A couple of our kids have been asking for an updated professional portrait of Carolyn and me. After all, it's been 5 years since Philip and Jenny's wedding where the wedding photographer took a good picture of us. And Carolyn being the most experienced of the two of us as far as operations go, reminded me that a serious operation takes a lot out of a person and it may be months before she looks as good as she does now. Especially this time when her treatment will include chemotherapy.

So when she called this afternoon and got a 5:00 appointment at Glamour Shots we grabbed three sets of clothing and dashed down to Arden Fair Mall.




The first step was the "Glamour" part of the Glamour Shots. Carolyn got a professional makeover with facial makeup and hair styling.


Although the facial makeup was all right the hair was not to may taste or Carolyn's. Fortunately, Carolyn was quickly able to fix it easily.

The next part was the photo shoot. I don't know how many pictures the photographer took of us but 54 were good enough to show us. They had no other customers so there was no pressure to stop shooting. If we had had 3 more changes of clothes, he probably would have shown us 108.

It was difficult narrowing down the selection we'll have but we weren't quite ready to pay $4,000 for all the selections.
