A whole lot of sugar!

At 4pm this afternoon, we pulled into a parking lot in Deep Ellum for our photo session with Jen. After weeks of anxiety ridden shopping for the perfect outfit for Maggie, I was ready to go. My solution--bring a mobile closet! I had options, but I don't have the eye for putting things together. I had twelve outfits, three pairs of shoes, and five different bows for her hair. Would I have combined rainboots, a tutu, and a shirt that most definitely matches a different skirt all together? No, I wouldn't. Did I think my child was TO DIE FOR dressed in her tutu, rainboots, and shirt? Oh yeah, I did. Simply delicious, I tell you. I could've just eaten her up.

There was no love for Mama during the session. For Daddy, she clutched his face and planted a giant kiss with a look of complete adoration and love. When Jen suggested I pop in the shot to hug them both, she screamed, pushed me away, and refused to look at the camera. She hugged him. She ran from me. Poor Mama!

We brought the potty. I had the plan to have it in the car, and use it when necessary during our stops at the perfect urban backdrops (bright blue brick walls, white doorways, pink and teal doors, etc). I just knew it was the perfect plan. Maggie didn't. The instant she was placed on a potty inside her car, she made it clear that she was having NONE OF THAT! She cried and yelled "NO POTTY!!" So, in an effort to not ruin the session before it began, we conceded and threw on the diaper. Let me tell you--the child was very happy to switch back to her panties when the session was over and we were safely at the CPK bathroom at dinner. So happy that she had to use that potty three times during my dinner. Oh fun. Oh, and yes, we did go to dinner still dressed in the tutu and rainboots! Precious!

I can't WAIT to see the final products of her photo session today. I couldn't be more pleased that I have someone with the caliber of talent of Jen Weintraub to capture my sweet, precocious little Munchie. Thank you, Jen, for your patience and love to our Maggie. You're the best! Thank you my sweet sugar baby--We're so lucky to have you in our life.

Be on the lookout for our Scott session with Sugar Photography (no pressure, Jen, none whatsoever!!). Coming soon!!
