The Power of Photoshop

We had Caroline's official 1 year photo session with our favorite family photographer, Gia Guidry, a couple of weeks ago.  I wish I could say that Caroline was a photographer's dream, but alas, my friends, she was not.  She started running fever a couple of days before the session and that fever turned into a full blown body rash complete with red spots and splotches.  It turns out she was having a reaction to the MMR shot she received a week prior.  We went ahead with the scheduled session and miraculously Gia was able to get some good shots.  AND, she was able to photoshop out the lovely rash that encompassed Caroline's upper half.

Here are some of our favorites (all copyrighted to Gia!):

This is pretty much how she acted the entire session.  She was a cranky pants that morning...

If you're thinking she looks a little stoned, you're right!  She had enough motrin in her to stomp out any fever.

Total Toot Twelve Months

I was hoping that our last monthly photo session would be our best, but my hopes and dreams were crushed!  Caroline was a total toot for her last session in her big, comfy chair.  In fact, it took two different tries and some help from Dad to get her to stay in the chair for more than a few seconds.  She's figured out how to get down so there's no keeping her in it now!

Here are some attempted pictures from her 12 month session:

The sticker didn't last very long!  Next time, I'm getting iron on stickers that don't peel off.

She got down and decided to half smile from the ground.

Just checking out the neighbors.  Wondering what Ashlyn's doing.

Baby booties!

We got Dad in on the fun and he brought the smiles!
