Terrible Two's

When BJ was a little we took him for pictures all of the time. From age 10 months to about 2 years he was in, probably 1 a month. It helped that I worked at a picture studio and it was free.

With Brennen we have had a much better camera so we take tons more casual pics. When you don't work in a studio, prices are waaaay too expensive to go in all the time. We have a few, but he hasn't been in since he was about a year.

Since he turned two in June, I figured we should get him some studio portraits. I got a flyer for a cute kid contest and a free pic so I thought why not? We headed on into the Studio on Saturday, we got about 3 pics into it and it just went downhill from there. It was a disaster so we decided to come back another day.

That other day was Wednesday. He walked in and started screaming, and refused to even go in the studio. Bryan held him while he was screaming, handed him off to me and said, "He's yours, I'm done." We both agreed it was one of those very "normal" but very embarrassing things for us as parents.

We went with two of the first five and decided, WE'RE DONE with studios for a while. At least we got two pics out of it. When the contest goes up, you guys will have to vote for him, just as pity for our experience!

That is so perfect! Getting pictures done is a nightmare!!!!! But for being such a bad experience, that pic is soooo cute. Samantha has never had her picture done professionally...we need family pictures badly. Oh, well, add it to the list :)
