all about ella

the first time I met Ella, we were cool. it was cold outside, but she was little and as long as her momma was close by, she was fine with my camera all up in her face. the second time I was with Ella, we weren't so cool. It was freezing out and she wanted nothing to do with me. at all. I have a few outtakes from that session to prove it, too. so, this time, I was bound and determined to make Ella my pal for an hour or so. I decided to bring in the big guns {yellow balloons} to entice a smile or two. she was such a little ham...I had a great time playing with her, and it didnt hurt that the weather was actually nice for once :) and, not to talk smack about her dad, but we asked him to hold the balloons for a few shots and he accidentally let go of them. this is the kids reaction after we heard a little scream coming from where he was standing... thanks, Q crew, for a fun afternoon!!


Sweet Shot Day

    The yellow balloons made me smile. So did her dress. I just love and adore little girls. Love. Love. LOVE them!

  3. How adorable! The first capture with her eyes are amazing and that second capture with the bright yellow balloons is fantastic! Oh, and poor dad being the one to let the balloons go. He'll never live that down!

  6. Three's a charm. Good for you for "bringing in the big guns". (Gotta remember that - balloons really are magic.)

    I love the feel of the 3rd image. And the natural reaction of the last - perfect!
