"Failed" Family Picture day

Stu got me a Groupon to have a professional photography take our pictures.  I wanted to get them done for Christmas, but I waited to long and they didn't have any openings.  I scheduled our shoot for the first available time in January.  We went to St. George to visit my G & G and left early Monday morning to make it back in time for Hannah to have a nap and be happy for the 4PM shoot.  I had this feeling that something was going to happen with our scheduled "plans", and called the group the morning of the shoot to confirm our appt.  Left a message and felt better.
We made it home for Hannah's nap, I started to get myself ready: showering and curling the hair. Ironing the clothes (all newly bought special for the occasion) and did my make up.  Hannah woke up happy, I got her ready and we left with 30 min to spare to make it to our outdoor appointment up at Wheeler Farm.  As we are driving there, my phone rings...its the photographer.  He told me with the inversion we have been having, it is causing the snow to reflect a lot of light and therefore washing out the subjects.  He said he shot a family the day before and has to do them again.  He was "willing" to try if we wanted...Oh I laid into him.  I told him "first off, my appt starts in 20 min and you are just telling me this NOW.  second we came home from our vacation early, I bought outfits for this shot and you couldn't call me earlier to give me a "heads up"???"  I was so mad.  I think he knew that and told me he would upgrade my picture package.  But now we don't shoot till spring/summer.  Since our outfits were sweater type, I will have to get a whole new outfit for us!  ARGGGGG
Here are some picture we took ourselves since we were all dolled up.
