Photo shoot

Tuesday 25th June and didn't sleep too well heard Ellie at 2ish but she went back to sleep then woke up 6ish and got up at 8. It was then to Ripon to sort out my Leeds building society just signed ISA up for another year and Dad eventually found some new trainers which I found for him. Home chill for abit then Sharon arrive 12.30ish and then go to York for our family photo shoot, Ellie eventually fell asleep in car as not slept all day. We ended up parking near the post office and parking was expensive was £12 but gave us parking til 8am tomorrow morning. Then to portfolio studios on micklegate for our photo shoot, Portfolio studio boasts the areas largest mult-set photography studio and a wide range of profesional photography packages. As soon as we arrived was offered a drink and obvisiously we all decided on the sparkling wine. Then time to have our make up done decided to go natural but couldn't believe how long my eyelashes were and decided to have hair curly for a change, happy with finished result. When we are finished and looking superb and glamorous, we were escorted to the studio to meet our photographer. This is where we got to discuss which backgrounds and sets we like from over a dozen different options for our exciting photo-shoot. By this time Ellie just waking up and first was to have our professional pictures done and Ellie wasn't really that bothered by it but liked the student who kept her distracted. The professional one was more focused on the three of us and us as individuals also Ellie wouldn't smile for camera think had 3 outfits. Following this we were escorted to the super saver infinity studio for contemporary, creative and energetic shots. This is were we met 'Maddie' who was taking our family shots and tried to make it more fun for Ellie. We then got chance to take a break of an hour so had a quick dash into town as Shaton wanted some MAC make-up and mum collect something from M&S. It was then back to studio to view our images which are retouched to the highest standard and we got see a presentation of them. Was so many good ones was hard to decide which ones we definitely wanted eventually got it down to 16 pictures on CD with a framed pictures for £100 each. Then home and can't believe where the time had gone as was nearly 7pm so decided we would go out for food just the 3 of us. Originally first thought was to go to Sweet Basil a Chinese/Thai restaurant but Dad not really that keen on Chinese. So ended up going to the Ship Inn at Aldborough a warm country pub which offers British food and we all had Gammon, egg and pineapple was good. It was then home drink wine and watch TV and trust me to fall asleep on sofa and eventually got to bed at 12.
