Photobaby gets lots of hand-me-down clothes from my cousins, and a Santa suit is our latest find. It's just so cute - I knew right away it needed to be photographed. More specifically, I knew my little Santa baby needed to be photographed!So we went to Portrait Innovations on Sunday. Almost an hour after our appointment, we finally got into the studio. With a kid photographer who didn't care one iota about our pictures and couldn't work the equipment. The camera's battery even died at one point. By the time he started taking pictures, Photobaby and I were both cranky. And for some reason, Mr. I-don't-care Photographer took photos at the speed of turtle. So when Photobaby did crack a smile - which she did a few times - he missed it.
The good news? We got out of that store spending much less money than we have in the past. The bad news? Not a single Santa suit picture was good enough to buy.
So, I'm going with the photos I snapped in her bedroom a couple weeks ago. I draped a white blanket over her crib for a backdrop (although you can see in the corner of this picture where it was starting to slip), made funny faces, and got a couple good shots. Homemade photography - it works for me!
