Merry Berry Cranberry Smoothie

This has been one of my most favorite things to photograph so far. It just looked so beautiful with fresh greens and cranberries. So festive. So cold. So refreshing.

I have to admit it was a ton of fun. I’ve come to find out why I love food photography so much. The objects don’t move unless you move them yourself. Totally different from trying to capture your kids Christmas picture. They are worlds apart in ease.

I know it’s probably because I’m their mother but boy it does it use every bit of my patience. Last time  it ended with. “All right. That’s it! We’re done. Get in the car. NOW!”

Remember how I told you that I’m the best mother ever? Yeah, right! I did manage to get some good pictures but not without a lot of. “Stop looking at your brother.”  “Don’t touch her.”  “Please! For the love of all this good will you just look at me.”

Thank goodness the Christmas card is complete. Photographed. Printed. In the envelopes. Addressed. Hopefully going out in today’s mail. Yay! I got something accomplished.

Now I can reward myself with this refreshing drink. I’d love to make one for you too. Merry Berry Christmas to you!
