NOT Coming Soon to a Mailbox Near You

The following is what happens when one mom tries to capture a simple Christmas card picture of her daughter. Professional photographers be advised: we WILL be using your services next year!



First, a LOOOONG series of awkward pictures as mom tries singing (among other silly methods) to get a smile.

Tired of hearing mommy sing, Baby Girl grabs a New Testament off the bookshelf- not so subtly reminding her mom that cute pictures on cards have nothing to do with the REAL reason we celebrate Christmas! Mom quickly adjusts her attitude ;)

Silly mommy thinks a nap and a basket (to stop the running away) might help... more awkward faces are captured.

Baby Girl convinces mommy that the flash is permanently damaging her eyes.

24 hours (and a wardrobe change) later, Baby Girl has realized what it means when mommy gets the camera out, and apparently it means act as silly as possible!

In order to show Baby Girl how much '"fun" it is to be in pictures, mom jumps in a couple of shots too. Does she look convinced?

Then it all ends with the "I'm all finished with pictures and I REALLY mean it" face.

Did we finally get a good one somewhere in there?? Check your mailboxes soon to see ;)
