The tricky thing about taking photos with babies is they often have strict nap schedules. I know, because my life is dictated by one right now. So when family photos are involved there are few times in the day they can be done. Noon was the best time for baby Elinor. Most photographers know that is the worst time for photos. But I am so glad I was challenged to do a shoot at noon, because it pushed me to take what I’ve learned and put it into action. And now I’m in love with the results. We found some great spots on a busy Golden Gardens beach in Seattle. I think the things I’m most in love with are the colors that came out of this AND even more, little Elinor. She was so entertaining and cute as can be. Thanks Shordt Family, I had so much fun!
