Chicago Landing & Baby Portrait thanks to Real Baby!

Shondi, Jacob & little Arli just moved recently from Chicago to Boulder. What a happy coincidence that they received a gift certificate for my services from Boulder's newest baby boutique: Real Baby. Arli is about the most rad 13 month old I've met, thanks to her mom's excellent punk style and her father's t-shirt company: http://www.threadless.com/.

We started off pretty shy. But that's what mommies are for.

So out comes a favorite book. And here is why I love my very fast camera and my trigger finger. This series was captured in less than 10 seconds. Arli was a bit stingy with her smiles. But that's OK with me!

A little "break" from the very stressful photo shoot. Except I snuck in a shot!And this smile last about half a second! This is the outfit I want. Bad.

Arli and Bunny are not getting along very well today. Flirting for candy corn. AFTER I had packed up the camera and she finally pulled out all her sass. I couldn't believe it.
