One of my sisters is the student & young adult pastor at a church here in Niagara Falls - Niagara Worship Centre. I feel really lucky that a year after I moved to Niagara Falls for my job at Pro Church Tools she was hired by NWC and moved here too. 

Each Christmas since then she has had the responsibility of putting together a photo booth for our church, and I have had the creative pleasure of lending a hand. 

Last year we created an artistic forest. 

This year we went for a more cheerful, cartoonish, style. Covering the back of our space with a wrapping paper with a colourful, confetti Christmas tree pattern on it. Then we hung a garland - we went with a fake one because last year we worked with real pine, and the needles dried out so quickly and kept falling off. The final thing we added to our back drop was a couple of gold word banners that Allysin picked up from Winners.

The final touches were some cardboard props, and some oversized 'ornaments' that Allysin and I (and Kelli Ann!) made from balloons and bristol board. 

Here are a few shots that I took this past Sunday:

Also how insanely adorable are Ry, his niece Lily, and Britt? Like seriously! My heart!

I have a couple engagement shots coming up, so look forward to that, and I'll hopefully have some shots from my own Christmas celebrations.

Merry Christmas y'all!
