Kensley's pictures

I took Kensley yesterday to have her 18 mth pictures made. I'm a big sucker for pics of my kids... especially when they are cute. However, in my defense, I had planned on getting quite a few pictures because it's been so long since I've had pictures of her made & been able to purchase them to give to friends & family. I went to Portrait Innovations in Charlotte. I've never been there before, so I wasn't really aware of all of their packages or special. Kensley did good for most of the pictures. She got tired of it at the end...but don't we all? As we finished up & the photographer sat me down to view all the pictures, we narrowed the selection down to 14 poses. She then tried to sell me ALL of the poses with a package that included 3 sheets of each pose. Why in the world would I need that many pictures of my kid? That's 42 sheets of pictures of my kid. I don't even have that many people I would give a picture of her too. Plus, not to mention the fact that I have 2 other kids and most people would probably prefer a picture of all 3 of them together. Anyway, off subject... I kept telling her that I didn't want but a few pictures, so we kept narrowing & narrowing & finally got it down to 3 poses. They presented what I thought was a pretty good deal, so I accepted. Then, she says "did you know about our special for $9.95?" Uh no... then she blabbered that you get a bazillion pictures of one pose for that price. Hello? Why didn't I know about this at the beginning & I would have spent a lot less money. Mental note taken for next time. So here's the results of the photo shoot. You might be getting a picture of her soon because I've still got a ton of them... even after we narrowed it down.






After we did pictures, I had lunch with my friend Holly. We ate at a fabulous restaurant... Wolfgang Puck Bistro... it was SO yummy. The one thing that I would like about living in Charlotte is the vast choices of restaurants and shopping... although it would probably be very bad for me.

those pics are so cute!!! she is such a doll baby! we often go to protrait innovations and i do think they take incerdible pics but not so great with the prices unless you get the 9.95 deal. i mean thier prices are better than some big professional studios but not like sears ect... i wish I could have told you about the 9.95deal. Oh and you can only get that package once every 3 months. and don't you love the way they tempt you with showing you all the pics of your baby and make you narrow it down. ugh!! so mean!!!
