This past weekend, I did some fun Christmas photos of The Reflectives, a band based out of the greater Cincinnati area. The photos were meant to capture the goofiness of the group and awkwardness of most family Christmas photos. I think that we accomplished that. Also, the ornament reflection portrait is kind of awesome. I love photographing this band!

2014 is going to be a great year for the band. The Reflectives will be releasing their first studio produced album titled, "Everything's Pretend" shortly after the first of the year. They will be having an album release party on January 17th, 2014.

They are also having a meme contest. Create a meme with your favorite Reflective's Christmas photo and you could get your choice of tickets to their show or a downloaded copy of their upcoming album, "Everything's Pretend".
