1 Year Old Photo Shoot

Today was rough. I think I'll hold off on the details for another posting. I took the girls for pictures. My first priority was to get 1 year old pictures of Brooke...we're a few weeks late since her big bruise on her forehead occurred, but since I had already rescheduled 3 times I decided we were going regardless of the greenish remnant of the injury on her noggin.

As you can see from the three photos below we weren't successful in getting a group photo. Brooke wasn't very cooperative, although not crying for the most part. And the other two, well as I already said, I'll save it for another post.




They turned out okay, considering what we went through to get them. They aren't necessarily my favorite poses, but we selected the poses based upon what Brooke seemed to protest to the least. Too bad I didn't plan on getting pictures taken, too, because she kept running to me and giving me the biggest hugs and kisses...then I would stand her back in her spot hoping they could snap a picture in the 1.2seconds she paused before running back to me for another hug.

Thinking back, I recall that one year old photos weren't much fun with the other girls, either. Too young to understand but old enough to have an opinion! The color didn't scan well for some reason so they are a little muted, but they do a good job capturing her personality.

Ironically I received an email today from
Picture People notifying me that my photos from a year ago were about to expire in their system and if I wanted to order any more copies I would need to do so soon. Here are two shots from their proofs of my dark haired and tan baby from April 12, 2006...she was one month old.



It's been a long 365 days, but worth it.

It was a long day for you, but the pictures are really good. I just hope they aren't tainted with the memory of having 4 crying girls in the car on the same day! That sucks. Do you think that strategy is in your book?

Also, I can't believe she's even the same girl as the baby in the pictures. She looks so different!
