I'm exuberantly happy to report that yesterday we finally had a pleasant photo shoot experience!Impulsively I called Sears yesterday morning and made an early afternoon appointment. I threw some things in my massive purse/diaper bag, loaded the kids in the car, and we were off!
Despite a 20 minute wait (which felt like an ETERNITY with Clive running around) the kids did a super job. The photographer was amazing! She was happy, personable, funny, and engaging. She managed to get some terrific smiles out of Chloe by getting her to say "Boogers". A word Chloe had not known previously. :) And now Clive is saying "boogers" constantly and smiling. I say that's a small price to pay for some stellar photos!
In fact, I had a terrible time deciding on one pose. I stuck to my guns though and didn't yield to the photographer's sales pitch to order more. And because of my coupon, I came away with 24 prints for $8 plus a free 10 x 13 portrait.
Looking at the poses below, which do you think I chose?
1: sitting on a rock
2: leaning on rock
3: lying in a field of flowers
4: standing in the flower field (looks real, doesn't it?)
5: balloon head
6: looking up
7: squishing the 4
8: steps

Wow, that's a tough decision. They are all so great! I'd have gone with either 1 or 8. I vote 1 as your pick. Did I get it?
Great pictures! Woo-hoo. This is the one thing that I am so kicking myself for not getting done despite the morning sickness -- getting the girls' pictures done while we were in the States. I just kept putting it off and then it was time to leave. Sigh... But anyway, glad you got a great photographer to work with.
WOW! No wonder you had such a hard time; Chloe is so photogenic! I loved #8, too. And yes, I suppose I could deal with "boogers" for a few great shots. :) Which did you choose?
I like 2 or 3 best...couldn't decide. how did you?
They are all good, but my vote is the first or last picture - it's the same photo.
She looks great in all of them! So cute! When did she grow up?!?! :) I too like the 1st and last one. Glad it was a such a good portrait session.
i say #2. a great smile with the full effect of those delicious cheeks. :)
I can see why you had a hard time choosing! She looks so grown up and I love her hair! Enjoy those precious pictures of your sweet girl.
I guess 2, 3, or 8. What a terribly hard decision!!! CUTE pictures!!!
I pick 8 :) Great pics!! They are so big. Glad you had a great summer. Wish I could've picked you up on the way to WV. It was so nice to be there for a couple days. Love ya.
