P had a sudden impulse to have a family photoshoot.. I think he was just staring at the kids one day, thought to himself "they are growing so fast", and suggested we go have some photos taken because "that's all we will have to look back on when we grow old and they leave us.." Haha.
So the Chairman comes up with the proposal and the Family CEO (i.e. ME) executes the plan. I looked around some websites, got a few quotes and found that the professionals look really good, but charge exorbitant (in my opinion) prices for the return of all images. And so we looked out for deal coupons. What a lifesaver. We bought 2 coupons, one for an indoor shoot and one for outdoors. I timed the shoots a month apart, to hedge against bad hair days / bad skin week / illness etc.
The indoor shoot was not great.. the photographer had no initiative, no novel suggestions, and kept harping on the fact that Calista refused to smile, even though we told him we were fine with her being her usual moody self in the pictures. We managed to get a few decent photos though, and P thought that it was time well spent. We had fun bonding during the 1 hour, and still had photos to show for it! 
More photos from the outdoor shoot coming up in 4 weeks!
