6 month pictures

Warning: this post contains pictures that I did not pay for. I did pay for the first ones, and will delete these after people have looked at them, but I couldn't resist posting all of the wonderful pics that we got! If you feel that this is wrong please feel free to skip this post... :)

The day before Olivia's 6 month birthday we went to Sears to get some professional photos taken. I know that I take pretty good pictures, but I am still sold on getting professional ones every 6 months or so because of the difference in quality. The shoot was successful, which is a HUGE understatement, and all of these pictures were taken in less than half an hour. Olivia was totally hamming it up, just turning and smiling every time we put her in a new pose. Alex and I were sitting on either side of her on drool duty, which was an important job because we had to be fast in order for her outfits to stay dry!

Anyway, here goes! First, the pictures that we couldn't resist buying some of. Let me know if you want a wallet...we have a few left over!












Now the copyrighted pics...




We took some family photos, but Alex and I weren't planning on taking any, so my hair isn't done and they didn't turn out super great



















And the pics of Olivia... she did so great! We really didn't have to do any pose twice, I can't tell you how easy this was! MUCH more successful than her 1 month pics :)











Standing with any sort of balance was very new, but we did it anyway, and she made it look easy!









Outfit change! These pictures are courtesy of Niki and her wonderful bow and tutu mix! Olivia was having a great time playing with the tutu, we had a hard time getting her to let go :)


















Outfit change #2! This was the photographer's idea (I'm not super big on naked pictures) but I'm so glad we went along with it because they turned out great! At this point Olivia was pretty hungry, but she did her job and posed for 4 quick pictures before she could get dressed and fed again.














And that's a wrap for the illegal pictures! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do, everytime I look at Olivia or these pictures I can't believe how half of that came from me! :) She is so beautiful, I just really enjoy looking at her and watching her grow.
