Professional Pictures

8/4/13

We had our first professional pictures with Erica taken a week ago...and now we have a problem...we don't know which one is our favorite!!!

Luckily for us, we purchased a package that gives us the CD with digital copies of all pictures taken...for this photo shoot and a few additional ones over the course of her first year to show her growth!!!  So now, as we look at these great pictures, we have no clue which ones are our favorites!!! Fortunately, we have the digitals so we can print and frame at our leisure, and not have to decide on 3 prints to be produced by the studio for an astronomical fee!

We took Erica last Saturday for her first pictures.  It's an in-home photographer that has been doing this for decades, but recently moved his business from a studio to his home.  His "in-law suite" was converted to a studio in recent years and it worked great!  He had a variety of props/stages inside as well as dozens of locations/sets to be used outside. As we walked around his acres of property on our way to a pond, we couldn't help but think how cute Erica would look in a few of the sets. 

Without spending hours typing this blog, I'll summarize it by saying Erica did an awesome job at the photo shoot, and she looks absolutely adorable in each and every picture the photographer snapped.  The instant we sat her down she struck a pose on her own and it was all smiles and great pictures until the tears started to flow an hour later that told us our time was up!  I've included a few pictures below to give you an idea of the variety of pictures we took last Saturday.  We're excited to go back in a few months and then repeat the process a few more times to capture some cute memories of our little girl as she grows before our eyes!

Enjoy...and, as always, thanks for reading my Daddy Diary!!!  Take care!
