”They’re made of ribbons and butterfly kisses and wonder at Christmas and birthday wishes and a heap of giggles and wiggles and love; these are the things little girls are made of.”
Sweet Ella is about to celebrate her first birthday. Ella and family are from the bay area and wanted to have some pictures taken before she goes and grows up on them. 
Believe me, I know the feeling.
As requested here is some info:
Shot using a Canon 40D, Lenses used 24-70 2.8L and 50mm 1.4, all shot between 1.4 and 2.8, ISO 200-600
I have gotten a couple of emails asking where I shot the “field” pictures. This shot was taken in front of a teeeny patch of grass in a shopping center where I live. I wish I could find a huge field of the stuff..if you know where one is let me know.

Oh. my. I absolutely love these – especially with her little arms behind her head. She looks like she’s on her way to modeling. What a doll.
these are wonderful Ashley – what a really cute little model. Lovely light in these too. Do you use a reflector at all?
