Azella

Yesterday I did an in-home photo shoot of the Bartlett’s new baby, Azella. She is about a month and a half, if I remember correctly. You never know what kind of light you’re going to get during an in-home session, but they had such a beautiful home with great big windows! I had a lot to work with, both with what I brought along and with what Azella’s mom, April, had. April & her husband, Chris, were a joy to work with, and we visited for quite a while afterward. They generously shared some yummy blueberries and grapes with me!

I was so excited when April wanted to try these colorful scraps of silk I had brought along in a basket! I love bright colors & I think they go so well with babies. It’s refreshing over the typical pastels and light colors. (I’m glad to see more colorful and well-designed baby bedding and such out there these days!)

Azella’s brother and sister – they were awesome to work with! I chatted with them for a bit before we got started on the shoot. I have quite a few homeschool kids in my classes at the Y, and they are always so much more mature – you can have more meaningful conversations with them at a younger age. These two were no exception, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Kayden is a little Artist and sold me a picture he had colored for 50 cents. He tried to get $2 out of me, but I didn’t have that much cash.
