Second Child Syndrome: Professional Pictures

It's times like this that one of my favorite movies of all time, Sleepless in Seattle, comes to mind.  Do you recall the line when Tom Hanks tells his son, "You'll have plenty to tell your therapist about?"  Well, adding a second child to our family has sort of made me feel like that.  One of the kids seems to always have an issue that needs addressed at the exact time that the other one does, leaving one of them neglected.

When you have your first baby, you make sure to do all the "musts," including professional newborn pictures.  With Ben, I, of course, wanted his pictures done as well, but one thing led to another, and the result was that I opted out of getting them done and instead gave it a shot myself....hopefully, he'll know that it doesn't mean that we aren't just as proud of him (in fact, I have already ordered prints to be hung on the wall--now, to get them framed before his 16th birthday).  What do you think?  Still trying to figure out the color settings on my fancy new lens, so for now it's black and white only (which you all know I am more than ok with!)...
