Lilli had her 3 month pictures taken! This is the first experience with a professional photographer and I've got to say that she did a GREAT job! We got there with Lilli in great spirits, but after waiting over 20 minutes or so, she got restless. (who wouldn't?!) Needless to say, we got fantastic pictures!
Finding an outfit was difficult- dressy? casual? pink? I bought a dress that I was 'OK' with, but I wasn't completely content. After consulting Pro-Mom Ashley, I returned the dress and got a really cute turquoise outfit that ended up being WAAAAY on sale and totally perfect! They suggest that you bring some 'memorabilia'- she really only likes her fists- so that was a challenge. I looked at the dress and realized her favorite 'cuddly' blanket complemented the colors of her outfit. As I was feeding Lilli this morning I saw a Kohl's commercial that showed 'Baby's First Purse' that Lilli got as a shower gift from our friends, the Verdoncks. I threw it in the 'Photography Session' bag.
We got to the session and waited, and waited patiently, then waited some more. Like I said, she got restless, but the photographer got her up-to-speed. She propped Lilli up with her 'Cuddly Blanket'. She laughed and giggled at her and Lilli responded well. After a couple pics, we propped her on her elbows. Lilli stayed her content self (with a little spit up) and we got some great shots. THEN- I remembered that Lilli's turquoise outfit had a little PageBoy hat in it, so I thought of Uptown Girl- hat and purse?!? We got some shots of Lilli with her First Purse. Once again, she rocked the shoot. I changed her into her Christmas outfit and by that point, she was officially tired. I fed her in between shots and we really only got a couple close-ups, so you can't see her patent MaryJanes. I was OK with that though, because she is going to wear that outfit meeting Santa- we can get a better picture then. After all, this was for her 3-month pictures!
I went online to find frames and found MEGA STEALS at kohls.com. I would recommend that site to anyone who needs frames in bulk. (I had to find more than 15 frames!)
I'm so proud of our Little Lilli! I can't wait to share the pictures with you once we get the link...it should be about 10 business days.
Stay WARM!
Love,
Julie, George, and Lilli
