Until Next Year... - Vignettes Photography, Tucson's on-location photographer

As January comes to a close, I wanted to share some of my Christmastime photos with you. (I meant to share these a long time ago, but hadn't gotten around to editing them until today!) I decided to play a bit with textures in these photos. I love how moody they are, and how the textures really bring out the warmth and feeling of the season. What do you think?

This is the nativity musical snow globe that my grandma got for me years ago, and it is still one of my most treasured things.

My friend Katie made this cute wreath for me! I LOVE it, and it will be staying up year-round. =)

I finally got my advent calendar up this year for the first time ever. Love the little boxes for holding stuff.

My brother-in-law, Mark, gave these two candles to me many years ago. He is a great gift-giver, and these candles always make me smile when I pull them out at Christmastime.

I love Christmastime. =) I cannot wait until next year when I get to pull it all out again. Maybe I could sneak in a bit of Christmas music while my hubby's at work today.... (He holds a strict policy on when we're allowed to pull out the Christmas music. Otherwise I'd have it on all 12 months.) =)
