Meet Ellie—our first model profile!

VIEW OUR EASTER PHOTO GALLERY TO SEE MORE PHOTOS OF ELLIE!

Our first model profile and I couldn't have started with a sweeter little girl. She is 5 years old. I can't say enough good things about this little girl. She is my new neighbor and she is a delight (actually, her entire family is awesome!). She took the most perfect pictures and I didn't have to coach her at all. Her beauty and personality came through in every single shot.

I sent a little questionaire to her mom and these were Ellie's answers.

1. If you could pick any name for your own, what would it be?
"Sarah because it's cute"

2. What would you like to be when you grow up and why?
"A Mom. So I can stay home and come visit you a lot."

3. What accessory makes you feel beautiful? (lip gloss, earrings, shoes, sparkly stuff, a smile...)
"Lip gloss because it makes your lips smell pretty."

4. Do you have a favorite baby doll or stuffed animal? What is their name?
"My American Girl Doll, she looks just like me and her name is Sally."

5. Who is your favorite person in your family?
"Gavin, Daddy, and Mommy. Not Hadley because she always fights me in the bathtub."

6. What is your most favorite thing to do for fun? 
"Of Course it's playing with my friends"

I also had mom, write a short, descriptive paragraph describing her sweet daughter. I find such beauty in a parent's description of their child. This one is no exception.

Ellie was a dream come true. I always wanted a daughter and she was my first. She is such a sweet girl with an incredibly big heart. She is very compassionate and loves to make people feel good. She is the entertainer in the family. She loves to sing, dance, and put on a show. Her big eyes and smile always light up a room. And we can't imagine our lives without her. She is such a blessing to us!

Thank you to the Morgan family for letting us have your daughter for the morning. She was perfect. For more pictures of our photoshoot, go to the Easter gallery.

about "Meet our models"

Last year, I posted on our facebook page that I was looking for models. I was overwhelmed with the response. So much so, that I put them all in a folder and fretted on what to do. I use my children a lot. It is easy for me. I can dress them, take them to a location, and take pictures. If the pictures don't turn out, then I have only wasted my time. I am not a professional photographer. Once I get the pictures home, there is a lot of editing that occurs to make them somewhat presentable. We can't afford a professional photographer so it is left to me. Anyway, I got so many cuties that my goal this year was to use as many as I could. That may sound like a silly goal, but it is big for me. It means that I have to be organized, scout locations, and try desperatly not to disappoint anyone who is so excited to be in a photo shoot. It still has to be fun for the kids. My stress can't ruin their fun. So, I scheduled a shoot with 4 little girls—two of my own and two friend's children. I didn't go to my master list of volunteers. I still got a little freaked by that, so I used my adorable neighbor, Ellie. But, hey, it is a big step for me, I used other children for the shoot. That counts, right?

I decided to do model profiles this year with the girls (and sometimes) boys that I shoot. They camera captures their adorable smiles and sometimes their quirky little habits, but it can't capture their sweet personality and charm. Our first model profile is Ellie. I will post her stoy once all the pics are edited. I can't wait for you to meet her.
