We decided to hire our wedding photographer to do our photos this time, even though she was quite a bit more expensive than our usual one. So seeing that I had to hand over a fat check at the end, I was praying that it would go well.
It started by Patrick not getting a long enough nap - total shocker. Then Jeff came in from work in a pissy mood. Now if you know my husband, you know he is the very even-tempered person; he gets moody like once a year. As opposed to my mood swings striking once an hour. So wouldn't it be typical that on the evening of our family photos that my son is tired and my husband is moody? Picture this: I'm getting ready in front of the mirror, Patrick and Jeff are in the shower (Patrick screaming and Jeff mumbling things under his breath like that's why you do these sort of things in the winter) and me screaming SHUT UP ABOUT WINTER. IT'S ALWAYS WINTER, WINTER, WINTER.
This was the mood before the photographer even showed up at our house. You can pretty much decipher what the shoot was like, but in a nutshell, Patrick screamed/cried/whined and ran away from us every six seconds. In fact, he was so worked up that by the end he was practically sobbing in my arms and could hardly get to sleep soon after.
Whatever, it was one for the books.
I was also 5 months pregnant at the time so my belly was impossible to cover, yet kind of weird to show off. Awkward! Here are my favorites (there are quite a few, actually!)
Now I have to choose which ones will go in our large family room frames, and I'm now finally inspired to make some kind of collage on our master bedroom wall.
I'm honestly just glad they're over with! Next year should be even more fun with an infant and a toddler. (I'm actually serious - it's going to be so exciting to see our family grow!)
