But my husband decided that this was the year. We were gonna do it! We decided to face the fear last night. We, at the last minute, found this place and gave them a call. Lucky us, we got a 5PM appointment.
Now, since this is a note about Bailey, I will skip all of the drama we experienced as we went to the wrong shopping center, then got lost on the wrong exit, then got stuck in traffic, then got frustrated because it was 5:20, then finally found the place at 5:35.
Bailey NEVER poses for pictures. She sees a camera and turns her head. She also never smiles for the camera. Any smiley pictures that we have are merely a coincidence! So, we had already accepted the fact that we may have a picture of four people smiling and one red head not even looking at the camera!
She did okay for the first 5 takes. She was fairly cooperative in those group photos. Then the lady brings out this fake tray of cookies and milk for daddy to hold. WHAT?! Did I mention that supper would be after the session?! So there goes Bailey, trying to grab the plastic, glued on cookies off the tray; becoming more and more aggravated with each try. So the crying and whining and spitting and scratching begins.
Needless to say, it was all down hill from there! Long story short, that poor lady used every antic known to man, took over 80 pictures, and we were left with ONE picture that was useful!
Shelby is looking very grown up and very beautiful. I like her hair a bit longer.
ReplyDeleteThe picture is great!!
We did a family portrait Friday...oh wow. What an undertaking. Josiah never cooperates for pictures, or with anything else for that matter. I understand the situation is different. I told the picture taker lady, "He's not going to smile, so don't worry about it." Like you said, there they go with the slapstick. lol
Anyway, love the picture. :D
