Birthday Photo Shoot

The challenge: Get the 5 year old and 3 year old to give their genuine, adorable smiles, instead of cheesy fake ones, and get the 1 year old to sit still for 3 seconds. It's hard enough with individual poses. Getting all three to cooperate at the same time was impossible.

Success? Limited. These are the best ones (small grainy images from the Sears website). If you want to see the the rest of them go here.

While we were trying to pick out the pictures that we wanted, we took turns viewing them and watching after Ashley. At one point we both got involved, and Ashley disappeared. She was nowhere in the studio. This was at Sears, and after fanning out to search for her (including the portrait people), we finally found her playing in the shoe section. She can escape in an instant! A few moments more and she could have made it to the general mall area.
