Photo Session

Yesterday afternoon, Tim, Alexis, and I went to have our first family potraits taken professionally. We did holiday backgrounds mainly. First were the pictures of us together. Alexis did great and had some cute smiles for the photographer. Then, we did some of just Tim and Alexis and just me and Alexis. These also went well. After the group pictures, the photographer decided to try to get some of Alexis by herself. I immediately imagined Alexis crawling away towards all of the cords that she could chew on. The photographer got out a white wicker bench and put Alexis and a Christmas teddy bear on it. She wanted Alexis on one end and the bear of the other. Yeah right! Alexis just wanted to play with the bear. However, Tim stood behind her and helped to keep her sitting up and we got a couple of cute shots. Then, the photographer decided to put Alexis on the ground with fake milk and cookies as props. She wanted them behind her back. Again I thought "Yeah right!" Alexis of course started to steal the milk and cookies. We got cute shots of her playing with the cookies, but none of her actually looking at the camera. After a few minutes of futility, we put Alexis on a small wooden bench and got a couple of cute shots. Then, we had to call it a day. She was fading fast. All in all, we got some adorable pictures and as soon as they come in, we will be sending them out! I've posted a picture that we didn't have printed as a sneak peak! Happy holidays!
