I love old baby pictures, don't you? These two have been riding around in an envelope my purse for a few months now. I've been meaning to take them out and move them to a safer place, and telling myself that if I wasn't going to do that, maybe I didn't need them as much as I thought I did one the day I bought them.
I pulled them out this morning and now I remember why I absolutely had to have them. At the time I bought them I didn't have a plan, but one is starting to form.
I love the look on this baby's face and the
not-hidden-mother.
And the way this mother seems to be trying so hard to hold the perfect expression and the baby is just perfect. It just amazes me that they pulled off this wonderful shot.
On the back of this picture is even more fun stuff:

The negative of this photograph is preserved for future orders and can be reduced for the smallest locket or enlarged up to life size and finished in crayon or water color
Sounds kinda like all of those displays at the one hour photo counter, doesn't it? Only much more romantic and appealing.
