This morning was our big trip to Target Portrait studio for Lydia’s newborn pictures.  I had high hopes leading up to the appointment.  Alethea’s newborn pictures from Target turned out really great.  The photographer used some creative poses and took a ton of pictures and we ended up having so many favorites that we just ordered the photo CD so that we could have them all!  Not so with Lydia’s pictures.  After waiting for half an hour past our appointment time (which is crazy since they open at 10am and we booked the 10:10 time slot), we ended up with a photographer who was clearly in a rush and only took 16 pictures (and that’s if you count the two where she got her hand in the foreground!)

What a bummer to spend all morning getting two kids plus ourselves photo ready and not end up with a decent shot of Lydia and Alethea or any pictures of me and Lydia or Peter and Lydia.  Basically we just ended up with a couple good ones of Lydia, but it seems to me it doesn’t take a lot of skill to get nice pictures of a cute and happy little baby girl when you have a professional studio at your disposal.

Sigh… sorry for venting…

I did ease some of my frustration by coming home and taking a bazillion pictures of Lydia.  Wanna see a couple?

And because this week has been busy, I finally got my 2 Weeks shot:

I’m sorry, Sweet Girl, that there won’t be as many newborn studio pictures around as there are of your sister.  I promise you it’s not because we love you any less.  Blame Target, not Mommy, okay?
