Living Room Photo Studio – Christmas Edition
[Sunday 18 December 2016, posted online on 17 February 2017. April weather, and the days are getting long. Good stuff!]
Three years ago, my brothers came over and I took photos of them and all the kids, which we (Pétur and I) made into a book to give mom for Christmas.
Since then, one grandchild has been added to the mix, and they’ve of course all gotten older, so we thought it was high time to make a new book with the grand-kids.
We were short on time so we used a local printer, with a local program, which doesn’t offer nice pdfs to view online, but if I do recreate the book, I’ll post a link to it here.
Until then, here are some of the photos. Oh, and the older generation also found themselves in front of the camera, but unfortunately we were missing brother Bjarni, who was busy (and also, kid-less!).
Pétur performed the photoprocessing, he’s a hero! Below are a few of the photos that made the cut, here are the rest. (27 images total)
Bjarki and Anna “debbing” (isn’t that what the young ones are calling this pose?)
Madame Emma in Anna’s old Yuletide dress.
Bjarki, auto-collaged by the mighty Google.
Anna, growing up fast!
Sisters, with love.
Mr. Finnur, flying solo.
Aaand the second family photo of 2016, the other one was a car-selfie! (Bjarki insisted on grabbing Reynir’s box for the occasion, hence his somber face.)
Next up: Photos of Nökkvi, Jóhanna, and their cute kiddos.
Ylfa, the oldest.
Iðunn, in the middle.
Breki, the bambino.
Just the siblings.
Entirely normal people.
Awww… smiles!
Nökkvi the Normal.
Jóhanna the Picture Perfect.
Sadly, Signý was in London when we took these photos, so it was just Pétur and Fannar.
Cutie pie!
Very normal.
We attempted to take a photo of all the kids. It went about as well as could be expected…
Emma and Iðunn did quite well together though.
Then things got a little wild with props!
Mr. Glasses Man.
The best accessory.
No photoshoot involving these two would be complete without one of these…
Phew! All done! Everybody completely done for after an insane hour and a half.
The setup, for future reference. The backdrop: Our bedroom curtains. Ikea for the win, as always!
