that old little chair

So more with that little old chair. For the record, I love the decor of my parents living room - it is so nice! Like out of a catalog! By sheer chance, I had dressed Olivia that day in an outfit that coordinated with the room. Go me!

Now, I explained to Karens neighbor Mickey (who's baby I'll be posting photos of next) that Olivia photographs one of three ways.

One: perfectly fine. For me, these times are when she ignores the camera completely. I lean towards a candid style of portraits, and acting like the camera isn't there is the best way to get those.

Two: TERRIBLY! This is when she totally acts like she's two and half. Lots of "NOOOO!" or "NO WAY!!!" Lots of flailing, and throwing ones self on the floor. Typically I get nothing out of those shoots.

or Three: Cheesy! Olivia sees the camera, comes running too close to the lense, and yells "CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE!!!" I usually am not a fan of these pictures. But, when she's in that mode, it's easy to get her giggling, and those giggly photos look more natural.

Luckily, eventually Olivia pulled into a number three, and her and Haley posed with the chair.

Such a big girl

Olivia looks uncomfortable, but she loves her aunt to death!
