Celeste recently shot this sweet family, Brooks and Kristina Norman, and their very new little bundle of joy… Eloise Slade. I came along on the shoot because two brainstorming creative heads are always better than one, and I got to spend time with my girl as well. Brooks answered the door of their home with Baby Eloise in hand… and I mean that almost literally as her perfect little head fits perfectly in his big man hand. We spent some time visiting with Brooks and Eloise before Kristina came down and it was obvious that Dad is totally smitten with his little girl. There is really nothing sweeter than a masculine guy with a baby… wouldn’t you agree?

Brooks, Kristina and Eloise are such a beautiful family. Eloise is their first born and the connection between the three of them is a wonderful thing to behold.

Kristina had collected some cute vintage suitcases and we just had to incorporate them into Baby Eloise’s first photo shoot.

Every girly little sweetie needs a tutu… I mean that goes without saying. Eloise wears hers well.

It’s those connections between people who love each other that makes what we do so worthwhile. These are the kinds of photos that will be in families for years to come. It is always an honor to be a part of people’s milestone moments like these… and it is always a reminder of what really matters. So glad my daughter and I get to work on these kinds of projects together. In this case she shoots and I edit and we create something meaningful.

It is so apparent that Brooks is completely enamored with his lovely wife and adorable little girl. I think you three have a beautiful adventure ahead with Eloise Slade! Enjoy every moment! Celeste and I wish you every happiness and we just loved working with you.
