backstage at the photo shoot

Backstage at the photo shoot during the cupcake carnage.

We did Sloane's first birthday photos today (a month early but at least the pix will be ready in time to send cards and stuff, right?) with Jodi from A Yummy Life. She's amazing. Even helped pick out some photo-worthy clothing options for photo-worthy-clothing challenged me.

Sloane was insanely good. Tolerated five costume changes without a fuss including headgear, in spite of the fact that she hadn't had a nap all day. Impressive! Tagg was really good too, courtesy of the balloons, and the bribe of a potential cupcake at the end of the shoot. He owed me one. Apparently he hit a little girl at the park today and got timeout. Finally starting to figure out that the "timeout" rule applies to everyone, not just his sister!

I bought a few outfits for the photos, brought every single headwear, headband, flower thing I could find, and bought a little bouquet of flowers, balloons and a dozen over-priced jumbo cupcakes for the photos. All totally worth it! I can't wait to see the final outcome!
