It was time to capture more of our childrens' milestone moments in their lives. Madilyn at age two and Aiden at 6 months. For this photo shoot, we returned back to JC Penney's Portrait Studio. Sadly, it was not as enjoyable as previous visits. However, this is not a reflection of the studio at all. It was entirely due to the behavior of my 2 year old. She was insane! Our visit consisted of many, many tears and a good amount of "No, Mommy, no." As you will see, the photo results are not as "smiley" as we have seen from our daughter in the past. It was *so* terrible that we had to return a second time later that day to give Madi a break before we tried again. Unfortunately, our return visit did not go much better. Aiden performed very well, except he refused to do any belly shots. Every time we tried to lay him down on his tummy his waterworks began. It was a lovely experience. I was so embarassed. The studio assured me that my toddler is not the only child that acts this way. A special thank you to Aunt Kathleen for participating in this special field trip. I know I couldn't have handled this alone. Here are the results:
"No, mommy, no ..."
Finally, a little smile ...
Aiden is playing with the pink flowers that were meant to entice Madi to join in the photo.
Here are the only two photos that we were able to get of the two kids together. Yes, that is my arm strongholding my daughter to be in the photo with her brother. And, yes, those are my legs showing at the bottom of the photo. Like I said, she was insane!
And, of course, her eyes had to be closed ...
