We have thousands of pictures of Griffin and Roman that we take ourselves, but rarely have a photographer do the work. We had professional pictures taken when Griffin turned one and I wanted newborn pictures of Roman and 2 year pictures of Griffin taken by the same photographer. I worked very hard to make sure that everything would be just PERFECT for the photo shoot. I worked on matching outfits and fun props. I was like a mad woman on the morning of the shoot getting everyone ready in the appropriate colored outfit and loading 50 wardrobe changes in the car.
We drove about an hour out to this great plantation to meet Natalie. OH MY GOODNESS! I can not even begin to explain the heat. I mean it was June in southern Louisiana, but the heat almost knocked us down when we got out of the car. In typical "Griswald" fashion nothing went the way that I had so neatly envisioned in my mind.
She did a great job considering what she had to work with! We had a screaming and hot newborn and a dripping wet 2 year old who just didn't feel like taking pictures that day! All of those perfect outfits didn't quite make the cut. Roman was so hot we took naked pictures of him. Griffin's hair was soaked with sweat and he spilled juice down the front of his shirt. I learned a very important lesson that morning. NEVER schedule professional photos past the month of April and also just relax and take life as it comes.
