Meet Ellie, just about the smiliest 5 month old around! She was so wide eyed and happy the whole time, and more than once I caught her making funny faces at her reflection in my lens ;0) She’s such a happy little girl, and you can tell she is the center of her parents world. They completely adore her and I could see so much joy in the little moments of the three of them sitting together making Ellie smile. Have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE photographing families?!? :0) Bethany and Matt, thanks for sharing your sweet girl with me for the afternoon! Can’t wait to see the three of you again soon!
I love moments like this when I’m close enough and they can see their reflection in the lens :0) She was so fascinated with my camera!
a little tummy time! this one makes me laugh every time :0) I asked Bethany where they spend the majority of their time, she said it was right here playing with Ellie on her bedroom floor :0) this is her happy dance :0) Even Ellie loves reading a good book: these next two are definitely my favorites from the day: but oh man, I really love these next ones of her little naked belly too: most definitely a favorite: apparently toes are her favorite snack ;0) then we bundled up and headed outside for a few minutes at the end of the session: and right here in this moment, Ellie started sticking out her tongue for the first time when she smiles! So funny that I was there to catch it! i’ll end with one more favorite of Ellie and her mama :0)
[…] in 2011 I got to meet sweet Eleanor… and look how much she has grown since then! these days she’s also added the job title […]
Lovely photos of Ellie, Matt & Bethany
Sooooooo cute!
What great pictures! I love the ones of you guys reading together. And her red baby peacoat is adorable!
These are some great pictures! I especially like the one of her reading the book.
I see Midge in those little eyes, or is it the smile? The photos are delightful to see. Quality and emotional warmth!
Such beautiful pictures,they belong in a magazine!
The Ellie gallery has just reached us here in Australia – what a cutie!! Those eyes are going to bowl the boys over in years to come!! Love to all the family.
For Jessica Smith –
Nice work not only on the photos but on the order in which they’re presented. The first one is a REAL attention-getter; the second one tells me the next time you take this kid’s picture will be as a fashion model – those eyes are just fabulous. Also liked the shots of Ellie playing with the stuffed animal & (my favorite) all three sitting on the bed reading books.
Congrats to everyone on the presentation.

Too cute. Love the photos – the variety and quality are amazing.
My favorites are the little family on the bed – with wedding photo on the wall – seems it was yesterday they were dancing at their wedding – now what a great family of 3! Lucky baby to be so cherished.
These are so much fun!!!
Great photos! She looks like so much fun! I wanna play too!
These people are related to me, no wonder they are so smart and cute. I am so proud to be the grand uncle of such a personable child. looking into her face just tells me she is going to be a great success in life. May she live long and prosper.
Sneaking little peeks at these pictures kept a smile on my face all day yesterday — even when I was still up working at 1:00 AM! Thanks for doing such a fantastic job!
Fantastic. Some of the best I’ve seen.
Love the black and white photos and the various depth of field shots!
Ellie is adorable, but Bethany and Matt are running a close second…
her happy dance reminds me of nate’s friday dance :)
Adorable photos!!!
Just wonderful pictures. What a cutie Ellie is!
GrandMummy loves the photos! Only problem is going to be how to decide which ones to buy. They are all SO cute.
