. bella .

. it was my first time to meet beautiful little bella and her mommy, and it was my pleasure . we had such a nice time together . bella's going to be 1 in about 3 weeks . she's not quite walking but she is definitely on the go . her mommy picked out this fabulous dress and matching headband on etsy and i don't think bella could have looked any cuter .

. since bella was a girl on the go i resorted to trying new measures . elsie (the dog) got to come in and assist with this session . bella loves dogs . it worked for a while, until assistant elsie started eating the feather boa . (sorry the photo is a little dark, i was in a hurry to catch the moment) . she also was caught nibbling on fake flowers, a butterfly, and who knows what else she had that i didn't notice .

. she kept bella still for a few minutes...totally worth it smelling like dogs for a little while .

:)

. princess bella .

. can you believe she left that tiara on ?

. one of my favorite things about babies is when they have enough chub that they have those little v's in their under arms . bella's were perfect !

. she was such a delight .

. i think this was when i first notice she might be getting tired . although she didn't let it bother her . this expression lasted just for this photo .

. such big beautiful eyes .

. thanks carrie and bella, i enjoyed our time together and hope you love the photos of your beautiful baby girl .
