We've had problems with our daughter taking a decent school picture in the past. I guess we weren't the only ones and some parents complained so this year they tried something different. They took two separate poses of our little ones. That would surely increase your chance of getting a decent picture, right?
No. It just doubles the suck.
She brought home the proofs yesterday. In the first picture, Zoey has a fake smile plastered across her face. It almost looks like it's hurting her to smile (she must get that from me). But her tongue is in her mouth and her body's not freakishly contorted, so we're making some progress.
In the second picture, she looks great even though she's not smiling at all. I love this picture. There's just one slight problem.
I don't know if the photographer hiccupped at the last moment or if Zoey was merely trying to escape or if some kid kicked the tripod, but her entire right arm is chopped off in the picture. It's not even close to centered. Where's a good photographer when you need him?
Oh well. We'll still buy plenty of pictures.
But next year, I'm just keeping her home from school that day.
