Is there any better way to start the new year than with a sweet newborn? I think not!
Meet adorable little Ellis, all of 13 days old:
Mom specifically requested shots that captured their love for their little guy. I think we succeeded!
Mom also brought along her childhood radio flyer wagon – which had been lovingly restored for little Ellis. You all KNOW I can’t resist a wagon!
Jaime and Eric: Thank you so very much for sharing your little sweetheart with me. It was a pleasure and the perfect way to kick off the new year!
(A note to the photographers who read the blog: With the exception of the macro image (#2), all images were shot with the new Canon 5D Mark ii.)

ali hohn - What a beautiful little baby. The photos are very beautiful. You totally captured the love and I love the wagon!
John Masotti - Thank you for the beautiful pictures. You have captured our new little snug bug. I hope to see some open eyes… Jimmy I’m sure you never thought how beautiful that wagon could look… Great job on the wagon and even a better job by Jaime and Eric… Pops
Christie Yencho - Jaime & Eric,
What a beautiful boy! Congratulations to you and to both set of grandparents. It is wonderful to be able to watch our “babies” having babies. Love to you all
michele - so, i have to ask … my pix with the mark II tends to have blown out highlights, regardless of the settings i use and the mode. is the sensor just so overly advanced from my 20d that i’m too heavy-handed with it? how do you meter with yours to keep the skin from being too “hot”?
*** Lisa *** - John, you betcha we do! We got it all with sweet little Ellis!
Michele – I found out very quickly in practice with the 5Dii that the meter is *way* more accurate than the one in the 5D (and I assume the 20d). Whereas with the 5D I always had to overexpose by a stop or two, with the 5Dii it resulted in blown shots – so I’m metering dead-on, rather than over. Do you have your display set to show the blown highlights and histogram? If not, change it – I don’t even look at the image when I chimp, I’m looking at the histogram to see how the exposure looks. HTH!
Karen Greenblat - WOW! Those are too beautiful!! You all look amazing……..what a beautiful family.
Andrea - Jaime and Eric, He is so precious! These pictures are absolutely beautiful. You two make a perfect baby! Love them. Thank you for sharing with us!!!

Susie - Happy New Year, Lisa! I was wondering how high your ISO got in these images- how does the camera handle the noise?
Cathy - EJ is just beautiful. Love every minute of this time it goes by fast. You can see the love in both of your faces. Enjoy and as Pop Pop would say “God Bless you”
Love,
Aunt Cathy
