The profits from the portraits were being donated to a local animal society, so we were happy to pay ten dollars for a picture that we'd be able to keep for a long time. You might recall that Santa left us feeling a bit...underwhelmed...by his demeanor. They had a high tech professional camera that took dozens of pictures in a matter of seconds. After they were done, we knew the first batch of pictures was no good. We repositioned the dogs, got Bunny and Morgan to sit with Blue standing behind them and everyone looking at the camera. I was really excited after that batch of pictures. They told us they'd choose the best one and print it.
A couple of weeks later, I was in the dog bakery picking up a few things and they were distributing the photos to customers. I was glad I was in there since we'd thought they were being mailed to us after we had to fill out our mailing info. The girl put the picture in a separate bag and I took it out to the car to look at it.
That was the best picture of the bunch? Good heaven! Morgan's tongue is over her nose, Blueberry isn't even looking at the camera and Bunny is standing. Santa's eyes are closed and he looks like he's been out on a bender! I know that picture was from the first bad batch.
I guess I can't complain much. Hopefully most of the money went to charity. I'd hate to see the rest of the pictures if that was the best one, though. At least the snowman was smiling! Hopefully it at least gives you all a smile on a Monday morning.
