Leland, camera-shy? Not.

We decided to get some studio pics done for Leland, considering he's almost five months and because- well everyone else was doing it.

In my opinion, studio pics are sort of a rip off. You're definitely overpaying for "picture packages" that you have no choice but to buy. Everyone has 6.0 Mp+ camera nowadays and all it takes is that, a few bedsheets (different colors, if you'd like), good lighting and Costco.com and you're good to go.

I even know a few people who have Digital SLR's who are willing to take the pics for free. An even better camera!

But, to the studio Mommy went, with Leland. And we paid. And really, they turned out pretty good. Luckily it all kind of worked out really well. Parents know- babies have great days, good days, and just bad days. Mommy set it up so it would be a great day for Leland.

- Good sleep the night before: CHECK
- Day of morning "care package" of a little playtime, Mommy's milk (from the source of course), and some more playtime: CHECK

Leland was ready. Of course, he ended up napping on the way to Babies R' Us where the studio is located, but he woke up ready to go. Check out these pics:

Its amazing how aware this kid is. He knows if we're taking a picture of him. Group pictures are a little different. But he knows when its a solo pic and he makes sure you get a good shot.

So we ended up paying for a package but we also received a CD with the full size pics in there. Even the lady taking the pictures suggested not splurging too much on a package and just printing our own elsewhere. And that we did. Thank you Costco!
