We are having our family Christmas photos taken this afternoon by Jody Lynn Photography. We've been through this a time or two, so I have a running list in my mind of items to take along on such an outing. Here is my bag and pile so far. I am sure I'm probably forgetting something and will add to it before we're out the door.
In the picture:
- big ol' bag (duh)
- backup outfit for toddler ... because, well, you never know.
- holiday props: "Merry Christmas" sign, big candy canes, lollipops
- bribery: suckers, M&Ms
- snacks: sippy of water, fishy crackers
- bubbles and extra solution
- comb, extra hair bows and baggie of hair elastics
- lint roller
- lotion (Who wants scaly skin wishing them a Merry Christmas?)
- reindeer stuffed animal
- small holiday-themed toys that toddler might hold to keep her still
- scissors (no loose threads here)
- wipes
- backup lipstick, compact, lip balm
- ETA: tissues!
Wow! You are an Uber mommy! I never bring anything. Maybe I should start :) Can't wait to see the photos.
ReplyDeleteBut can you come with me and bring your bag of stuff? ;) I never worry about needing anything when the two of us are out together ... we pretty much have it covered.

That's pretty much it. On two of Amelia's photo shoots, I actually forgot a clean diaper. So she is wearing a cloth burp cloth under her clothes in her 6 month photos. It's pink, and you can kind of see it through her clothes. : )
No, I'm exaggerating. You know I bring extra clothes and hair accessories. And I did think to bring a stuffed lion that one time (to go with her Leo shirt) (though I forgot shoes). But we never have to wait long at Portrait Innovations, and they have a block table Amelia likes, so I don't have to bring stuff to amuse her.
Kristi, there is a comb in the photo. TIA!

The wait at our PI isn't like yours, which is why I try to get the first appointment of the day when we go there.
