With that said, you can imagine the pressure I felt after the holidays were over when I realized that I had 2 weeks to find invites and mail them for Aubriella's party! I didn't even have a concrete theme! I found invites I looooved but they were about $1.25 a piece and needing 45 of them didn't go over to well. Believe it or not I "settled" for some 44 cent ones from Walmart. At the time I didn't think they were the right style, but after the party came together I realized they were perfect.
Ok, hard part done, card picked...now we just need a picture. Wow! I forgot how hard it is to stage a picture of a very active girl. I've been singing since then my made up song "How do you take a picture of Aubriella?" (to the Sound of Music tune How do You Solve a Problem like Maria). It is like trying to catch a wave upon the sand, holding a moonbeam in your hand, catching a cloud and pinning it down...
Thought you might want to laugh with me some of the outtakes. I'm sure Aubriella will love these someday. Keep in mind these were taken over the course of a couple of days.
Clearly outside was too distracting. All she wanted to do was run around! We tried her chair outside and that didn't last.
So we moved inside.
I actually got this cute one inside, but her diaper was a little distracting. I tried to fix her skirt, but she took off....and hid inside her tent!
Not happy to come out of her tent!
Very not happy!
Ok lets call it a day!
Day 2
I had to chase her down after every shot! Looks like she is dancing, but just trying to run away I think.
Trying to get her to smile. I was singing to her and she's doing the "mark it with a B"
She's off again!
Not her fault in this one, camera setting too dark.
Can you see how messy her hair is getting from all the chasing and wrangling her back in the chair?
Believe it or not, this is the winner!
Not posed, taken as a joke over the stair banister, distracting tile and carpet... but that is 100% my little girl!
