Yesterday we had our family pictures taken. My friend, Paula, is getting back into photography and did a wonderful job for us. Unfortunately, Chloe had a breakdown about fifteen minutes into the session, and refused to cooperate from then on. She normally puts on a great show when she sees a camera, as any of you who frequent her babysite know. But NOT yesterday! Ah well, I suppose there are worse things!
This is Neil's favorite. Chloe looks adorable, and her pose is priceless. Neil looks handsome as usual, but my smile is too teethy (if that's even a word).This is where Chloe decided she'd had enough. I especially like the second picture. You'd think Santa was holding her or something!
In a desperate effort to keep this little girl smiling, we tickled, twirled, and bribed away. But just when it appeared she'd snapped out it, the sob fest would start all over again.
This was our stopping point.
I would absolutely recommend Paula, if you are in the area and looking for a great photographer. Check out her blog to see more of her work.
And by the way, none of these pictures are going in our Christmas card. You're just going to have to wait to see that one when it's dropped in your mailbox! Don't worry, I'm mailing them out tomorrow. Hopefully you won't lose too much sleep between now and then.

Despite Chloe's melt down, these are great pictures. You guys look beautiful. I can't wait to see the real card.
Thanks Val, I had fun taking your pics. These are real life moments with our children and those are great memory moments. Chloe is a doll!
