Pictures!

We got a wonderful Christmas gift from my brother-in-law, Bill. He got us a free photography session with his ex co-worker (a professional photographer)!!! When I contacted her to get Koleton's 6 month pictures done, she was booked and didn't have anything available until February! She suggested the spring and I started thinking. Most likely the shots will be done outside... it is January and has been COLD! April would be much nicer weather! lol So I emailed her back and we are hopefully going to get his 9 month pictures done with her instead! They should be amazing!

Plan B lol We headed to Sears to get his 6 month pictures done instead :) We were a little hesitant to go back since his 3 month pictures did not turn out that great.  We took him for a free Christmas picture though and they were AMAZING! I would have paid for those pictures! (we just took the free collage though lol) Well his 6 month pictures did not disappoint! We asked for the same guy who took his Christmas pictures, and he was there and took Koleton's pictures again.  Koleton was being stubborn at first, but as soon as I started belting out "Itsy Bitsy Spider" he was all smiles and laughs! lol The guy who took his pictures, Jeff, called the other photographer over to admire Koletons pictures!  Then he called me in and told me how BEAUTIFUL Koleton's eyes were - "I mean WOW, he has BEAUTIFUL eyes!".

Of course I had my coupons (got a free collage and 30% off!) But we still managed to spend a pretty penny lol I couldn't be happier with how they turned out though! Even the "throw away" pictures were good! I had him restore one of them and ordered prints of it! It is one of my favorites actually! lol

 I just LOVE the one with his hand in his mouth... since that is how he is so often these days! lol
 The top one here is the restored photo... and the bottom one is just adorable! :)
 Love these too! lol
 My absolute favorite! Plus you can see his teeth in it!

 I like this one too, and am kind of sad because I think I didn't order any of it :(

    Oh, they're all so cute!!! It's so hard to choose! It is always so hard when they "throw away" some of the pictures!

    Back in the day, when you got pictures done (before digital pictures/prints) they would actually print out a whole package of prints... and you would come back after the sitting and choose the one's you wanted to purchase. It was so awful to know that the ones you didn't buy were literally going to be thrown away! I'm sure they did that on purpose, cause I seemed to always buy more than I intended to.

    Glad you're capturing those moments. You'll be glad you did. I remember your mom got pictures (the free 8x10 from Penny's) of you guys each month for the first year. It was amazing how much you changed from month to month.

    You have a beautiful son, and it sounds like you are wonderful parents! So, so happy for you!
