As we approach the end of 2009, I want to share some photos from a few more of our favorite shoots from this year. This post and the next one feature photos of Eleanor, an utterly charming one-year-old redhead. We spent part of an afternoon at Natural Bridges park with Eleanor and her parents back in October. She wasn’t so sure about the whole photo shoot thing at first, but with some help from her mom and dad, she warmed up for the camera.

Smiling or scowling, Eleanor is completely adorable. From time to time, her parents misted her with a spray bottle full of water and the result was always hilarious. This first post shows some of her goofiest expressions.
