I love photographing Santa his friends at Painted By U.  It's super fun to photograph kiddos, and Santa is pretty great too.  Let's be honest here.  I am not crafty or artsy, but I am crazy about this  store.  The fun colors and paints make me smile.  Pick any piece of pottery in that place, and it'd look great in my home after we added some color and fire.  The idea of that big o' kiln in the back kinda fascinates me.  Oh, and the owner and her fam are some of my favorite people IN THE WORLD.  They should be on TV.  I know you think I'm kidding, but I'm not.

Anyway(s), here are my favorite photos from the day.  IF you'd like to see the rest of the album, then please visit www.allisonshirley.zenfolio.com/santandme2013.  

Also, if you are one of the families that spent time with Mr. Claus, then there is still time to get the digital images!  I will have CDs available at PBU when you pick up your pottery.
