Our daycare does "school pictures" twice a year- once in the fall and once in the spring. Well they decided to use a new company this time around who came to the daycare, took the photos and then would come back a few weeks later with all of the photos printed so you could buy the packages right then and walk away with your pictures. Oh and each child was to receive a tote with their photo on it whether we ordered any prints or not.
Since Henry's fall photos were seriously adorable, I was pretty excited to get the boys' photos back. So I sent Ryan to pick them up that day- only because I hate being pressured into buying extra stuff and Ryan is good at saying no. He gets home- no photos, no totes.
I asked what the heck was going on & he informs me that the lady basically told him the boys' pictures weren't good enough to print and they didn't think we would like them enough to buy them so they didn't print them. Instead we got a half sheet of paper with the photo proofs & an email address if we want to order. Oh yeah & no totes.
Of course I was miffed & the mama bear in me started to come out- my kids are adorable and no one should be told that their kids' pictures aren't cute enough to print. So I mentioned something the next day at daycare about the pictures and the lack of totes. Yeah they were NOT happy [there were other issues besides ours]. So after contacting customer service we are supposedly getting our free totes soon but I'm not ordering any prints. Perhaps they shouldn't have basically told me my kids are ugly- jerks!
& here are my boys' "not cute enough" photos- & for the record- I would have totally ordered them. Holden's face just cracks me up!

Who the hell are they to say whether YOUR KIDS' pictures are "cute enough" to print. Your kids are adorable and as their mama, you would have loved their photos even if they were crying...
I just want to squeeeeeze them!!!!
Those are adorable! i would have ordered them too.
Those are so cute!
These pics are adorable! What jerks! My favorite photos of kiddos are usually the candids, and natural expressions. So much more real!
So cute.. I think the pictures are great..
We had a similar issue with the boy's MDO pictures.. The church was very unhappy but oh well.. :)
I'm a photographer and what they did was wrong. They should have at least printed one of each of the boys. Even if they didn't like the print, you might have liked it. I have never not given anyone a print bc I didn't like how they turned out. I would have blown up on that photographer. I think the boys look way too cute.
I am STILL appalled by this story!!
That is craziness...can you imagine if that happened in a highschool. It baffles me that they would do that. Your babies are cute ALL the time.
These are flippin' adorable! Screw off lady that thought otherwise :)
Geez...your kids must go to school with super model babies because your two boys are some of the cutest I've ever seen! Those pictures are adorable!
seriously, my mouth dropped when I read this story. How awful - and how cute your kids are!
