Ellie Elise | 17 Days Old | Pittsburgh, PA Newborn Photographer

Even though she slept for most of the session, Ellie woke up right before our prop pose and couldn't be settled back to sleep. So this pose was completely unplanned and a great example of how my "plan" for poses always needs to be flexible.
