modern pittsburgh photography

I went to the tree farm with max and his family to get their Christmas tree last week.

it was my first time at a cut-your-own tree farm,

it was freezing, but we did get the first snow of the season. -tif

maybe it because i read them all the time with scarlett, but this post feels like a children’s book to me. -tif

we walked around for a while trying to find the perfect tree,

max found one just his size.  -tif

…and then tried to cut it down from the top with his plastic saw.  -tif

once they had the tree picked out, max and his grandpa went to work.  -tif

I loooove this shot.  It’s great that him and grandpa got to work together :) – jonathan

little man, big gloves!

remember that chris farley line “big man, little jacket”

for some reason i thought of that when i saw this picture – jonathan

Ha, I think it was “fat man in a Little coat” but that’s funny.  -tif

after max had taken care of the tree there were high five’s all around.  -tif

how perfect was it that it was snowing on this Christmas shoot! incredible! – jonathan

hey while your here, check out tom and amanda’s e-shoot for more pics of max.  -tif

click the photo.

ok, this one is my favorite of the day.  -tif

it is great, and i am just digging the snow in these pictures. – jonathan

i wish there was some on the ground, i guess we’ll get plenty of that soon though.  -tif

did you just loose your dog here? – jonathan

she was running around the whole time, i think she had the best time out of anybody.  -tif

max “helping” dad and grandpa carry the tree, how great is that.  -tif

what a great shoot tiff! you really captured the day. I felt like i was there when looking at these pictures.

and amanda, please tell me max’s hat comes in my size! – jonathan

i still have the  teddy bear hat on my list, now i have to find one of these too?  -tif

thanks Amanda and tom, for letting me be part of your tree adventure,

and happy birthday max!  -tif
