Elliana | One-Year Portraits | Fossil Gorge, Coralville, IA

Elliana’s one-year portraits at Fossil Gorge were complete cuteness overload. So much cuteness!! We could not get enough of her adorable/hysterical expressions, gorgeous bright eyes, and all those amazing outfits. Keep scrolling to see the highlights!

We absolutely adore this sunflower and lace romper. So, so sweet!

It was a very hot, sunny afternoon; we wanted to take a dip in the fountain, too.
Do you see those those teeth poking out? Love! Apparently Elliana was dealing with some fierce teething pain. We honestly never would have guessed — she was so happy and relaxed for her entire portrait session!

Just trying to share a cool rock with her friend behind the big shiny camera.

Elliana is THIS CLOSE to being ready to walk on her own.

We gave this pretty heart-printed outfit maybe 15 seconds, due to the summer heat. Plenty of time to get these adorable shots, plus one big yawn.

Next up, overalls. This is such a classic summertime toddler look. Elliana wore two different bows with this look, because why not?!

If you can’t decide between a big statement bow and a teeny tiny bow, rock ’em both!

That grin!! Elliana’s preferred mode of transport is to bear crawl on her hands and feet. The slightly rocky terrain of Fossil Gorge, with a puddle here and there, didn’t slow her down one bit.
