I was beyond thrilled when Frances of Bella Ariana contacted me about working with her for some images of her Valentine’s Day tutus.  Head on over to check them out and you will see why!  They are so well-made and so FULL.  I’ve never seen one this full, it is fabulous!  You can choose from predesigned tutus, or design your own completely – perfect for coordinating colors for a birthday party, portrait session, etc.  Emory was none too pleased about modeling for me (she is rarely pleased when my camera comes out these days), but between me, her Dot, and a red heart sucker, we managed to get a bunch of great shots to choose from.  This was also a good reminder for me about why I do not photograph children once they are mobile using my studio set-up, it is just not big enough to handle those little squirmy worms.   Look for a post very soon about the natural light studio set-up I used for this shoot – I get a lot of questions and plain old curiosity about this from photographers and clients alike, so I’m going to spell it all out for you later!  Thank you Frances for the opportunity to photograph your beautiful products!  Make sure to “Like” Bella Ariana on Facebook here - go leave her some love and let her know I sent you!

And before anyone asks, I did not make her “pose” like that … she was doing her leg exercises and I caught her in the “down-up” pause.   The things you have to come up with to make a two-year old stay still on a 5 foot space …
