This past week I had the pleasure of meeting the adorable miss Ella. A session with her was a gift to her mama from some lovely old friends of mine. I have been looking forward to meeting the little lady for a while now. Let me tell you, while small & pretty new to this world, this little lady completely stole my heart. Beautiful, spunky & sweet this little girl was a joy to capture.
Here are a few of my favorites from out session together.
When I arrived miss Ella was awake and ready to play. I usually like my newborns sleepy but with those beautiful eyes I was happy I got to capture her baby blues!
after a little playing Ella needed a diaper change. Clearly she is set on being a super hero when she grows up with a pose like this!
after a clean diaper, a little super hero work, and mama’s milk Ella was ready to snooze for me. And such a sweet sleeping baby she is! I loved every little bit of her, from her curl-hawk to her toes. 🙂
sweet sleepy baby even gave me some smiles.
once she was out she was out! I think little miss Ella likes sleeping in the sun.
clearly she also loved my new red blanket. Just look at that smile. 🙂
Ella also loves her beautiful mama Melissa. I have to agree, she is pretty wonderful.
and daddy too of course. The family is in the middle of a construction project these days so daddy’s got some hard working hands. I just loved the contrast of her soft skin in them.
the whole family was just wonderful to hang out with.
and one last one of the new family. Ella clearly has it made don’t you think?!
Melissa thanks for having me out to capture your darling little girl. I just loved meeting all 3 of you! I hope you like your peek. I will have the whole set soon! Melissa I would also love to offer you a little blog challenge. If you can get 25 people to comment on this little post I will throw in a cute little wallet brag book on me. Perfect for showing off a cute little baby when you go back to work. 🙂 So leave some love folks. 🙂

Love you already, baby Ella! What a cutie! Our expectations that a newborn photo sitting with Emily would be a good “welcome baby” gift for Melissa & John were certainly fulfilled. Thanks to our daughter Sarah for suggesting that we do this with her. We do try to recommend Emily’s skills every chance we get.
Melissa and her sisters were very beautiful babies.Ella’s beauty is no suprise. Great pictures.
The pictures of our beautiful Ella are perfect! But with such a “perfect” model I feel sure it was not the hardest work you have ever had to do ( I hope)! I was extremely impressed with each and every photo! Nice job!!!!
Congrats Melissa & John on your beautiful little girl! =) What a blessing to you & your family =)
