Eliana is TWO! Time really is just flying by, huh. And there's nothing we can do about it.

Eliana's mother wanted something very simple. Just a white backdrop with a cute Elmo dress. I said, "No way!" And I got this Sesame Street themed backdrop that came just in time for the shoot. Eliana didn't end up wearing the Elmo dress, but this cute outfit she wore matched the backdrop as well. Eliana's 2nd Birthday ShootStamford, CT

When I did her first birthday shoot last year, Eliana looked just like her Daddy. Just one year later, I can see Mommy Nessa's face coming through. Genetics is a funny thing. Eliana's 2nd Birthday ShootStamford, CT

Eliana changed into her second dress and gave me THE most beautiful and playful smiles as Mom played peek-a-boo behind my head. Eliana's 2nd Birthday ShootStamford, CT

The crazy thing about photographing little children is being able to catch them quickly. You have to anticipate their next move (kind of like when you're shooting a wedding) or else you could miss something so precious. Eliana was on her belly for literally .2 seconds and just so happened to snap as her little foot kicked up. You can tell I'm not lying because if you look closely, her foot is very clearly in motion. When I saw what I captured, I gasped. How cute is she?? Eliana's 2nd Birthday ShootStamford, CT

I didn't come to the shoot with any expectations, but Eliana far surpassed whatever they would have been haha. Great job, cutie pie!

I hope you had an AMAZING birthday party today, Eliana. I'm so sorry we weren't able to make it. I'll make up for it somehow :) Happy birthday!!
