Last weekend was somewhat busy with tons of laundry, grocery shopping, misc errands and Maeve's first photo session. Last October I bid and won a photo session and 8x10 photo from some photography shop in Amherst. It expired by April so figured with Maeve's 6 month anniversary around the corner, let's do this. I even got Ryan on board to make the jaunt out to Amherst. First, probably should have rescheduled with Maeve battling a bad cold, cough, and mucus back-up. Second, probably should have realized that based on the confusing and dated website that this place might not be the best. We made the trek in the snow with an adorable outfit from Aunt Kerry and Uncle Brendon ready to document (officially) our daughter. Looks can be deceiving, but the place was straight out of the 80s complete with a husband/wife team wearing matching 80s style clothes and calling each other "Babe" in every sentence. We got Maeve all set up and in her pretty dress and got underway. The husband was taking the photos and the wife helped with staging. Pattie, "wife", kept attempting to manuvuer Maeve on top of a table, sitting up against these wood blocks that were neither sturdy, nor comfortable. I told her that Maeve wasn't fully sitting up on her own yet, but then decided to ask if she was born pre-mature, as if thinking that was a reasonable answer to why the girl wouldn't stay still. I was frustrated with the whole situation, constant stopping to have me wipe drool off her face and Pattie's need to keep squeaking this absolutely annoying toy that did not make Maeve smile once. I'm all about supporting my local mom & pop shops, but plan on just taking Maeve's pictures myself from now on.
Here she is doing alittle tummy time.
