We waited for the photographer to show up at 10am and get everything set up, then we walked into the doorway of the actual studio, and Scout totally had a meltdown. She was just beside herself with tears and cries and shouts of "I wanna go home." But wanna and home were both like 5 syllables; you know how they get elongated during times of crying?
I'm thinking to myself, I'll get her to calm down and go in there. I mean we are here and dressed. I won't let this beat me. But, no. I failed. The whole thing was one huge pile of frustration. I was actually really mad about it when we left. She was crying, "I want chocolate milk" as we walked to the car. I was saying, "You aren't getting chocolate milk. I told you that was IF you took the pictures!" Yeah, I did.
So, I called Scott and vented to him what happened. He met me at the park to squeeze out a few mementos of this day, and even at the park she only made it through two pics before crying to the tune of, "I want cameraaaaa." I just put her back in the car and drove directly home. I wanted to leave her in the tulips.
And, I present to you....pictures that don't say a thousand words....

Oh man, I feel your pain. I didn't have an appointment with a real photographer or pretty hair to "do" or a beautiful dress to put on and our Easter pictures were SO frustrating!!
Don't you love how you try to negotiate with your two-year-old and it backfires?
Anyway, I think the tulip pics DO say a thousand words. Nice Easter salvage:)
The tulips are great! You would never know from these pics that she had a major meltdown.
p.s. fabulous job on the hair and dress...she looks adorable
