I can’t believe how well Lizzie’s 18 month Pictures turned out. She has always been my difficult one to get pictures of. When she was 4 months old, I had to sit on a stool with a blanket covering me holding her just so she would stop crying long enough to get her picture taken. Today was no exception. She was constantly on the move and any toy that the photographer used to make her laugh she wanted and when she couldn’t have it she threw a tantrum. She absolutely loved this white kid sized rocking chair. They kept moving it so she wouldn’t see it and she kept finding it. I laugh now, but it was very frustrating at the time.  So by the end of the picture session, I didn’t really have high hopes for how well the pictures would turn out. I was pleasantly surprised. They took 92 pictures!!!! and I loved most of them. She was full of personality in all the pictures so I really feel like they captured who she is.

I was trying out a new picture studio this time. From the time Alex was born I have always gone to Picture People. And up until 6 months ago I felt that they have always done a good job. When I took the kids for their Easter and Birthday pictures last February and March I realized how much their quality and costumer service had slid. I was driving out to Deptford for service that I really didn’t like. The pictures were okay, but i think they could have done better. So I decided that for Lizzie’s next pictures at 18 months I would go somewhere else. Several other mom’s suggested Portrait Innovations. They did a great job, like I said I loved almost all her shots and the price was great. They were running a special, for $9.95 I got a 10×13, 2 8×10, 4 5×7, 4 3.5×5, and 32 Wallets. I also got a free wall calender. Wow!!! They also had some nice specials if you got 3 or more poses, including a CD of your pictures, which Jason likes. I didn’t feel the need to have that many pictues of Lizzie at 18 months. As it is I have way more than I will ever use, but it was cheeper to get the package than it was to buy just one sheet. I am looking forward to getting the kids Christmas pictures done this year, and especially their Easter and Birthday pictures. I decided that this year I would get their Easter and Birthday pictures done all at once. They are all so close together that the kids are not going to change that much in a three month time span. So I am def. going to take advantage of the 3 pose package then.

Have a great day
