Feel Good Moment of The Week

[simplelah]

We took the kids to get a family photo for Christmas cards done last night.
Our photographer rocked. She really picked up on how our family "works".
She was calling us mom and mommy (to the kids... ie: "Okay, now go hug mom!"). She was friendly and welcoming and even helped us figure out the wording on our cards. (The kids have my x's last name and she and I still have different last names so the typical "Merry Christmas from the Lastname Family!" just wouldn't work for us but we wanted something "Family") It was really just more than I expected. We went somewhere else a few months ago and the gal didn't recognize us as a family at all.

So, we got a really great (except me looking bad) family photo and a great photo of the kids together AND we got recognized as a legitimate family for once.


Little things like this just really make my week.

LaH, that's awesome! It's those little things that make all the difference. I know how important they are. When DW and I went to get engagement pictures done we had a similar experience. The photog treated us like any other couple and posed us that way also. It was the best experience.

We had the same thing happen when we went on our honeymoon cruise.. with one photographer, but not with the other (they do photos almost every night)... The one guy that got "us" thought it was great and congratulated us on our honeymoon and got a great picture, which we still have framed two years later! The other guy, not so great, posed us in ways you would pose two high school best friends, you know, that back to back over-the-shoulder look!?! When we went on a cruise again a few months ago we saw him and knew to avoid him at all cost. Again with the other photographer (a new one) though, he also got "us" and it was great!
It's so great when it happens! Glad you had a great experience!
