I decided to post my heinous Alice photos up here. One reason is because this story is kind of funny. I was really going for the natural look, and I wanted a close, affectionate familial pose. Imagine one where Suk and I hug Ailin close between us, and only our upper torsos and heads appear in the photo.
The other reason is I am so NOT putting any of these photos in our Christmas letter, so I might as well put them somewhere. They are barely passing inspection for wasting a page in her scrapbook album. Actually, one copy is supposed to be for MIL. And we got an 8x10 for my mom. I guess she will have to suffer looking that for a whole year or until we get another one made.
I have to say, in defense of Ailin, that she is so much cuter in real life. Without sounding like a stage mother or anything of the sort, she is the type of kid who always smiles these big wide, toothy grins. At Studio Alice, she did not crack one smile which was very out of character for her. Even that idiotic Disneyland- type photographer could not get her to smile with all her little "tricks and toys." I certainly don't want my Christmas card recipients to think that Ailin always looks this confused.

They are cute photos!! I think they look great. I know you're disappointed with Studio Alice, but I'm glad you posted the pictures here! I would always be wondering. :)
I actually like your pics, particuarly those of Aileen! She's so cute. Thanks for posting!
i love the one with her in a chair. she's a cutie!
I think the chair picture of Ailin is a winner. You could send that to people without feeling bad about it… God, is she a cute little button!
Merry Christmas from across the pond!
I think she looks cute.
Which Studio Alice did you use? Some of them have the studio open where every weirdo walking by can take a look at you getting your picture done. I think that causes a lot of little kids freeze up.
Also, some ages are just bad/difficult for kids to get pictures. My daughter was great at 1,3, and 4. Two though was a nightmare. The best pictures of her that year are the ones in which she isn't outright crying, you know.
