Elliot James

First of all... Babies Rock!

This is Elliot. I was blessed with a referral from Stephanie K who's sister delivered this little guy about two months ago. Since I haven't been able to get time in lately with the newborns at the hospital - little Elliot was the best medicine to bring my spirits up after a long week of painful body problems. The shoot was so fun!!

Peek-a-Boo Elliot

Remember, I'm not allowed to edit any of my PDJ's so I'm feeling particularly proud of this one. This photo was taken "on-site" (at the family's home). I used the light coming from the front window, which was perfect in my opinion because of the time of day (5 pm). I also remembered to bring my make-shift black backdrop (a wal-mart clearance velvet curtain purchased for $7). Underneath Elliot is his boppy. His mommy is right next to him, making sure he's comfy. His daddy is behind me holding a silver reflector above the camera....

My favorite thing about this picture is how you can see that Elliot is at that in between stage on his clothes and his shorts are just a tad too big - representing how tiny babies are how fast they grow. Most of all - the double peek-a-boos - Elliot's eyes peeking up and his bum peeking out of those shorts!!! :-)
