Baby Ellie and Family

Seems like I'm going on a baby shooting spree lately...figuratively speaking of course. This time, the request to have baby memories came from Ivan and Winnie. Truth be told, this is my first shoot of other people's kid other then my family's. And it was a chance to test my prowess with my spanking new Nikon 35mm lens, which I purposely bought for this shoot.

We started the shoot with some shots inside the house before moving outdoors.

It was tough getting this kid to smile today. She was grumpy as hell. Even my dirty jokes don't work on her. :p
Nevertheless, we tried our best. I had a host of backup entertainers working to make her crack!

Only Mummy manage to make her smile...somewhat.

The "NooOoo....I'm a girl....." look :p

We moved back indoors when the sun came high.

WARNING! LOTS OF CUTENESS AHEAD.

What's a shoot without some mono, right?

Ivan and Winnie, it was a pleasure working with you. Thanks for the chance to shoot your family and to let me have an excuse to buy a new lens. :) Maybe we can do it again next time when Ellie turns 3 and actually understand my dirty jokes. I'm kidding. :)
