One year pictures

Only a month late having them done. Oops. They are unedited from the cd (meaning the prints look nicer as they've been cropped, etc.) but here are some of our favorites. We chose the first 5 to get prints of. But looking through the cd, i question some of our hasty choices. Oh well. A downfall to portrait innovations, for sure. You always wait forever, regardless of your appointment time (we waited over an hour in the fall for her 6 month pics and 55 minutes this time... jeff says its the last time we'll go there on a weekend at least) and then you have to make quick decisions. Well, here they are :-)




That last one is Jeff's favorite. My favorite is the one above it. He didnt like the pig tails. Boo.

These next ones are some that I regret not getting. For example, if i had it to do over, i wouldnt have gotten the 2nd one and instead I would have gotten this one:

This one is hilarious to me... she was laughing so much and having a blast during the shoot :-)And this one just looks sweet to me

All in all, we are pleased with how they turned out. I've been keeping a book of five 5x7's from her 3, 6, 9 and 12 month photo sessions and i'll admit, i'm glad its done. Its great to have and I dont regret it, but it costs a fortune. We started off using master portrait who does the 3,6, 9, 12 month deal where its $20 for the first session which includes your book and first set of 5x7's and then each subsequent session is $15 which again includes the 5x7's but then they went out of business (well, the location in chatanooga tennessee is still operational, they said!... um, thats a bit far, thanks) so we have a hodge-podge of photographers to finish it out. Its beautiful and i love it, but our bank account is glad to see it done :-)
