{Baby Session: Elsa Marie}

I love babies.  I don't if I have said it enough, but I absolutely adore little ones.  They are so little, and cute, and even at one month or one years old, they have their own amazing little personalities.  On Thursday I had the pleasure of photographing the beautiful Elsa Marie, daughter to Shasta and Fred, whose maternity session I did back at the end of September.  It was right before Elsa was due to be born.  I was sort of hoping for Shasta to go into labor during the photo shoot, so I could have an epic story to tell. I mean seriously, photographing a maternity session, mom goes into labor, we all rush to the hospital, beautiful baby is born!  That is an amazing story.  Alas, little Elsa decided to wait until October 4 to make her appearance into the world.  And on November 4, I was able to see her again, and photograph her baby session.

One thing about babies, they work on their own time!  Keep that in mind parents.  No matter how well fed they are, how warm they are, or even if they are sleeping before the session,  if they are not happy, no photos are getting done!  Once we learned the secret to Elsa's happiness during the shoot, it was smooth sailing from there!  Have a look:

“A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for"
