Makayla’s 9 Month Studio Pictures
Having just gotten in a bunch of new backdrops I was really excited to do Makayla’s 9 month pictures. She was being a little cranky that day, so I had to distract her. And since she kept trying to crawl away an unintended prop was necessary to keep her still. The pictures were really fun and super colorful. And a few of the other pictur [...]
