Okay, Have I gone Mad???

I've totally been slacking on booking an appointment for Emily's Christmas photos. To be honest with you I'm dreading it, since we took her twice for her 1st birthday photos and never got anything that we liked.

But I am determined to get good photos....so I just called around and made 3 appointments with 3 places....1 with Sear's, 1 with JC Penny, and 1 with Target...

I figure that if the first goes badly, I can just try the next, etc etc.

I think I'm crazy. Do you?

P.S. I am also trying to talk DH into going to Fortunoff's to take pics there like others have done. He thinks that's even crazier yet I think it's Brilliant!! Where is this fortunoff that others ahve gone to?

Re: Okay, Have I gone Mad???

Im with you-

I cant take him for professional photos... he cries the entire time- or just refuses to smile... Besides Im simply so sick of paying for pictures that I could take myself and come out 100x's better....

So there ya go- Im taking them myself and having DH design something in photoshop (so if im lucky, people should have our xmas cards by new years )

I cant get him to sit still so every pic I take is of the side of his face... Im getting so fustrated...

Re: Okay, Have I gone Mad???

I dont think you're crazy. You don't to buy pics from each place, Maybe you'll get lucky and love the first set of pics.

As for Fortunoff, I dragged my DH there this weekend to the one in Westbury. I was very crowded but nicely decorated. There was a beautiful gold/snowy display as you enter the holiday area that would be great for pics (for independent sitters and standers).

I have done the same. I went to Sears one year & after 2 1/2 hours we left with nothing. So, I called JC Penney & said if you get 1 pic I will be happy. They got 6 great ones.


I just took them today & they came out very cute. But, I am thinking of trying to take my own as well.
