Another One Of Those Parenting Milestones
The mall photo studio. Tori was an angel. But holy fuck, it was a madhouse. My heart goes out to you folks with more than one child that try to get photos taken at places like this. But look how cute she is! And yes, that is my arm (they cropped it out of the print, and I photoshopped it out of my version, but for you guys? I left it in. Cause I'm nice like that). For the full set, go here. By the way--the photographer? Due to give birth in THREE WEEKS. She is a SUPERHERO.





OMG! I haven't left a comment in forever, but I have to say, how freaking adorable is she?!?!

I'm all in favor of the mall photo shoots. The cutest pictures come out of them, damn it! We got our Sears flyer in the mail the other day and I told hubby we had to do this with our sweetpea. He said, really? My response - of course! I can hardly wait. Oh, I am having images already.... I think we should do the multicultural Hannukah/Christmas setting, send them out and piss off half our relatives;)
Well, your mall experience was certainly a success. That has to be one of the cutest pictures of Tori ever. That smile.....

AWWWWWW shes ADORABLE! what a great group of pics... when my son was her age and we did the studio shots he was so great but the line was so long that by the time it was his turn he was mad and hungry so all shots are with scowles and tears...
love the pics!

I love the scrunched up smile, very cute!
Was your arm there to steady her, or was she trying to bugger off with the present?

Cuteness overload!

Way cute!
We went once to take pictures of my daughter and her best friend (4 months younger) when they both were around 2. Man, it was a long sitting, but the pictures? Yes, completely worth it.

She's adorable, that's for sure.
For me? It's not at all fun. Wrangling two two-year-olds = stress to the max. It's more necessary for the grandparents and such.

She is adorable! When she grins, I think she looks just like you!

How stinkin' adorable is that smile of hers! Great pic!
We just took our youngest (18months) to JCP's this last week. I came away with 4 shots, thankfully they were all cute so I did have some options. ;)

So cute!

OMG - she is adorable! I love, love, love that crinkled up nose and that big ol' smile.
We didn't brave the mall for photos this year becuase, quite frankly, there are not enough Xanax in the world for me to do that this time of year with my 5 year old and my 1 year old.

but... but... but....
She's so BIG!
When the FUCK did that happen? dude. make it stop. Why is she growing up so fast??? OMG.
You have the cutest baby EVER! EVER! seriously.

OMG- I MAY DIE FROM THE CUTENESS!!!
She looks like she responded really well to the photographer. We don't always get that lucky-sometimes Paddy likes them sometimes not!

Well, I don't know what happend but it didn't take my comment.
OMG-I MAY DIE FROM THE CUTENESS!!
She looks like she responded well to the photographer. Sometimes Paddy does and sometimes not so much. She is just precious!

Awwww...this made my day. That expression and the boots and the tights are too cute. She is a doll.

What a great shot! That has to be the most natural smile on a child in a posed photo I've ever seen. And of course, she looks absolutely adorable. :)
