Baby Ellie... all grown up!

This morning, I had the opportunity to go back to visit Baby Ellie for a follow-up portrait session! I hadn't seen her in over a year, so it was amazing to see how much she had grown!

We had so much fun, and even braved the scorching heat for a few images out in the backyard...







Then we moved inside to do a few of my favorite kind of portraits. I am always amazed by how many fun images we can squeeze out of 5 minutes of quiet time! Ellie wasn't very interested in relaxing on the couch, but Allison pulled out her proof book from the last session, and suddenly Ellie was very excited!





She's certainly a busy baby, but we managed to catch her in between moments as well as her busy ones!





Look at that smile! (And I think Allison is beautiful!)



Last time I shot with Ellie, we hung out with her pony, Romeo... today we rode toy horses instead! Ellie is a natural!



Spent a little time coloring...



And even a bit of snuggling!



Pops came over to hang out for a couple of images. It was wonderful to meet him!



Howard and Allison, thanks for inviting me back... Let's not let another year go by before we do this again!

Enjoy your slideshow!
