Will And Eko Christmas Cards: Take One

Despite my best intentions, I have never managed to follow through with sending out Christmas cards.  Last year was Eko’s first Christmas and I thought it would be the perfect year to finally send out a card.  I wanted to send a photo of Eko with Santa, but unfortunately the “best” photo I got didn’t come out exactly as planned.

I thought it best not to send a card where it looks like Eko is a demon elf being choked out by Santa

Last year’s disaster only strengthened my resolve, so this morning Eko and I tried a few different looks we might use for our card this year.

Rhodesian Ridgeback, pet adventure

For our first photo we went with a fun look.  Eko wasn’t thrilled with his role as a Rhodesian Reindeer

“Will, let’s try something else”

Next up, we went with a more classic vibe:

Rhodesian Ridgeback, dog adventure

A hundred pounds of Christmas cheer

Something still seemed to be missing from our photo, so our last attempt copied the look from hip winter fashion ads you see in department stores:

Eat your heart out Macy’s 

I like all of our photos, but none of them are ready to be the first Will and Eko Christmas card.  It took us a while to figure it out, but none of the cards seem right because while we have sweet outfits and Eko’s good looks in our photos, we don’t have any holiday decorations.  Tonight we are headed out to fix that and will report back tomorrow with photos of a nice Christmas tree that hopefully Eko won’t try to eat!

    My favorite Christmas photo was the one from your road show last year on the Christmas train with Santa. Natural and joyous….like you two.

  4. The models are perfect but you’re right about the backdrop. Bring it on!

  5. Victoria says:

    poor Eko looks worried – but i sure like the 100lbs of Christmas Cheer!

  6. Oh my, what poor Eko has to go through in the name of you trying to send out your first ever card. I’ll be wishing him luck for his next photo shoot.

    Lol. Thanks Will and Eko. You had my girlfriend and me laughing pretty hard. You guys are the coolest dudes ever:)

  11. caitlin says:

    gahh ahaha this cracked me up!

  12. LuAnn says:

    I have to say Will, I gasped when I saw the picture of Santa choking Eko. I guess Eko had been rather naughty last year? Looking forward to seeing what you decide upon for your Christmas card.

    Will you sure look like you are enjoying yourself in all those pictures but I can’t say the same for Eko. I do like the final picture and I think with some photoshop magic it could look very christmassy. I’m thinking a Blues Brothers theme would be good.

  15. I think you should use the one of Eko in your arms – love it!

  16. Clowie says:

    Those pictures are great! I hope the Christmas tree goes well.

  17. onebluedog says:

    I might have scary dreams about Santa tonight…

    But I am so excited to see your Christmas tree!

  18. Use the last photo! It’s awesome. 😉

    Definitely the last photo, the hip Macy’s store style, I love it!
