She is almost seven months almost seven months like how close like five days okay can you get casey's eyelashes just sweepers that's fantastic. Okay, I think we're gonna do do you think like she's nice and warm all chose to those who doesn't want the shoes I love these shoes all right what we're gonna do is we're gonna set up with a different look we're going to use that black gray thing and um we're gonna have to just kind of plop you guys down and do like a little bit of a changing um would you mind laying flat on the ground with a pillow underneath you and the up here that's nice. I think we're gonna start with something funky like that. Okay. All right let's, come over here please. Can you? Juliana pardon? Is there blanket what we have ...

for blanket gets through the line very often if I have a blanket with a baby and it's not exactly the colors that would go with the outfit um all I do is just know that I'm into a couple of those shots in black and white and then take the the blanket out it doesn't stop me from using it all right so we're gonna go over here thank you I think I think what you had it the wide side on the ground is wonderful day eh okay good and then we're gonna try nico I'm not putting on the other side all right then we're gonna try doing um a little bit of this how does she normally feel laying down depends all right all right so let me just show you what I'm envisioning first before I make you go into the effort but what one of these I'm thinking that would be really interesting depending on how she's doing is you would be like this that's do you're just gonna break what's up we're gonna diffuser right there for that light so it's not so bright on you and then we're gonna have a juliana actually facing in that way and so do your head in her head and we're just going to see if we could snuggle around a little bit make it work um if you feel more comfortable you put a second pillow here so she's completely on a pillow and we'll have somebody over there just in case she rolls a little bit all right good so here I'll hold her first baby hello baby hello. Okay, so come right down there okay uh beautiful and then to make ever take your hair and pull it over let's pull the diffuser up right away so we don't have any squinting yes that's it exactly um and then did me a favor try if you're laying back there trying to put your chin up just a hair more than you normally would and then we're gonna have you looking over this way yes beautiful you look great.
