Photo Shoot

Quincy had his “formal” 6-month photo taken up in Rochester last Wednesday – his actual 6-month birthday. As you may recall from an earlier post, the first photo shoot at a J.C. Penny did not go so well. We were determined to make this one work.

We drove up to the city nice and early, getting there around 9am. We went to Brueggers’s Bagel in order to feed Quincy and to get a bite to eat for ourselves. I was pleasantly surprised at how smoothly everything went. Dara had brought about 5 outfits for him just in case he developed a case of chronic vomitting – fortunately that did not happen.

We actually had to wait in the entryway of the J.C. Penny because it didn’t open until 10am, which was also the time of the appointment. There was one gentleman working, and unlike the last time, he was very competent and experienced. I was the designated holder for the poses when Quincy was sitting up. Dara was the designated smiler-getter. A lot of nice pictures were taken and we picked a variety for purchase. It was quite a contrast from his 3 month picture when he was not happy and would not smile. We will be heading back up to Rochester in early March to pick them up and then we’ll be taking orders. 🙂
