Picture Day

Today I took baby Evan to JCPenney for his first real photo shoot. I must have had too high of expectations, both that Evan would smile lots and that the photographer would be amazing. I came home disappointed. Baby Evan was bathed, rested and fed before he went, but he just wasn't in a smiley mood. I think he was a little "shy" about his strange surroundings and the strange lady talking to him. I was so sad! He's usually such a smiler and he just wouldn't do his huge smiles- just a few half smiles.
Okay, so I realize that's life, right- that your kids won't look perfect for their pictures, so get over it. But I was mostly disappointed in the photographer. She was nice, but I expected her to know some good poses for babies and she just didn't impress me. I don't know- she just seemed new at the whole idea and I wanted/expected someone who said, "okay, now do this, let's have him in this position..." I didn't think she did a very good job. So all in all, I'm disapppointed and there weren't any desperately to-die-for pics. I ordered a few still but man, I guess I just thought they'd be amazing. Has anyone else had similar experiences with professional pics? Probably it could have been worse- he could have been screaming.
After all the talk of pics, this post has no pictures considering I don't have them yet. Sorry.
