8/5/10 - PICTURE DAY!!

Today we are very excited...it's picture day!! We're off to Kristi's studio to take TONS and TONS of pictures today...family pictures, Olivia's 18 month pictures (a little late), Amelia's newborn pictures and some pictures of the girls together. We just LOVE working with Kristi, and, knowing what an amazing job she does, we couldn't wait to get there!

Our session ended up lasting FOUR HOURS!! Amelia would get crabby/hungry/too awake, so we'd switch to Olivia...then she'd get crabby/tired/uncooperative, so we'd switch to Amelia...back and forth all day. In the end, I know she got some amazing shots and I can't wait to see all of them. She posted a few of them this evening in her blog (http://blog.imagesbykris.com/2010/08/05/afternoon-with-the-duran-family/), AHHH, so cute. I just LOVE pictures!

After our session, we were off to Christian's parents' house for a BBQ. His step-dad's kids were supposed to come over and join us, but some stuff came up and they couldn't make it, so it ended up being just us. Amelia was just exhausted after the picture chaos and napped most of the afternoon/evening. Olivia NEEDED a nap like nobody's business, but refused and just ran around playing all night (with many intervals of whining). We were finally on our way home around bedtime, Olivia passed out and we were not far behind. It was a long day, but a great one! Here are pictures of the girls, passed out in the truck as soon as we left the in-laws!
