You all may remember Abigail who I photographed late last August shortly after she was born. Yes, she was such a dreamy newborn for me to photography…full of beauty and just amazing all around. Some of the photos from her session are among some of the most memorable photos in my portfolio. I owe a lot of credit to her parents who were amazingly patient and overly supportive of helping me try to pull off all the creative ideas I had. Her father, Ed Cross, is a former student of mine and is also an exceptionally talented designer and artist. After taking Abigail’s photos last year he expressed an interest in drawing a photo I had taken of Abigail for their family. Of course it’s always exciting to know when I’ve inspired someone that much that they want to do something more creatively with my work so I agreed and have enjoyed watching Ed has he’s shared progress of this drawing. He finally finished it recently and so I was thrilled to finally get together with Ed, Diana & Abigail to see the drawing in person. (here’s a link to the original photo)
Of course there was no way I could resist capturing a few more memorable moments with their sweet little girl Abigail. She’s now ten months old and has grown so much since last August when I took her newborn photos.
Abigail has beautiful red hair and amazing blue eyes. As you can see…she has a serious side that definitely was present if I had the camera pointed at her for too long.
I always hesitate taking photos of the older little ones unclothed but most parents are interested in photos like this. In this case, it’s Abigail’s cute little pudgy rolls make this photo that much more priceless.
Yes, something tells me she won’t have these pudgy baby rolls much longer…she’s very active and moved around quite a bit during their visit.
It’s always a treat to get to see the little ones I’ve photographed as a newborn…it reminds me how fast time flies and how quickly they grow. As you can see Abigail has grown into such a beautiful happy little girl.
Ed & Diana thanks again for stopping by and letting me capture a few more moments with Abigail. I hope your friends and family enjoy the photos of your sweet little girl…you’ve definitely been blessed!
