A couple of weeks before Easter, we took Scout to Knoxville Botanical Gardens for a baby duck photo shoot with KJPhotography. I was so excited about this shoot because Scout is such an animal lover. She had done her bunny shoot just a couple of weeks prior and fell in love with the bunny, although we didn't get to spend much time with him. When Scout first saw the baby ducks she seemed very intrigued, but that all changed very quickly when she got her hands on one. She seemed a bit scared, just to be quite honest. I guess I would be too, if I was only 22 months old and didn't know what to expect. She didn't like how the duck constantly moved around and she really disliked his feet. Needless to say, the shoot was nearly a fail. Kristie was able to get a few good shots, which was amazing because Scout ended up being in a pretty foul mood. I've come to realize that for the time being, photo shoots are going to be a challenge. I know once Scout gets older, it will be easy again (hoping and praying). Honestly, she was being pretty bratty during most of the session, but it's a catch 22. Either I spank her (for acting out), which will make her cry or let her continue acting out and like a brat. Either way, there's no good ending. Oh well. I know this is all part of raising a child. Regardless, I still love her unconditionally and adore her like no other. I want her to know I love her, but I also want her to know what "tough love" is. My parents taught me tough love and I didn't turn out so bad. :) No comments from the peanut gallery, please. ;) Anyhow, with all of this above said, enjoy the pictures below. Oh, and Happy Mother's Day to all of you Mommy's and Mama's, etc! Anyone can be a mother, but it takes a real special woman to be a mommy, mama, etc.
