I walked into my new friend, Elizabeth's, apartment and felt like I was walking onto someone's Pinterest board.  I asked her if everything she did was from her own (amazing) creativity or if she was a Pinterest addict like myself.  She said it was all from her brain and she's not even a member of the site.  It was beautiful, organized and I knew I needed to keep her around to help me figure out the chaos that I call my home.  So, I was ecstatic when she said that we could photograph her very beautiful baby boy, Jonah, for his first birthday in their apartment.  (And maybe many more portraits after that, Elizabeth, can I use your home for a studio?  Lol...just kidding!)  

I haven't photographed a one year old in a long while, so I forgot how hard it is to catch them.  There was one photo we wanted of Jonah standing next to a number one we made out of blocks, all I have is that ONE picture it went a little like this...

Me:  Ok, I'm ready...put him down!

Elizabeth:  You sure?

Me:  Yep!

She puts him down, jumps out of the way and the shutter opens and closes at 1/500th, Jonah is on his bottom...All in less than 5 seconds!

He's such a great baby though...a lot of smiles for Mommy and a fun morning spent with half of the Kipp family.  Enjoy their photos!

He needed a break from modeling. Can you say "baby blues"???

Ciao Amiche!!
