Okay, everyone needs to have a family like this one in their lives. I happen to be lucky enough to be friends with this girl and her awesome, zany family. She has been my fabulous photographic assistant for years now and her daughter models for me often, and she is a whiz with the crafts, outfits and ideas that go into pulling off a styled photography shoot. Since her family is bold and crazy enough to show up in downtown Dallas or at a busy mall in full Elf gear, we’ve made a tradition of shooting her family recreating the scenes in the movie, Elf.
Though we’ve had to watch the movie about a million times (yeah yeah we HAD to…) to keep coming up with new ideas every year, somehow we make it happen. Now to start deciding what to do next year! But I’ll show you what we did in 2015, 2016 and 2017.
Though we definitely put our own spin on things, see how many of our favorite scenes you recognize!

So awesome in every way! My favorite movie and love that they can have so much fun with a shoot. I will take this over boring posed family shots any day! Great job Sally!
These are so fun, Sally. What a great idea. Thank you for sharing them.
