Baby Elias: 2 months

December 10, 2009

A few weeks ago, I ventured over to St. Paul for a session with Baby Elias and family in their super cute home on the most perfect little street!  I just love St. Paul, always have…. maybe because I grew up East of the river, or maybe because my high school besties’ super cool first college apartment was just off Grand Ave, or maybe just because it’s a magical little city with adorable neighborhoods and the best dessert place EVER!  (Cafe Latte, of course – have you tried their lemon creme torte?  TO DIE FOR, I’m telling you – go NOW – you won’t be sorry!!)

I digress.  Not only did I have a great time shooting little Elias, but I also got to play trains with big brother, Calvin.  Calvin LOVES trains.  And cars, and helicopters, planes….   We had a blast!  My favorite part about this ‘job’ is getting to bond with my clients.   Taking a time out to play in the sand or check out some toys or talk about the Jonas Brothers is a sure way to build some trust and ultimately capture better photos.
(plus, I get to have FUN in the process.)   :)Elias 2 months - St. Paul Baby photo session-grinElias 2 months - St. Paul Baby photo session-yawnElias 2 months - St. Paul Baby photo session-momElias 2 months - St. Paul Baby photo session-yoga stretchElias 2 months - St. Paul Baby photo session-dadElias 2 months - St. Paul Baby photo session - side sleeperElias 2 months - St. Paul Baby photo session-feet

Sneak Peek: Baby Elias

Baby Elias has the thickest mop of spiked out hair I’ve ever seen on a baby, and I LOVE IT!!!   Seriously, I could’ve played with his hair all day; every time Elias’ mom smoothed it down, I was right behind her spiking it back up.  (I’m mean like that, but really, it made for much better photos…I swear.)
