Well its not even Thanksgiving yet and I've already photographed my first Christmas tree decorating story which, if years past are any indication, will only be the first in a very long list of them. They are great community stories with people, in this case and many others too, decorating them for a cause, usually raising money and awareness for an organization or event. Yesterday I photographed one at Homestaed Oaks, a model home dealership. Each year the business invites charities to come in to decorate their model homes and in return they hold raffles etc... to raise money for each charity. It is nice for the business having they models look even more homey and it brings people in to see the latest they have to offer. Its the old win win situation. While at the photo shoot yesterday I decided to use one of the reflective ornaments on the Relay for Life tree for a self portrait and a possible Christmas card photo.
