I get what you're saying about noticing little things, but over time you will stop caring about that kind of stuff. H is a DOLL!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos/page/2#post-459410 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 20:55:54 +0000 chrispygal 459410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG, LOOOOOOOOOOVE the card you made! Adorable!!! I like Tiny Prints a lot as well as Minted. The cards are pricey but such good quality. LOVE the peppermint idea. So stinking cute!!! Harper is a beauty, just like mumma! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos/page/2#post-459275 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 18:56:19 +0000 photojane 459275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think they are SO cute! as a newborn photographer, i'm super picky, and i really love them. she is just perfect. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos/page/2#post-459231 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 18:15:55 +0000 Running Elley 459231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: SO flipping cute! I love the announcement that you decided on!! I see what you mean about the headband but I never would've thought about it on my own. And I like the lace! She's a beautiful girl :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos/page/2#post-459172 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 17:41:35 +0000 dc yoga bee 459172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: Maybe it's just me... butttt I actually LOVE the headband ON her forehead, because it's like she's a present!! Get it? All wrapped up, with a bow on top! I think it's gorgeous, and if you hadn't said anything I would've totally thought the headband was purposely placed on her forehead, and she was wrapped like a present. Especially b/c the announcement says "our holiday miracle," and she's born in December!! I absolutely adore it! Congrats momma! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos/page/2#post-459148 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 17:29:11 +0000 PrincessBaby 459148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awwwww! You guys are so so sweet!</p> <p>Thank you so much for the sweet compliments on Harper! You made my day!</p> <p>I wish I could reply individually but I am in the middle of BF Bootcamp so she's constantly feeding while we work to erase her nipple confusion- so I feel like I never have 2 hands to type! I have to chicken-peck repllies out with my free hand- lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos/page/2#post-459145 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 17:28:17 +0000 singingbee 459145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: awwwwwwww!!!!!

SHE IS SO CUTE!! I love that lacey thing! And didn't notice the headband at all. Love her little expression in the one you chose for the announcement! SO SO Cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos/page/2#post-459120 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 17:11:26 +0000 sorrycharlie 459120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg they're so cute! I was quite bummed too with how many of olivias NB pictures came out, lots of props and kind of goofy :( but nothing I can do now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos/page/2#post-459115 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 17:06:26 +0000 kml636 459115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm jealous! We paid a fortune for ours and they weren't near this cute. Everyone still loved them but I was disappointed so I know how you feel! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos/page/2#post-459011 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 16:24:36 +0000 Mrs. Blue 459011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know everyone has personal preferences, but I would absolutely die from the cuteness of that announcement if I got it in the mail! I think the photo is gorgeous, and she looks so adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos/page/2#post-458997 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 16:19:03 +0000 Sammyfab 458997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the announcement! And the peppermint idea is fabulous!!</p> <p>I can totally understand you being picky because in the end, they are YOUR pics. With that said, I think they're adorable and I wouldn't have noticed the headband. I also would've preferred bare-chested but the lace swaddle is super sweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos/page/2#post-458985 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 16:08:29 +0000 mrskc 458985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: that's perfect!

Although they can usually hide any barriers they use, but it would be hard with peppermints rolling around to keep her stable? Anyway, I like the swaddle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos/page/2#post-458889 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 15:26:40 +0000 Ra 458889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These are precious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos/page/2#post-458886 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 15:23:04 +0000 Mrsbells 458886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They can edit the lace out right? I like the shot but dont like the lace. I would edit it into a different fabric </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos/page/2#post-458859 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 15:11:04 +0000 lawbee11 458859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the announcement....she is such a doll! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos/page/2#post-458794 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:47:54 +0000 pl0508 458794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I think Harper is so cute!!! I get where you are coming from but trust me, the pics are adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos/page/2#post-458779 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:44:08 +0000 shopaholic 458779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww!!! They are SO adorable and Harper is precious! I totally understand about being picky and understand how you'd want it a different way, but the people that get these cards/see these pics, will never have think about anything other than how freaking adorable and precious she is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos/page/2#post-458772 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:42:08 +0000 ladyfingers 458772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're being too picky :) I totally understand where you're coming from, but you're the only one who knows what you would have preferred to see. Looking at them as a third party, I think they're precious and would never think, "oh but they'd be so much cuter without the lace thing and if the bow was higher." Just for comparison sake (not REALLY the same thing, but...), I had my wedding dress tailored specifically so that I could add cap sleeves, and had them sewn and resewn so I could drape them over my shoulders, not wear them vertically like straps. Then, the day of, I totally forgot to wear them the way I'd wanted to, and it bugged me for the longest time looking at pictures and I was so angry at myself! I wore them just like straps! But all anybody had to say was how beautiful I looked, not "but you'd look better if the sleeves were worn further down." ;)</p> <p>She is SO adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos#post-458750 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:34:31 +0000 PrincessBaby 458750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you so much everyone! I actually remembered that it's not super-easy to go darting around town these days now that I have a BFing newborn, so I decided to make my life easy and I ordered these announcements (instead of Christmas cards) on Tiny Prints...That way they can just be a little tardy for the party arriving to people and it's not a Christmas card, so it's okay, but I still get to use the print....</p> <p>I did these (saved the preview as a pdf so it's blurry): </p> [attach=1247/12/mfch57.356x500.1-2.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos#post-458748 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:33:42 +0000 SugarplumsMom 458748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Super cute!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos#post-458738 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:27:45 +0000 wheres_c 458738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got our newborn pics printed at costco. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos#post-458734 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:25:44 +0000 SweetMamaM 458734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can see what you mean about the headband and the lace but she is just so gorgeous that I think it is impossible to detract from her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos#post-458729 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:24:32 +0000 mrs. bird 458729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>since you pointed out the bow, i can see how the bow slippage would annoy you, but just looking at the pic before reading your comments, i thought they were just precious! so sweet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos#post-458727 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:24:20 +0000 MrsTiz 458727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Teach me your ways. :P I envy those who can Photoshop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos#post-458722 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:21:54 +0000 blackbird 458722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can overnight print them from Mpix! Or even a local print shop. I refuse to go with a local store--they always turn out horribly, IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-too-critical-of-these-xmas-photos#post-458714 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:19:55 +0000 Mrs. Pen 458714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: lol I can photoshop but unless they're crazy professional it's not easy to move a bow!</p> <p>I think they're ADORABLE and you might be a tad picky, even though I understand your concerns. The peppermints are SO cute! </p>
