Capturing the Holiday Season (December Challenge) | By Erica Williams

December 1, 2020

 

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Well, sorta.

I live in Arizona and the cactus really don’t change much…lol

2017-12-15_0003 (2018_01_20 04_52_23 UTC).jpgSo we have to work extra hard to get in the holiday mood. The past 3 years I have created holiday memories with my girls in the month of December. I took one photo everyday to document our holiday traditions starting December 1st. These are honestly some of my favorite images ever!! It really gets us in the Christmas spirit!2017-11-22_0008 (2018_01_20 04_52_23 UTC).jpg2017-12-09_0001 (2018_01_20 04_52_23 UTC).jpg2018-12-05_0002.jpg2019-02-23_0005.jpgI have compiled a list of helpful prompts to help you get started.
