Zoe's school pictures came home yesterday. They are horrible. We got up early that morning and curled her hair. I pinned her bangs to the side in a beautiful, festive little barrette that matched her dress. She approved of her look and promised me great things before stepping on the bus. Here is the picture I took of her before she got on the bus that morning.
Her teacher said she was glad I got a picture of her before she left because she refused to look at the photographer. Yesterday, the long-awaited pictures came home. Yeah. They make you pay in advance and I am totally sending them back. They have a retake day and I am hoping for better, but if I am still not satisfied, they refund your money. I see a refund and an unhappy mom with no preschool picture in my future.
Exactly four years ago, Noah did the same thing. Same kid, same attitude. The only difference, was that Noah's happened to be funny and I purchased them anyway.
Here they are side-by-side for comparison, grins and giggles:(strangely coincidental they are both wearing red)
This is my life.
They get this from their father's side, because I am smiling in all of my photos. Here are my preschool photos for evidence:
3year old preschool
4 year old preschool
You draw your own conclusion.
Totally their father's fault.
I think it's cute that they have the same expression. I seriously think you should keep them! They are not bad. Lyla does the same thing. She will not smile for professional photographers. She will for us, IF she is in the mood. Frustrating!!!
ReplyDeleteHahah awww.. I kind of like photos like that. It's definitely something to pull out in the future and show them - look what you were like! :p
ReplyDeleteDO NOT SEND THAT BABY'S PICTURES BACK! They are PERFECT!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Totally shows personality and individualism (if that's even a word).
Especially since Noah has some kinda like it...it's a perfect pair!
You can't...you just can't. You HAVE to keep them. They are just tooooo cute!!
Man she looks so much like you. Makes my heart smile.
ReplyDeleteJennifer, do you know how much you will love having those irritable little pics of that spitfire when she's older? My daughter and I just put a montage of her photos together and how we laughed (though, honestly, she's the most irritable 12-year-old you could imagine) at the early picture of her having just finished SOBBING right before the picture snapped! Also, when they get married you can use this stuff to embarrass them, right? :)
ReplyDeleteI've got to tell you! I love the pic of her! I think it is priceless. My girls always look like someone else's kid in their photos but that is what I like about them. They crack me up and the rest of my family too. The photos you posted do the same. I think they are just great!
ReplyDeleteOh you must keep the picture of her. At least until her 18th birthday or when she gets married you can show it to everyone. Younglings pre-school pictures were adorable (will have to post them on my blog come to think of it). However the price wasn't. £70 it set me back! So expensive but like everyone said you cherish these pics for ever. No matter how they come out :-) xx
