Remember this picture?

The other day as I was thumbing through my photos trying to find something, I stumbled across another picture from that photo shoot:

It just cracks me up every time. That tortured look. Just can’t stand that grass. Worse, it’s not the first time her evil mother has done this to her:

from this tutorial

Anyway, thought you might get a kick out of that. Or maybe this will be the beginning of the child-advocacy group hatemail.

    That is hysterical!!!! thanks for making me laugh!!! I love these pics!!! i have a few of those with my son on my copputer too!

  2. Ammie says:

    Teeheehee! I love it. I am a big fan of "abused" child pics at my house, too.

  3. Myrnie says:

    Careful editing can save face every time :) (MAN that green grass looks good right now!!)

  4. Marie Grace says:

    Miserable kid pictures are too fun. Glad I'm not the only one who does that. Its always fun to make a kid stand outside in the cold or snow to model my latest knitwear.

  5. Jacki says:

    omg, ha ha! I bribe my kids with candy. :) but, we get crying frequently anyway. *sigh* My 4 y/o had gotten to where he's happy to model. So, I guess I have two more years of the other uncooperative model. Yay! :)

  6. dana says:

    hahaha. love this!

    So funny. I had put the picture of the sunsuit in my favorites for this summer and Tuesday when my daughter and I were discussing a 4th of July outfit we looked back at the sunsuit. I think we laughed as much the second time as when we first saw it.

  8. deltasierra says:

    Awesome! She's so cute. :)

    It's good to get them exposed to the texture of grass early, even if they hate it! My son has texture sensitivity issues, and it was actually kind of hilarious to watch him try to stand up from grass or dirt without touching the ground with his hands. I'm a mean mommy, too. :)

    LOL
    I have a collection of "MOM=MEAN" pictures as well. It's always the really bad pictures you gotta collect.
    I'm a very expressive talker and it's very normal for me to make expressions like I smell something absolutely terrible. My mom likes to collect pictures taken of me at special events making this face. Grad… engagement party… wedding… that sort of stuff. If she had really thought ahead she probably could have made a slideshow of those pictures for my wedding… thank goodness she didn't. ;)

    muahahahahaha!

  11. k a t y says:

    You're a mean, mean mommy. Except your grass looks so soft and supple compared to our rigid, thick prickly excuse of a lawn.

  12. Chris says:

    Ha! Thanks for the Friday funny. Perfect blackmail material for when she's a teenager.

  13. DJ Rose says:

    Like others, I can't decide what is more priceless in this picture: the tortured child or the soft green grass.

    LOVE it!!!

  14. Full Of Fluff says:

    I had something like that happen myself. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cerya/4361009020/

  15. PumpkinGirl says:

    My mom has this photo of me standing in the freezing cold ocean in Maine as a kid, howling in pain at the cold. For some reason, I absolutely love that photo. Yours are great!

  16. fivegreenacres says:

    And that is MY laugh-out-loud moment for the day. Those are so great.

  17. Kristy says:

    Too funny! And that is the sweetest sad face in the first pic too! Thanks for sharing a smile….even at her sweet expense!

  18. Katie says:

    That is hilarious! You and I are the same kind of mother, LOL!

    Those are fantastic! Everyone needs pictures of their kids screaming – just to prove that their adorable, well behaved children AREN'T robots! :)

  21. Katie says:

    Heheh – these are too funny and cute!

  22. jessica says:

    I love it! Someone should start a Flickr group for all these tortured little models. I'm certain I have similar shots from my own childhood, wailing in Little-House-in-the-Prairie-esque dresses. :)

  23. Crystal says:

    That last picture just made my day, way too funny!

  24. Linen and Tulle says:

    I love crying pictures and always pick up my camera to capture a moment. oh, the crumpled face.

    i don't feel so bad anymore! my son used to be terrified of grass, too.

  26. politicaljunkieMom says:

    Best. Baby. Pic. Ever. My toddler (close to 3) runs from the camera now, screaming "No, no! I'm hiding from your pictures!" and I've been forced to concede that the days of endless baby pics are over.

    BTW I adore your blog and credit you with my love of sewing. I made 5 Buttercup bags over the last year as gifts. I had sewn curtains before–straight seams, that was it. Your instructions were incredible. The bags are adorable! Though I've yet to make one for myself…

  27. Jessica @ Common Threads says:

    Ha ha . . . you couldn't tell her displeasure from the first photo. I guess some things never change. My LO took a little while to become displeased with the grass when I did similar photo shoots.

  28. The Anti-Perfectionist says:

    Ha, ha! That's awesome. I've done the same thing myself but the crop tool always takes care of it for me.

  29. kathytypestoo says:

    if i wanted my third child to stay put i just had to put his blanket in the grass-he hated it too! he would do anything to keep from having it touch him. poor kid ;)

  30. El says:

    I see that type of face all the time- but its the grass that has my real attention! Haven't seen that in a long time…

    PS 2/3rds of mine hated grass too and I love the funny baby pics I took of them avoiding it :) She's adorable.

  31. Megan says:

    funny…she'll need therapy for sure.

  32. Anonymous says:

    ha! how funny i have a niece who hates grass too

  33. Miss Sews-it-all says:

    Love these! I am afraid to say that I have a few pics of my own wee one with the same expression. What is it with toddlers and grass?

  34. nancymoo says:

    Ha! Too cute! Thanks for sharing those. Now I don't feel bad for the 'sad face' pictures I take. :D

  35. Jenny says:

    Oh that is funny! And terribly cute!

  36. denice@inkstitch says:

    Bahahahaha!! *Love!*

  37. MG says:

    Reminds me of the pictures I took of my then-3-month-old on a haystack (but there was a blanket underneath her!) at the pumpkin patch.

  38. Karen says:

    I LOVE those photos!!!

  39. ThirdMargaret says:

    Wah! Bless her heart…that's too funny. I can see her tonsils in the 2nd one, that's fierce!

  40. Erin says:

    This completely cracks me up! Needed that. Thank you.

  41. KellyLeaSews says:

    So cute! I have some pics of my oldest that look just like that, I told my husband we have to capture all of her moods, even the sad ones :)

  42. carey says:

    Ha! Those are great!

  43. mamman says:

    …Love the photos!
    I just posted a funny baby-picture too… (baby's still too little to get after me!)

  44. Sherman Unkefer says:

    Sooo cute! Nice photos! I love the last pic…

  45. Cerise says:

    Those pictures are hysterical! I have plenty of my son making that exact face. Poor kids…always getting "tortured" my their mothers.

  46. Amy says:

    Oh my goodness, those photos just made my day!! And I thought my daughter was the only one who's tortured by modeling lovingly handmade clothes. It's rough having a mom who sews, I tell you.

  47. vivupnorth says:

    The grass! It's so lush and fresh and green and evil! Too funny.

  48. Julie says:

    Quick question??? I'm on the lookout for a serger but I am not at all familiar with them. I remember you have one. What kind do you have and would you recomend it? Any tips or thoughts there?
    Thanks!

    Ahahaha, that makes me feel better for the pictures I sometimes post of my daughter with crazy morning hair! :D very funny!

  50. Anonymous says:

    I'm so glad I am not the only one who is amused by sad pictures of their child.

  51. Colleen says:

    Gave me a good laugh! My daughters hated the grass at that age too…and the sand…and the lake water…

  52. Carolyn says:

    It's good to know that I'm not the only one torturing my child when taking pictures of her :)

  53. NYC Hotels says:

    I love these cute baby's crying photos,its some funny but hilarious.

  54. Emily says:

    HYSTERICAL. LOVE IT.
