It's picture time..let the tears begin

When Ronnie(our oldest) was born I was dedicated to having his picture taken every 3 months without fail to make sure I captured every little change that he made. After his first year I went to one Family portrait a year and one Birthday portrait a year taken with the cheesy little plastic number to represent his age. Then came Hunter and I slacked a little. Every three months was more like every six months but I stuck to yearly family and birthday(don't forget the cheesy age appropriate number!) photos. I stuck with this routine until the boys started Kindergarten and began getting school pictures taken. By the time Ava came around I had completely fallen off the wagon :( We had a portrait of all three kids together taken when Ava was about a week old. There was no way I was getting my post pregnancy with the third baby body in that picture! Ava's next picture was done at six month and boy was she a ham. Her first birthday came and of course we went and captured that moment!
Fast forward 2 years, 3 months and one ASD later and Ava has yet to have another professional photo taken. Those who know me laugh because it's not like I haven't captured every moment in time since then with my camera but it's just not the same.
I have put it off so long because I just know it's going to be a nightmare. Ava NEVER looks at the camera. I know she won't pose or sit still. Our family is a one income family and it's just not in the budget to hire a photographer to come to our home and catch Ava at the perfect moment. Perhaps I will wait a bit...what's another few months,right?
