Smile Supermodels

We have a goal set: to have the kids pictures done every year around their birthdays. After putting it off for a few weeks we FINALLY stepped up and had them DONE!

I was READY! I had 4 coordinating outfits chosen for my baby supermodels and a fifth (a tutu) for Bug. I packed a hairbrush, a variety of hair bows to match Hailey's ensembles, extra hair elastics, several shoes, socks and tights. I was prepared to tend to their every supermodel need.

Hailey did well. She smiled, she clapped and cheered..... Kyle...not so much. I thought I had prepared him. We were all pumped up and excited for pictures. Maybe it was that we had to wait 45 minutes before we actually sat for our photo shoot. OR maybe he is just 2 and difficult.
Either way it all worked out. Hailey had a handful of shots for us to choose from and Kyle gave us a few as well. We TRIED changing them into other outfits but Kyle was not cooperative and then Hailey (the little copycat) had to follow her big brothers lead.
It may not have been the PERFECT photo shoot I had imagined. I certainly didn't have too much to choose from and I was sad there was not a single photo with the two of them together. However, on the bright side after leaving there I always feel like I left so much behind it is so hard to edit, pick and choose which photos stay and which photos go, and this time I feel like I have some of the best shots.
In the very least I saved over $120 using coupons and credits AND I got a super cute picture of Bug in her Tutu =) I don't know if any of THESE pictures will make the wall at "Picture People" (like Kyle's picture from last year) but they certainly make the walls in my home. I love em'!
