sweet ella

this is the MOST fun I have had on a newborn shoot EVER! For starters, this perfect specimen of a 10 day old belongs to my dear friend Chelsea, so I loved spending the morning with her! Second, Ella is the most beautiful SLEEPY sweet baby. Third, Chels had this lovely damask fabric and let me just have a hay day with her little one! Though most newborn photographers make it look easy- newborn shoots are long, hard (but super fun!) work. This little girl made me feel like a pro for the morning. =) usually I average about 30 proofs per session. This chica has probably 60 great shots. I could post all day long … and kinda did. =)
oh. and fyi, i made [made! from start to finish!!] these little newborn cocoons. the green one will be available for future shoots, the pink one was my gift to ella.  all images were taken with natural light- no flash, nothing but a window.
