Picture Perfect

Chloe and me in the car after our photo session


It was finally the day that we had been looking forward to since about December. It was picture day! Only there was one problem...the forecast was predicting rain and not just rain, but wind and storms. We were going into Indy to the Museum of Art back in their beautiful gardens. We were to start about 6pm at night to hopefully catch a beautiful sunset at the gardens. After the rain was coming down all day we finally called it off at 3pm and rescheduled for the next morning. Saturday morning's forecast was to be a bit cloudy, but no rain. So Saturday morning we woke up early and made our way to the gardens. We were hoping Chloe would sleep during the ride there, but of course she didn't. So we knew that there wasn't much time between the weather changing and Chloe's mood changing.

Once we got to the gardens I was so glad that we waited as the gardens were beautiful and we were somehow lucky enough to have a bit of sunshine. We were out in the gardens for about an hour and we had sunshine pretty much the entire time. The ground was wet, but all the flowers were blooming. The only thing not blooming was Chloe's smile. We tried everything to get her to smile, but as soon as that camera came up her curious face came on. Our photographer, Sara, does a lot of natural and playful shots so we did get some smiles, but in the individual and family shots it was not so easy.

It was a great day and we didn't know what to expect with the pictures, but I told Zach as long as we get a good one of all three of us, a good one of Zach and Chloe, a good one of me and Chloe and a good one of Chloe then it was well worth it. I was blown away when Sara sent us the finished product as all the photos were amazing! I can't believe how good they were and I was so glad we decided to stick it out and not give up because of the weather.
