Advent Project 2015

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! You thought I liked Autumn and got excited about Halloween… you ain’t seen nothing yet! I started playing Christmas music at the beginning of November, I mean business. As a way to vent my over-excitement for the festive season last year, I set myself a challenge to post a new photo for every day of Advent. Not only did I have a lot of fun taking photos of anything remotely Christmassy, but I ended up with some photos that have now made their way onto my very own Christmas cards selling at a local gallery shop. So with the success of last Advent, and a year of experience in between, I’m very excited to be doing it all over again this year!

Head on over to my Facebook Page and give it a like (click ‘get notifications’ so you don’t miss a thing!) and follow me @heatherbelphoto on Instagram and Twitter to see this year’s photographic Advent countdown. In the meantime, to get us in the spirit (not that I need any prompting!) I thought I’d share a few of my favourite shots from last year.

…and a sheepish grin as he spotted me capturing him posing!

Rad Santa – caught this festive biker stuck in traffic on the way out of city centre… gotta give the reindeers a rest before their big night, I suppose!
