Ready (or Not)...

Before Lola was born, we discussed getting professional newborn photos taken once she made her grand entrance.

After she arrived, I begun diligently researching photographers who specialize in immortalizing that fleeting newborn goodness.

Then the hospital bills started to roll in.

So instead of paying someone else to make our already gorgeous daughter look even more gorgeous, we packed up the camera and headed to Grandma Cyndi's world famous garden.

It started out nice enough. Lola kicked things off with her "pursed lips among the pumpkins" pose...



Next, she gave us her best "Splash Mountain" expression...



Unfortunately the "Splash Mountain" fun face turned into the "Why am I laying on the concrete outside?" scream...



We quickly moved on to our next set. Lola pulled out her flirting skills when she looked up and saw the grass hanging above her...



Flirtation quickly turned to hunger...



And hunger led to terror...



Naturally, we moved from the terrifying grass to the flowers.



Things were going well until Lola decided she wanted to eat the flowers.



Bush Baby...



Bush Baby attempting to eat the bushes...



The photo shoot came to an abrupt end once we noticed the horrible rash that began to spread across our model's little body. That's what you get for trying to munch on shrubbery.

We may have to leave this to the professionals.
