Time for some updated family pictures and I think our photographer Rachel Manzke did a fabulous job! She really captured some silly, cute, classic, and sweet pictures of Elsie. Our session was right near where we live in Olbrich Park near the Biergarten. Lovely slightly cloudy day near sunset. I was hoping to catch the skyline in some of the pics but with the focusing it kind of got lost. Oh well, still a great way to capture the here and now!
Rachel did such a great job getting Elsie to warm up to her and make her smile. She had a squeak toy in her pocket so when she knelt down it would squeak and make Elsie laugh. Then Rachel would run in and touch the swans on her skirt and make them "squeak", then she put a chicken on her head and shoulders, then a stuffed cow. Elsie was in love! It was so smart for Rachel to do Elsie's individual shots first while she still had an attention span. I almost started crying when she was sitting there on her own so nicely with her feet crossed and her hands on her knees. Love!
And I really wanted the photographer to get some with Elsie's favorite doll, her "baby", Libby. Those turned out so great even though that's the last thing we did. How am I going to pic just a couple to print out and frame?!
