THE GOOD LIFE IMAGES

It's amazing how different the same location can look during different seasons. I loved the look of the golden straw illuminated in the sunset and the muted tones in the background that made Aanya's dark eyes pop. This little one was as happy as can be. She enjoyed playing in the grass and watching us dance but wasn't so sure about that cake. It was a bit of a hike to climb to the top of this hill for Aanya's session, but we were rewarded with a soft, glowing sunset and warm

Little Miss Ellie showed up several weeks early, but these go-with-the-flow parents were ready for her when she did.
