Photo Travails

It turns out that you aren't allowed to scan professional portraits taken of you so we had to do the next best thing, and Marilu just took a photo of the photos we had done this past weekend, and we'll be using one of those as our Christmas card thingamajig. It's kind of stupid really since we paid for the portraits and we want to put one of the photos in one of those glossy things you put up on your fridge. However, we didn't like any of the styles they had at the place we took the photos so we were going to have them done at another location since they had better options. Well, after going to three different places today, none of them would scan the photos for Marilu since they are supposedly copyrighted. Inane and moronic, I must say, especially considering the fact that we're talking about some low-budget supermarket photo center.

Marilu's going to try at Staples tomorrow since I think they may have a business center that will allow you to scan your own photos and then we won't worry about the photo Nazis coming down on us with all their might. If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what we'll do since Canada (or at least this area of it) has nothing similar to Kinko's, which I know for sure lets you do everything yourself.

As I mentioned above, we're using picture of the pictures on our official cards so hopefully they will come out okay. I'm not going to post the family portrait since that'll ruin the surprise for those of you who get the picture from us via mail, but I will show the other two we had done of Lucas in the same session. The first one was a "serious" shot, and I think it came out pretty well.

The second one was a joke shot. I mean, she was trying to get a serious shot, but when we saw it, we just had to have it. You'll see what I mean below. His expression is priceless.



Finally, here's a picture I took of him in his swing from yesterday. Today's theme must be expressions since I think he's looking very devious here.
