Last night we went to pick up portraits of Maxfield and Wyatt that we had done at Sears Portrait place.
As with most portrait places there were pictures of little kids in cute poses all over the place, a little girl with giant flower props, a little boy in an oversized wagon, a baby sleeping on bed of feathers etc. etc. There were family portraits, mom and dad and the three kids all wearing the same outfit, white shirts and denim (although the father's head was rather large). And then there was the picture of the Calvin Klein Model-esque fathers, with no shirts holding their baby (Kind of like this).
I pointed to one of the Calvin Klein type of photos of a man laying on his stomach, no shirt, super tan, and cut like a tri-athlete. On his back was a baby, Buddha like and all pale and pudgy and cute. I said to Lauren, “Do you remember when I looked like that?”
Without missing a beat she replied, “What, the chubby one on top?”

Your wife and I should definately have a cup of coffee. We would have a blast.
That is SO AWESOME :) Lauren rocks.
So, uh, since you all are local now, let me know if you want me to come out and do a freebie photo session sometime...like in the fall after the wee one arrives and I get some energy back :)
I think I would really like your wife! Not that I do the same things to my less-than-svelte husband or anything.
Lauren definitely rocks!! But you make it so easy!!
You kind of set yourself up for these comments, ya know? Hats off to Lauren, though, for taking advantage of them.
Oh LORD I had that L'Enfant poster on my wall in college.
Hee hee hee...
Who really goes to Sears to pose for a photo like that??
And yeah, I think every girl on my floor in college had that poaster up as well.
Hilarious post!
Props in professional pictures drive me crazy. I just want a photo of my child, is that so much to ask?
OMG, your wife sounds like me.
Carrie
Ha ha, I think I like your wife!!!
Lummy! Sharp as a tack! Whose genes?
Cheers
Lauren is AWSOME! I LOVE that girl!
Stacie
Hee, love Lauren.
If I'd seen the portrait, I would have thought, "Dude needs to start wearing sunscreen."
Lauren needs her own blog! HAHA! Sears huh? Every time I hear "Sears" I think of the catalog from like 1976 that my Mom-Mom in South Philly STILL HAS in her basement because one of the pages where a guy is in underwear, you can plainly see a testicle hanging out. I shit you not.
That girl of yours makes me laugh!
I can't stop laughing-can't breathe! I love your wife.
What? You're NOT cut like a triathelete?
So what you are saying is, you saw yourself some man nipples...good for you!
I love Lauren.
I agree--you totally set yourself up for these things, you know.
I see Mainline Mom already beat me to it, but I'd be happy to come out and do a photo session too. Anytime--just let me know.
Me too. I am so there. Can we all three take pictures?
You're not against male wet t-shirt contest-esque photos, are you?
Oooo...that had to burn! ha!
The white shirt and denim with the really large head is funny. I am so glad the someone mentioned a testicle hanging out to distract me.
Priceless!
