Analeis, Richard & coming soon...Lyla May

Here's the rest of my favorite maternity shoot ever (I can say that...lol). I feel like they're a little on the serious side, considering Analeis's natural personality, but I still love them. In all reality, her pregnancy hasn't exactly been a bed of roses. Lyla May is totally making her work for this one. But I just love her name. It's totally adorable. Now we eagerly await her arrival and the newborn shoot to follow... Yeah!

So now we made a quick outfit change, but then struggled to find a parking spot downtown and ended up running out of light and warmth. But we still got a few more casual shots...

Anonymous said...: Great job on this shoot! You really made great use of the backgrounds we found. You have such a good eye in using things, like the berries on the tree, in the foreground and making them artsy.
And to the Larsens, I can't wait for Lyla!; January 21, 2009 at 3:47 PM

ELIZABETH TAYLOR FRANDSEN PHOTOGRAPHY

What if you woke up one day and realized you had two passions in life: your family and your photography. And you weren’t willing to let one or the other go. Well, let me tell you. The time on your phone would brightly glare out, 4:13 am. You’d wonder why you were awake. Oh, that’s right. Your baby still doesn’t sleep through the night.

What if the next time you checked your phone, still awake mind you, it said, 5:17 am. You’d again question your not sleeping awake status. But oh, that’s right. You can’t turn your creative little mind off and it’s always on photography.

You know what your husband is dreaming about.

It’s not photography.

So you slip out of bed to squeeze in a few uninterrupted hours of design time. Then, like clock-work, your family comes alive, oh say around 7:14. (Well Ella wakes up then, Jordan’s a minute behind, because seriously, who sets their alarm for :14 anything?)

By noon you’re beat. Exhausted. This is madness you think. And then you realize it’s nap time. Suddenly, all the world is well. You lay down next to your angelic daughter (all children resemble angels when sleeping) and think how lucky you are to have the best of both worlds, madness included. No studio hours to keep, no baby sitters to pay. Just you. Your family, your business. At home. Loving Life.

It works for me.

Thanks for stopping by and welcome to my life.
