I'm sorry, but anyone else find this ad NOT cute at all/terrible?
Let's take a look together. First off, the ad slogan, "Your perfect costume. Our expertise." So, this, I'm guessing one-year-old or younger, baby styled and staged awkwardly on a broom in an older-kid witch costume with a black curtain behind her shows expertise? We have a hit and miss, kids! What would be a good ad for a photo shoot of a BABY at Halloween? A real cute baby, a.k.a., your kid, sitting in or amongst pumpkins/leaves/black background ... whatever, in a cute, age-appropriate costume, even like a floppy witch hat, sitting up like babies of this age really do and not perched on a broom while we onlookers wonder if she's hanging on for dear life. At least, that's what I see and feel when I look at this. I just think the combo of the terrible slogan and the awkwardness of this photo makes for such a bad ad.
Funny, my husband asked if I was making fun of Angela from The Office who loves pictures of babies, a la Anne Geddes. No. Anne Geddes' photos are WAY cuter than this one and I don't even like or care about cute pix of babies. Just a rant, kids. A grumpy rant. I'm done now.

Yeah! It's like, "so you want your kid to be a WITCH for Halloween?" Let US help you do it!!! :)
I saw this and thought it was completely disturbing.
That is hilarious! I totally pulled this ad out a few weeks ago when we got it in the mail and showed Pat. Who the heck wants their child to be a witch for halloween!
