Ashley's 2nd year pics

Look at those eyelashes..still going strong!
Classic Ashley smile

So perfectly cute!!
Well here's few pics from our professional 2 year pics taken at JC Penny at Southtowne. Can I just say that now I remember why I never went back there after Ashley's 6 week pics. We went on a a Saturday and as I showed up they were already 45 minutes behind. I happened to run into a friend of mine who is scheduled ahead of me and still is waiting. Then she tells me she wants the barn background like me and Penny's told her as she showed up to her appointment that it was only available certain days of the week....now hold on just a sec. I scheduled my appointment online and it says nothing about that background being available on certain days. Not only that, when I scheduled I very specifically told them in the comments section which back ground I wanted (the barn).. Not only that but when they called to confirm they never said one word to me about my background not being available. So those of you that know me know that this was not going to fly and now I had my friend Trish on my side to back me up...her experience was just the same. As you can see we got our background but the photographers were super annoyed at having to spend 5 extra minutes changing the background...boo hoo. So we make it in for pics one hour after our scheduled time and Ash is just about to meltdown as it is close to lunch. We then have to wait another full hour before we get someone to help us view and pick our pics. Ash is really close to losing it at any moment and is touching EVERYTHING!! Then I go to check out and I had forgotten that Portrait club members do not get portrait sheets for $3.99, you must print the coupon off at home and bring it in to get that price. So I explained that I would come back later that afternoon with my coupon to re figure my order...$130 VS. $60 with the coupon. The girl helping me looked at me when I told her this and said..."seriously???" Do they really think I want to pay full price when all I have to do is go home and print out some dumb coupon to save 60% or more?? Needless to say this is why I prefer Kiddie Kandids even though their prices are way more expensive.

The pictures turned out cute!! Well I went back yesterday to get Colton's pictures done and they were not busy at all and they were still annoyed!! Why don't they get people in there that actually like what they are doing. It's a good thing our kids are so gosh darn cute that no matter how onery the photographers are-the pictures are cute
