Entry for April 29, 2008

Ella is in love with the camera again!  She is very interested in the other side of pictures right now.  I find her stealing my camera often.  She is so cute!  She holds my big camera up to her face, and points it at someone and says, “Smi-ul”.  She doesn’t know how to actually take a picture yet, but after she pretends to take a shot she will say, “Good job!” or “That’s great!”.  I guess I know what I sound like now!  Thankfully she is also willing to sit for me again.  Whenever she does something she thinks is noteworthy she turns to me and says “Take a Picture Mommy” so the number of snapshots I have of her is growing rapidly.  I don’t think I have taken this many candids in such a short time since she was a newborn!  I also got to take some additional 2 year portraits, this time in the studio.  I must say, she is awfully cute.

More ABC’s!  The rest of little Brenna’s sessions went wonderfully!  I have all 26 pictures taken and now I just have to get to editing.  She was a great little girl to work with, as long as I had enough candy on hand!  She was tired of shooting and we only had 4 or 5 left so with permission from her Mom we bribed her with  M&Ms.  Worked like a charm and we got some fantastic pictures.

 

We have a lot of great sessions to look forward to next month including a last minute maternity session this weekend.  It has been a long while since I have shot an expecting mother and I am really looking forward to it! 

 

Someone asked in a comment on last week’s blog entry how much we charge for our ABC books.  Since the commenter was Anonymous and I can’t answer them directly, I thought I would add that information here for them and anyone else who is interested.
