Thoughts on picturing…
A) I have no idea how people with a million kids manage to make it to photo sessions with all outfits, accessories, and children in tow. It took us 2 hours to get everything together, and we still forgot the kids’ shoes for the “brown & pink” theme.
B) Getting a 17-month-old to sit still and play the photography game is virtually impossible. Even with two parents and two grandparents clapping, whistling, acting silly, etc…she did as she pleased.
C) The people who take pictures of children in commercial photo-mill type places have excessive patience. I don’t know how they do it. Screaming kids, impatient parents, families lined up out the door….I’d lose my mind.
D) I heart Portrait Innovations. Yes, I’d love to get rockstar pictures taken by some of the cool photographers I admire, but I can go to Portrait Innovations and get a gazillion printed sheets AND the photo CD for less than the cost of a fancy-photo session fee alone. (Basically, I’m cheap. Because I got Dave Ramsied.)

They make me laugh. I love taking pictures. I love looking at pictures. And though Nick isn’t fond of this game, I love it when our outfits coordinate. 
Therefore, it was a good day.
