Miss Ellie

Last Thursday I got to photograph a sweet little girl named Ellie. Ellie, her grandma, my dog Bela, and I went to a park near her grandma's house. Why did I bring my dog with me on a photoshoot? Good question. Ellie's grandma gave ma a heads up when we schedualed hte shoot that Ellie can be a bit shy and I might have to really work for a smile. I asked if Ellie liked dogs bacause I have a friendly thearpy dog who would love to tag along. She thought this was a great idea. Bela was well behaved and worked magic as only she can. Ellie was relaxed and as smiley as any five year old I've ever shot. Here are my favorites of the shoot. (The missing tooth is the icing on the cake of her beautiful smile)
