But we tried for one night.
The company that we do life insurance with asked, 'Hey, do you want to do some modeling for us and we'll give you a hundred bucks?!" Without really thinking about it and only hearing that an hour of our time would earn us a few dollars, I said, "uuuhh, sure."
They said it would take an hour. So, of course, I scheduled an outing at 7pm downtown with a dating couple at a swanky restaurant.
Well, the evening did not go very smoothly, to say the least!
Our sitter got sick at 2pm, so I scrabbled and was able to find my wonderful brother Travis to help out. We were suppose to start taking pictures at 5pm. We got there at 5:45 because of a snowstorm we were in. We didn't bring great clothes or many outfits to choose from(my fault). Then they had to put make-up on everyone which is always interesting and time consuming with kids. The 'shoot' ends up taking 2.5 hours! Jude who is usually so smiley didn't know what in the heck was going on and just stared at the bright lights. Faustina...well, she probably didn't smile at all. Mike and I tried, but, let's be honest, it was all in vain because we were pathetic! We tried to look 'worried' 'stern' 'excited' but then just started laughing at each other because it was so silly. The whole time I was sweating because I knew we would be late for dinner.
And we were late. And, actually, we didn't end up going. And the couple we were suppose to meet was not happy with us!! But, we got some pizza and enjoyed it with Travis and the kids went to bed pretty early. It ended up as it should. But, boy, what a fiasco of an evening it was. Everything that went wrong pretty much did. I was hoping they wouldn't use any of the pictures they took!
The one they picked may have been one of the very few decent ones. At any rate, they sent us a cd of the pictures and I got plenty of laughs out of them, we look ridiculous in them!
We will not be doing that again any time soon....! We'll keep photo shoots in the home.
