Holiday Baking 2009

The kids and I managed to fit in some holiday baking this year, which is great because I love giving that personalized gift of holiday baking!

One day we made gingerbread cookies (shot with the Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens), and you can find the recipe on the SavvyMom EatSavvy Blog, where I participated in the Great Savvy Bake-Off:

The kids had fun decorating these ones (shot with the Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens):

Throughout all the baking activity, Alice just ‘chillaxed‘ (as my daughter Rebecca would say), which was a very good thing! Except when she disappeared from hanging out with us on the evening of the gingerbread cookie baking, Noah found her snacking on a gingerbread cookie in the dining room! They were set out to let the icing completely dry…have to get used to having a cat that can get into food in the house! lol (Shot with the Canon 85 f1.2L lens):

The Flu & Happiness Is a Cute Kitten: Pet Photography, Toronto, Ontario

We recently had the flu in our house, with both my son and daughter home for most of the week with it, I simply could not resist these photos of Alice keeping sick Noah company while he played on his DS:

Last weekend I completely got caught up in photographing Alice over the course of the day. All of the shots were taken with bounced on-camera flash, as natural light was non-existent. Love this shot of Alice, all fluffy and cute:

A few images of her during the crazy kitty time of day, ready to pounce:

The next two images were taken with my Lensbaby lens, this first one with the macro filter attachment for extreme close-up and very shallow depth of field, love the sharp nose and how everything else is a blur:

Envy her ability to sleep anywhere, shot wide open with the Canon 85 f1.2L lens:

Alice is wondering “When is lunch already?”

Capturing her climbing up her scratching post was tricky! She moves so fast:

Love this comical last shot of Alice. Sirens were going by on Avenue Road, and I think she was wondering what the heck the noise was all about, lol:

She continues to be a great joy to the whole family, happiness is having such a fun and wonderful new addition to our family. 🙂
