Photo Shoot

When Zach and Lauren learned that Lolli had already gained back her birth weight (plus an ounce) by Friday, September 28, they hurried to get her "newborn" pictures taken. They booked an appointment at The Picture People in Greenwood Park Mall for that afternoon.

Upon arriving at the mall, Lauren and Zach struggled for a few minutes to figure out how to use Lolli's stroller. Once that battle had been once, they proceeded inside to the picture place. The photographer led everyone back to the set and asked Zach to strip Lolli down to her diaper. Well of course she'd peed so Lauren changed her in the bathroom. Then the photog took several shots before everyone realized Lolli was going to need to be fed before any more good shots could be taken.

Lauren and Lolli went behind a big black curtain and Lolli munched for about 6 or 7 minutes before they went to try some more pictures. But Lolli was STILL too hungry to focus so she and Lauren had to go eat some more. While Lauren was feeding Lolli, a young female employee opened the curtain and must have been SHOCKED to see someone breastfeeding because she exclaimed, "Oh My God!" and ran away. Haha!

Finally Lolli got full and the shoot resumed. Lolli was a pretty good model except that when it was time for the full nudey shots, she peed all over the blanket! Luckily the photographer had thought to put a plastic bag under the blanket so the bean bag didn't get wet! There were about 20 good pictures of little Lolli. Lauren and Zach narrowed it down to 3 and ordered prints of those. Everyone says Lolli is beautiful!
