Ella

Waiting in a Dr’s office, one day, I saw this adorable little girl with her mother. I worked up my courage to introduce myself, give her mother Dawn, one of my business cards, all the while trying not to look like a pushy greedy photographer. I had wanted before to walk up to complete strangers to ask if I could photograph them, just because something about them inspired me, but up until that day had never overcome the fear to appear a like a deranged lady. Dawn never called me, but a wonderful opportunity came by, while one of my friends had Ella for an afternoon play date. It’s the red hair, her milky complexion, the beautiful auburn long eye lashes, her angelical face, her bright smile, all with the sweetest disposition, I’m swoon over lovely Ella. As the weather cools down, I’m hoping for an other chance, a little more time to capture her gentle spirit through my lens.

This has got to be the funniest and cutest little series of pictures. Ella had just put on her bathing suit, and was giving us a bootie dance, cheered by my friend Amy.

    I am sure that Ella's mom is THRILLED!!! I would be!

    I too know that approaching strangers fear. That is a tough one to get over, but I am sure that when the people look at your images they will be more than happy to know who you are!

    I love them, not one in particular, but all of them. I am so happy to see some more up. Keep them coming.
