Not getting a decent picture of my kids so we didn't have to spend $823 on pictures?
Well, my friends, that's priceless.

Sounds like Kendall is going to be better served by non-studio settings. At least until she realizes that the camera is her friend and she can charm the pants off her mommy, daddy, grams and gramps, etc. Until then... candid photos will have to do.
Glad to know you are one of the honest moms. Thanks for sharing.

Happened to me a month ago with Lainey. I didn't have the boys so took her to get her 9 month pictures. Went to P.I. and they sucked. She freaked anytime I sat her down. they kept telling me to move out of the picture, and, finally, they said, "This isn't happening and we can't even try to sell you one of these shots. Come back some other time." Right. With the boys? Because we will be likely to get a picture then?
We went straight to Target (walked in, no wait). The photographer was a gem, patient and understanding. She let me sit with Lainey and she actually *gasp* got on the floor to take a picture! They were fabulous and that is the only place we will go from now on.
I know Brad offered, but I'd be cheaper! So if you want to give it a go I've got next week.....and the 2nd week of August.
What a coincidence! Keith and I had 56 fights trying to get out the door to church the other day.
Way to look on the bright side of things. :)
