I had the pleasure of photographing my childhood friends little girl recently! Ali, Steve and Big Brother Beau welcomed Miss Adele to this big ole’ world just a couple of weeks ago! I think she looks so much like Beau when he was a baby, something about those eyes and lips! Even though I don’t get to see my BFF Ali that much, nothing has changed. I can go months without chatting with her and the next time I run into her; it’s the same old friendship we had way back when. We still goof off and make each other laugh. Her kids are a direct reflection of her sweet and bubbly personality. She always has a smile on her face! I could go on for days about how much her friendship means to me and how far we go back, but it might take me a while. haha!

So here is the new addition to the Curtis family…. Adele Phae :)

Big Brother & Sissy!!

What a HAM huh? Love that kid!Yay! Sister is FINALLY here :)Smiling like an angel!Hi there, my eyes are BLUE!Cuteness!Another tiny smile…Easter bunny ears!So sweet! One of my most favs ever!Pretty little thang!Love these too!

I had the pleasure of photographing sweet baby Brody last week. We were able to get a few shots inside with natural light and then we headed outside to get the rest. I loved his baby blue hat and also the Easter bunny ears! Thanks to his parents Katey & Daniel for allowing me to capture their new addition. Brody sure is handsome!

Love baby smiles!! :)Such a cute little guy!

Todays post is very special to me. Ryan & Bridget are my first couple where I’ve photographed their Engagement, Wedding and now Newborn photos. It’s truly been an honor to capture their journey up until this point – I can’t thank them enough for allowing me to be their photographer over the years. I look forward to watching Agnes grow up, she has two sweet parents that love her very much! Bridget often emailed me throughout her pregnancy to say she couldn’t wait for the newborn shoot and was excited about the little hats that she found on etsy for us to use!

Well, last week I took a little trip up to Baton Rouge to photograph one of the most precious, flawless little girls I’ve ever seen. She is just beautiful! It was great to see how well Ryan and Bridget have adapted to being parents in just a few short weeks. Such a blessing!

So, here are some that I LOVED from Agnes Mae’s shoot, she did GREAT!!!

Wide awake in the beginning :)

The little purple flower was too cute!!

These are some of my all time favs of any newborn shoot I’ve done!Seriously? Look at that smile? I could just take her home with me! HAHA!Baby wrinkles :)Smiling for us again!!

These two are just beautiful – Bridget being a MOMMY :)

I had a great time photographing Mallory, she was soo well behaved for me! With the nicer weather, I’m excited to head back outside for my newborn shoots. I have always loved the warm natural light when it’s available. I know her mom Christi has been anxious to see her little peanut’s photos… so here she is!!

Max’s newborn session was shot outdoors which made me really happy! I love when I pull up to the parents house and see lots of interesting things that we’ll be able to use for our backdrops. An older street in New Orleans is always bound to have fun colors and cool things for shoots. I’ve been trying to step outside my box/comfort zone. I feel like I think more creatively when I go somewhere new. Looking forward to sharing a fun engagement session I photographed this week – it was a place my camera had never been before :) Max was such a sweetheart, here are some of my favorites!
