Every year, GG and I like to get the kids birthday pictures done at Portrait Innovations. I used to go lots when they were younger, but Grace and Everly both went through phases of not liking the experience, so I had not done much. Plus, the company changed some things and you got less pictures and the photographers were not always as good. So, we hadn't been since the year before. Also, the store here in College Station closed down. However, there was one in Houston so I decided we would do it one more year and GG and I loaded the kids up, while she was in town, and took them in. Well, we got some okay photos, but mostly I was annoyed. The guy did not do a great job and they tried to charge us for stuff we didn't want and it was just frustrating. So, we have made ourselves promise NO MORE PORTRAIT INNOVATIONS! It was just always fun to get cute pictures and get them right away. Oh well! Here is what we got anyways.
As you can see, we always try to get some kind of photo of what they are into at that time, but we just didn't have any luck! They always want to put my kids on white backgrounds, which doesn't always work - my kids have light skin! And they sometimes want to use props or chairs we don't want or have used before. And they always think they get such great smiles of them when sometimes, they are just not. But, these are cute enough for the last Portrait Innovations hurrah!
