New Pictures!

We had a photo shoot at JC Penney's on Saturday. We were actually supposed to go in last Saturday, but that turned out to be the worst thing ever. I usually never have anything bad to say about their pictures or service but I about had it after last week's attempt. I had made an appointment for 10:50 and did so to work around nap schedules as the primary purpose was Jaxson's 18 month pictures. When we arrived, the studio was PACKED!! The gal at the front desk informed me that they were running 15 minutes behind and they would be with me shortly. I told them that wasn't a problem and waited... and waited... and waited. 40 minutes later they finally got us back there. Needless to say that Jaxson would not cooperate as it was right in the middle of his nap time so he was cranky and screaming. We got nothing. No pictures. I raised hell as it practically wasted our entire morning and we are only available for things like this on Saturdays as our Sundays are packed.

So we rescheduled for this past Saturday in hopes we'd have a better session. The morning started off with a cranky Jaxson which left my hopes of a good session low, but luckily he cooperated. We had to get creative to keep him cooperating and entertained as he had a short entertainment span but we got some good pictures and our photographer, Kemle, was really gracious in helping us capture some of his good candid moments as we couldn't get him to hold still. We even got some of the two boys together for fall as well as some of our whole family & some updated ones of just Aaron and I in honor of our upcoming anniversary since the most current ones we have are almost 3 years old. We couldn't get the boys to both hold still for their fall picture together, but with the help of some fake leaves & straw, we got a pretty good one of both boys. We tried to get more, but Jaxson just wanted to run around. Jayden, on the other hand, had a great time playing peek-a-boo with the fake straw so we got a cute picture of him too.

Here's a sneak preview of the pictures from our session! Enjoy!
