Ella's 1 yr pictures: the yellow flower edition

So this is my first attempt at Ella's 1 year pictures.  I still have at least 2 sets to do, as she needs to model her tutu that her Nuna (my mom) made her & I also need to put her in the fun pink party dress I bought for her birthday party.  I had forgotten how difficult it is to photograph a 1 year old, but they are tough.  I had this ideal for her pics in my head for a while & I had difficulty finding the perfect yellow field of flowers as most were too hard to get to with 2 little ones in tow or they were out in the blaring sun (now, I'll admit I'm a decent photographer for an amateur, but I'm not that good---I knew I'd never get anything good from that scenario).   So we drove around the park near our home until I spied this flower field, well, really it was just a few yellow flowers growing on a bank near a big tree, but the light was right, so I thought we'll try it.  It's so hard to believe our precious Ella will be 1 year old in just 1 week, where did the year go.  It makes me sad that she is a toddler now & not a baby, but I do know that moving forward we will only have more fun with her.  So here's a few pics of our Ella girl to enjoy from our morning at the park in the flower field.  Hope you all have a wonderful day!

The contemplative wonder of a 1 year old...just thought it was pretty

She was laughing at Jessie who was whining about the "doo-doo" or mud on her shoes

Probably the best as far as getting her to look at me, not the best expression, but still a good pic of her

I just love the light, airy nature of this one, those yellow flowers really are pretty as is that baby :)
Different location, but just thought it was cute

Little Chubbers

I thought the way I framed this with flowers was cool

Pretty girl

This is very much an Ella pose, she's so serious sometimes
