Eli was a little character, after waiting for him to wake up so he could get his outfit on I was expecting a grumpy little cub. The last thing he would want is to smile for the camera, but I was wrong. It always makes my job easier when you have an enthusiastic parent entertaining the child and making the child smile. You can see from the shots we used a few props like the number one, some balloons, and also a mini chalkboard which I had fun designing myself.
The wind that day was very strong and not ideal for the balloons, but we made it work and got some great images before the wind and balloons almost blew poor Eli away.
