Introducing :: Elena Marie

This is the shoot that I've been waiting over a month for!! Today I'm introducing you to Elena Marie - my brand new niece! She was born on March 4th up in MN and I was able to drive up this last weekend to see her. Just like her parents and big brother, Elena has a FULL (and I mean FULL) head of dark hair and beautiful olive skin.

It's always so fun to photograph new babies - but especially when they're related to you. :) 

Elena was given a little green dress by a friend of the family, and my sister couldn't wait to use it for the photos. 

BABY FEET! 

I really couldn't get over how much hair this little princess has... it's just so pretty!

Rolls and wrinkles - isn't it funny how they're only adorable on little babies? :) 

Leo kept a close watch on his younger sister the entire time... mostly because he wanted to be in the photos too. :) 

He's pretty obsessed with kissing and holding Elena - SO cute!

My sister seriously looks amazing for having two kids in the past two years.... I hope I look that good when I have kids! :)

I can't believe these two have been married for almost 4 years now... it just seems like yesterday I photographed their wedding! I love that they keep laughing together... :)

So sweet... 

Jose is one proud papa!

So glad I could finally meet her! Congratulations, Mel and Jose! :)
