Jake & Jenna's Christmas day!

For years I have said to myself, I wanted to do a Christmas themed shoot and never got around to it. This year though, I finally managed it . Let's spend some time with Jake and Jenna on Christmas day




























Hope you all have a Merry Christmas guys!

Wry cute. I especially like that she’s wearing his PJ top and he the bottoms. But to be fair to her, shouldn’t he be shirtless.

Another fun interior (is it actually a different room from Jake's study or just a creative way to shoot it with different furniture and the added Christmas pieces?) and a very believable scene. I noticed the same thing as Stryker -- what is it with women and men's shirts after getting out of bed? And I'm sure that as much as Jenna would have preferred Jake shirtless, that would have made the scene less plausible for Christmas morning. On the other hand, while I understand your desire to conceal the wrist joints, the wrist covers are a bit surprising. Loved the pooch and the presents, and the Christmas tree, at least what we see of it, seems to be in suitable scale.

Looks like a fun morning full of gifts, the decorations are fantastic and the shots are amazing. I personally like the very last shot with them together and then the santa claus staring directly at the camera.

Cheers Mark . Shirtless? here in the UK this time of year? poor Jake would have froze , but I do see what you are saying, it would probably have looked better

Really pleased you enjoyed the pics Ian . The set itself is made up of two wooden boards and an assortment of odds and ends to make up the scene. It was a fun set to build. I guess thinking about it now, Jake shouldn't have had his wrist covers on, but we learn from these small mistakes eh?

Thank you The-bomb, thanks for the amazing comments

Yes, of course. I don't know if it is a mistake... maybe it is so chilly in their home that he had to have his wrist warmers on! At any rate, this way you avoided a reprimand from Ovy, who is the leader of our local anti-joints-showing crusade. Great job, again, on the background (and everything else too).

Sir but everyone knows Jake is working out starting 4:30 am to maintain his new M33, expectations are rising and he isn't getting any younger. Of course he has to wear the covers!

Beautiful organic scene, the clutter makes it very 'lived in', better than many fake looking filmsets even.

They are like Barbie and Ken, but with violence.

Thanks again Ian!

Cheers Ovy! the Barbie and Ken with Violence made me laugh! Thanks also for the amazing comment about the set

See, you secured that elusive seal of approval from Ovy! And he provided a totally logical explanation neither one of us had through of. Thanks Ovy!

They look great all dressed up and ready to take on the world.

Thanks Ian! . I must admit, I am beginning to miss Jake's stubble, I may have to try the bearded version of the same head

There are several bearded (to various extents) versions of Chris Evans as Captain America out there, both by Hot Toys and third parties or knockoffs. Or you can experiment adding your own stubble, but be careful and work on a spare head.

Yeah, I have been looking at a few different types, still not decided yet which way to go

That was getting a bit steamy towards the closing moments.

Too much Christmas spirit maybe?
