//baby photo shoot//

Yesterday I had the opportunity to take pictures of this beautiful little girl...

{Esther Grace} born on March 12th

You might remember seeing some pictures I did of a family of 8 back in October {here}. I took a few maternity shots during this shoot...and well... this is the baby :) 

These folks are good friends of mine. We attend the same church, Nikki and I shot a wedding together last June, I teach Racheal violin, and so on. They are definitely a blessing to me! We planned this shoot awhile ago...probably only a few weeks after Nikki told me they had a baby coming in March. This was my first time shooting a little one, but I believe it was the most fun I've had doing a photo shoot! It was probably an easier shoot too, because she cooperated so well! There's so many different ways you can capture little ones and I'm looking forward to having more photo shoots like this!! 

This is how our session started...but after some time with her mama things got much better :)

{this is my favorite...her mom was holding her and talking and she smiled} 

{have you heard of the Princess and the Pea??}
