This photo shoot was in partnership with Minted, a company our family loves and have ordered holiday cards from for years. I only share about companies I think you will love as much as I do, and I truly believe Minted is one of them. All photography by Jennifer Calderon.
Christmas season is my favorite holiday of the whole year! Growing up, we always decorated every inch of our home and our family hosted an open house for all our friends on Christmas afternoon. It’s one of my fondest memories of the holiday season. Christmas, for our family, is a time when find ways to serve those around us in our community, enjoy a holiday dinner with good friends and spend lots of time with family. This year, our home was selected for our cities Holiday Home Tour, so we’ll be getting ready for that as well.
While I love Christmas and decorating our home, the arrival of Holiday cards in my mailbox is something I look forward to all year. We even find ways to hang each card in our home as they arrive and, often times, you’ll see them up all year round as a reminder to pray for our friends and family throughout the year. Each year I look forward to our family photos and scrolling through pages and pages of Minted’s beautiful holiday cards to select just the right one to send to all our family and friends.
This year Minted made getting ready for the holidays so easy and convenient with their brand new Minted Photo Op program. What is that you ask?!

Yes, they are lovely. I would choose either the last one or the one by the ferry. I prefer the latter.
