A few weeks ago, I came out of the closet as a
kiddie portrait addict, and pointed out that school pictures really have no chance at all of turning out well because mothers aren't present for them. And now I will present my evidence in the form of Audrey's and BFF Grace Anne's school pictures.
To the left is Exhibit A. Note the unfluffed hair and bad attitude that screams "I hate having my picture taken and no one is even trying to get me to smile. Where's the crazy lady that's usually here spazzing out and singing the Hot Dog Song from
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse like I'm fucking 18 months old?"
Audrey has a lot to learn about posing for the camera. And Grace Anne is just the gal to school her. I present you my favorite school picture of all time....drum roll....BAM!
Grace Anne's mother would like me to point out that she did not know it was picture day that day. Else Grace Anne would have been sporting her finest tank top and scrunchie. She gave me the password to the website where you can order copies and play with different backgrounds, and I've been doing practically nothing else since. It's amazing how the context changes with various backgrounds....
