When this little girls mom started sending me photos of what she had in mind for this session it was very obvious she was drawn to the “golden hour” light.  The hour before sunset and the hour after sunrise are simply magical.  It is warm and golden, flattering and not harsh.  There are many photographers who will not shoot natural light photography any other time of the day!  I wasn’t sure if she was going to go with the idea of a 7:00-7:30am start time (With a 3 year old!) but she was COMMITTED!!!  It was SO worth it!!!  The light in these first few is just gorgeous and Ella Brooke looks like a china doll to me <3

This photo shoot was in honor of her birthday!  Her mom and I are good friends and I can tell you first hand that Ella Brook is smart and spunky, beautiful and determined.  Everything a true southern girl is made of!  Happy birthday Ella Brooke, you are beautiful in every way :-)
