I think that’s what little Aleah was trying to tell us when I showed up for her photo session today.
Her parents were in town a while back from Kentucky and had a maternity shoot (one of my favorites to this day - the colors and light were awesome).
Unfortunately, they weren’t able to make it back here while Aleah was still a newborn, but still wanted some photos when they did make it back to Fort Smith. I will say that at 8 weeks old, she definitely knows what she likes and doesn’t like. Apparently photography sessions fall in the latter category.
In between the occasional 5 minute cat-naps and the feeding and the fussing, I was actually able to capture this little cutie giving a big ol’ smile to both mom and dad.
Now, a few favorites…

ps.
that tutu, it was originally her mom’s…
