We did TWO family photo shoots this year - not because we wanted to - because our photographer had a camera glitch during the first one and the pictures turned out way low quality. Funny thing about the outdoor shoot was that when we got to the park there were actual Native Americans in the park, with headbands, incense, drums, etc teaching their small children how to dance. Only in NM would we be dressed and Indians and end up at a park with Native Americans teaching their children the real arts. When we changed into our costumes we beelined for the opposite end of the park!
In the end it was OK we had to do a re-shoot because we realized with the first shoot that even a little bit of breeze made our red Indian feathers a bit hard to manage. So for our "costume shoot" we went to his studio. The kids ate it up! Kirra would go back and model in that studio any day!
We had to do some convincing (just like every other year) to get the boys on board with our family theme idea. It was more difficult this year to pick a theme since I do NOT make our costumes - we had to find something we could buy that would fit my pregnant belly. We found the Indian idea online and went about talking it up to the boys. This year once I told them I'd buy bow and arrows to go with their costumes there were in!
