I am so excited to share these images with you all! If you've been following my blog ever since I started, you should remember the Brotherston family portraits I took last June. Ellen and Kyle contacted me a week ago and wanted some portraits of their new baby girl, who is officially one month old today! I was very excited because I'd never photographed babies before. It proved a little bit more difficult than we all anticipated, but it really taught me patience as a photographer.
The Aronsons welcomed me into their lovely home yesterday and upon entry, I noticed so many cute details around the house that evolved around Linnea. I really wanted to capture it all so it's important you see these images all together (hence the collages I made). This is one of my goals as a photographer to really shoot a story rather than one single picture. This was my first attempt at a lifestyle shoot, but it won't be the last! I'm glad that Ellen and Kyle were up to being guinea pigs. I don't even know if they're aware of that ;) Regardless, I will say that this has been one of my favorite shoots in awhile. I love the high-key look and just so 'light' these images feel if that makes any sense to you at all.
Anyway, sorry for all the blabber! I loved so many of my captures so this is a lot more than I would normally blog. Please leave some comments and let me know what you think. I would love that :)
Ellen made these headbands herself!
Mommy reading to little Linnea!
Matching bracelets grandma made!
A painting passed down a few generations... so beautiful.
Probably the only image I got of Linnea semi-smiling? Love this.
