Lifestyle Session: Ellie | El Cajon, CA | Analisa Joy Photography | San Diego, CA Photographer

Wow, I cannot believe we are approaching Ellie’s one year birthday! Ellie is the daughter of my lifelong neighbor, Marisa. We have grown up together, attended most holidays together, traveled on vacation together, and now we are experiencing new changes such as marriage and children with one another. We are practically family. I remember when Marisa brought Ellie home from the hospital and I could not get over how tiny she was. Being the youngest in my family I did not have much experience with babies and Ellie became my first poopy diaper change. When I got married I moved into the granny flat that was connected to Marisa’s house and I had the joy of watching Ellie learn how to crawl and walk. Ellie is only a month older than my niece, Kylie and their mom’s happen to be childhood best friends. I am excited to watch these two beautiful babies grow up together and I can’t wait to capture their memories along the way. Kylie’s one year session is less than a month away! I hope you all enjoy Ellie’s one year cake smashing birthday session. Marisa found the pinkest cupcake I have ever seen and Ellie loved smashing the frosting practically everywhere except in her mouth. I can’t wait to see what she does with her actual birthday cake. Happy almost birthday Ellie!

Ellie could not wait for me take the picture before dipping her fingers into her cupcake!

Amazing!
