Sycamore IL Photographers | Ava: 9 Months

Hey everyone! I'm back again, and this time with a gorgeous baby girl! Sweet baby Ava came to see me last month and she is such a little doll. I had no problem getting some big smiles out of her, even towards the end of the session. She was such a trooper, and the best little model! We started with a simple setup for Ava. I like starting with something simple because I have found that it's best not to overwhelm the baby. It's already a different experience for them-- with big lights, props, reflectors, and someone holding a strange black object making weird noises-- it can be a little much at first. Starting with a simple setup lets the baby relax and get the feel of what it's like to be photographed. I also love that with these setups I can focus more on the baby and capturing their real, budding personalities. You can already tell just by looking at these photos that Ava is growing up to be such a spunky, happy little lady. Have a look for yourself!

I love a good smiling photo as much as the next person, but I'm a sucker for this face too. Ava is such a beauty!

At this point she was getting a little tired, but not too tired to smile for me! Also, I made this outfit. So happy with how it turned out!
