WalMart pix
I took Quinn to WalMart today to get her picture taken. I'd like to go somewhere really nice and funky fresh for her one-year picture, but while I ponder where and when and how that will happen, I decided to take WalMart up on their $6.88 deal. A free sitting and a million pictures for that low price? Sign us up!
Well, it wasn't quite as fabulous as it sounds. What happens is you pick a backdrop (I picked black) and then the camera person takes a picture. If you like it, she stops and that's what you get. If you want her to keep going, she does, but you can't go back and take an earlier pose. You have to just forge ahead. It was all a big crapshoot--would Quinn do something really cute in future pictures? Or should I just take this one where she's smiling, yet has her arms positioned like a robot?
Anyway, here's what we ended up with:
Of course, after I picked this as my picture, she took 6 more. I can buy any of those, but it will cost a million dollars more.
Then I decided to give them $7 more to get "digital prints" of all 7 poses, which I could e-mail to family and friends or use as a screensaver. (Whoopie!) Will you please look at the crappy quality that $7 bought me?
Again with the robot arms:
This is her dolly Molly. Love the dolly Molly! Hug her! Pat her! Kiss dolly Molly!
This is Quinn thinking about how she doesn't have very many teeth.
At first I was all "No way, backdrops are cheesy!" Then I saw these and said, "Oh! I love the backdrops!" I'm such a sucker.
Ahhh well. She's a pretty bunny no matter how her arms are positioned.

I got Andrew's 9 month pic's done at Babies R Us in Vernon Hills. Awesome!!!! No appointment necessary, you get the pictures in 10 minutes. I got 12 pages of pic's for $120. That includes montages, borders, his name printed on the pic's. All kinds of back drops and props - tons. Way better than the Picture People.

Nice duds! I think in that last pic Quinn is threatening to bite. Someone, quick! Get Quinn out of the street! Oh, wait, that's just a backdrop.
