homeI have such a hard time taking a decent picture of Kayla lately; seriously! I have to snap what seems like 50 pictures just to get one or two that look nice. She has some aversion to looking at me/the camera and will keep her eyes down or to the side. Anywhere but where I want them to be! So I wasn't sure how this photo shoot was going to turn out.
The other thing I was worried about was Kayla's right eye. A few days before the trip Kayla had a cold, by the time we arrived in Chicago I think she had a sinus infection. It was bad. Her eye was constantly watering, she was rubbing it and there was a streak of redness from her eye down to her cheek. By Thur night her eye was a bit swollen. Lovely, just what we needed for a photo shoot for "Most Beautiful Eyes!" By late Friday afternoon it was starting to get a little better, but in some of these photos I can still tell her right eye was a little puffy; I'm just glad the photo shoot wasn't Thur night!
To say I was pleased is an understatement! The ladies were just awesome with the kids and I love how these photos came out! One lady (referring to herself as the child wrangler) did such a great job of keeping Kayla sitting still, focused, relaxed, and happy - which made for some natural smiling/laughing photos.
If we lived closer to NYC I would consider using these photos to put together a portfolio (hello, ToysRUs!)
We went to a children's museum earlier that day and forgot about the stamp on the front of her hand!
I think Lucas was looking quite dashing himself - little Mr GQ!
Prevent Blindness America used one of the photos for their donation page.
