First Portrait Pics

We had a very short weekend since John was only home for 24 hours in between business trips. But we managed to squeeze in an appointment at a portrait studio for Leah's first professional pics. We brought 2 outfits for her to wear, one of which was her beautiful Korean Hanbok that her foster family bought for her. I attempted to try it on her the day before at home, but she just tried to grab it and play with it. So I had no idea if it would even fit and didn't have high hopes about getting her to cooperate. I definitely didn't think she'd keep the headpiece on since she has decided that she doesn't like hats anymore.

She really surprised us. She was so busy observing everything and everyone around her that she let us change her clothes twice without a fuss and did great through all the different poses and background changes. She didn't do her usual big smiles but she looked really cute.

Afterwards while we were waiting for the prints, Leah played with other kids at the Lego table and was so social and friendly with them.






She wandered around the studio smiling at people and was being a real ham. At one point, she walked right up to a tiny baby in his mom's arms and tried to pull the pacifier out of his mouth while his mom wasn't looking. Good thing we caught it right in time! She also tried to walk out of the studio by herself.




She thought the whole experience was really exciting, and afterwards when we got home zonked out for a nice, long nap.
