I-Hate-the-Holidays-Filter: Help me find the photographer behind the greatest holiday card/family portraits I've ever seen...
A couple of years ago I came across the website of a hip & modern photo studio (it may have been a husband & wife team) who, every year, created an elaborate holiday-themed set on the floor of their studio. The set was "on its side" so to speak - the photographer shot from above, looking down onto the set, which gave the illusion of normal perspective. However, being "sideways" on the floor, subjects could lay on their side with their hair trailing out behind them & look as though they were flying. The sets were obviously cheesy and the overall result was very tongue-in-cheek.
One year the set was a sleigh on its side, with a very faux reindeer team pulling the sleigh; the floor was covered with/painted in a dark blue "sky". A mom could "sit" in the sleigh, while dad "clung" to the back of the sleigh and was "pulled" behind, while a kid could "ride" one of the reindeer.
Does anyone recognize this studio/photographer? They're fairly popular in the current crop of portrait/family photographers on the workshop/blog circuit. I've Googled endlessly and am coming up empty. I realize this request would be easier with photos, but I can't find those either!

Response by poster: Sufi, that's not it, but the photographer definitely shoots in the same manner as the studio noted in the question. Thanks for your help... Any other leads?
