In Vincent, there is a local couple who take Easter portraits of children and babies with live baby animals. This year, Ashley and I decided we were going to take Alston and Ava Reese. I had seen previous years’ portraits, and they were very sweet, so it seemed like a really good idea. It was supposed to be relatively inexpensive, so I figured I could squeeze it in under my budget. Boy- were we wrong. The whole situation was not good. 6 month old babies, baby lambs and rabbits, and fake greenery on hay bales don’t really make for a good combination. Alston wanted to eat the fake grass and the hay bales, the lamb wanted to suck on his chubby little fingers (because he thought it was a bottle) and the rabbits were very excited and pooed everywhere. Terrible. So, Ashley & I decided to take our own Easter portraits. I think they turned out great. And its much less stressful because I wasn’t worried about someone getting frustrated with my child. I’m posting a few of my favorites, but only of Alston. I haven’t given Ashley here copy of the pictures yet, so I want her to be able to post her pictures of Ava Reese first. I don’t want to ruin the surprise!
Alston wanted to eat the bark…
See his little ornery grin?
I gave him a flower…
…and he tried to eat it too.
Alston & Ava Reese holding hands…
Rolling around…
We had a visitor… see the goose?
He looks just like his daddy…
If you click the picture, you can see his little tooth!
Another daddy face…
Alston is so cute! I cant believe how much he has grown! I know ya’ll are proud.
