Went on for studio shots with the baby today. The kid who shot us was evidently a trainee, so it was a little more grueling that in the past, but the shots are adorable. I'm still very happy with the quality, price, and service at this studio. It's a chain, and fairly in the box, pre-packaged stuff, but honestly we're not in a position to hire a pro, and I shouldn't be the one trying to shoot these. Taking a hands-off approach.

Also went in to UMSL and finished up the lantern for the back yard. I still need to find or make a stand, but the lantern itself is lovely - if it makes it through the fire.
