Ella...is 2! (Chester County Children's Photographer)

I love this little girl (and her parents too) and it's not because she can recite the whole starting line up of the Phillies or because my daughter loves playing with her, but because she has the best personality. She is one of those kids you just can't help but smile when you are around. She lights up the room with her energy.
What a great time we had last weekend getting pictures for her 2nd birthday. She was SO into it and didn't mind her mommy changing her outfit a bunch of times or me making suggestions. In fact, she just used her creativity to make it her own. She pretended to be Diego rescuing a baby jaguar when I sent her into the tall grass and pretended she was in the rain forest when I sent her under a large tree. She was making sound effects and all...too cute!

Enjoy the preview of this awesome little 2 year old!

When I was still teaching I had a student teacher named Abby. We hit it off right away and are great friends today. I was so thrilled when she told me that she was having a baby. Now, unbelievably that "baby" is ONE!
Last weekend we got together at Bellevue Park in Wilmington, DE to do Ella's first photo shoot. She has just started walking and was so cute toddling around the park. She desperately wanted to go swimming with the geese. Fortunately, we were able to find some other interesting activities to distract her.
It was great to spend some time with good friends and get some precious hugs from sweet Ella.

Abby, Luke and Ella...thank you for a beautiful afternoon and enjoy your preview! You guys did so well, that I had a really hard time deciding which shots to post.

"One" Cute Birthday Girl (Chester County Children's Photographer)

Little Miss Ella turned one recently and her parents threw her a huge party at Bellevue Park in Wilmington, DE. It was a beautiful day and everyone was enjoying great food and the fantastic surroundings. Ella seemed to enjoy all of the attention as people took turns showering her with kisses and hugs.
Cake time was a huge hit and she not only had a great time digging right in, she decided that her mommy needed to get a little messy too. So cute!
First birthdays are such a fun occasion and my family and I were so thrilled to get to celebrate with Ella and her parents.
