In an effort to keep things current around here, I updated the header photo for 3 Duffys. I love the old one, but since Luke was still bald and it shows us in Vancouver, it just wasn't a true picture of the 3 Duffys today.
The new shot is just about the only good photo resulting from a photo shoot we did with a professional photographer on Sunday. In most of the other shots Luke was crying and/or pouting. I guess he was overwhelmed by the photographer with his big camera and lights, because he spent the greater portion of the session acting very un-Luke-like. Keith and I were like "where's our smiley, happy toddler... and who's this guy?" And not to blame it all on Luke-- Keith and I were our usual photographically-challenged selves in many of the shots as well. But I fully expected that. And then some of the shots were a little too artsy for our liking.
There were a handful of nice shots, but since the photographer charges $87 for a digital copy of each photo, we won't be ordering many. I should get into the photography business!
So anyway, our first (and if Keith has his way, last) pro photo shoot was just OK. I had high hopes.
All of the shots were in vibrant color but I changed the above shot to black and white to continue the look of the blog. So you might see the color version--or a slight variation--on our Christmas card this year.
Otherwise, I guess we'll go back to using the tripod to take our own shots... like last year's card/ old blog header shot, which is still one of our very best family photos so far:
