Leanne and Brent are wonderful wedding clients of mine who recently added a new member to their family: baby Ella.  It’s always nice to photograph people in the context of their own homes – the sessions always have a bit of a “day in the life of…” feel to them.  Plus, Leanne and Brent have a beautiful house with great lighting, so that’s always a bonus for shooting.  Ella was a little restless at first in her Christmas dress (she was more interested in trying to eat it), but with the “formal” portraits of her and her cousin out of the way, her playful little personality quickly emerged.  She seemed to quite enjoy romping around with mom and dad, and had GREAT interest in the cat who seemed quite intent on being part of the shoot too.  Some faves from the session:
