portraits

confession time....

i really stink at getting professional portraits of my kids. it causes me "mommy guilt."  i have a lot of excuses  valid reasons for my failure in this area of mommyhood.   it's pricey.  it's not necessary for survival. it stresses me out to have to figure out a cute outfit, hair done, well napped, well fed all coordinated together. 

i thought maybe with miss baby i would be better about it. 

i thought wrong.  i have only had her pictures taken "professionally" one time.  i took her pictures myself at 6 months and last month i decided i had to try again. i don't think i got the one  (that illusive perfect shot)  i am far from a great photographer and am pretty clueless when it comes to my camera (i even read the manual!) but still some cute shots (after all she IS a pretty cute baby, just sayin)

 

so is it worth it?  do i suck it up and go in and get some portraits taken? do i let it go and try to let go of the mommy guilt?
