The Talley’s :: Family

I’ve had the honor of photographing this beautiful family several times over the years! Melanie is one of my dearest friends and a fellow photographer. She just recently photographed my family a couple of months ago, so I couldn’t wait to get the opportunity to get some family shots for her!! I love having our lunch dates here in New Orleans or I sometimes take the drive to Mandeville to visit her and go shopping there. I love having our 3 little girls together, so much fun! I headed to Lakefront Mandeville to take these and the lighting was beautiful! I’m so happy after 3 reschedules, the weather was nice for us! Thank you Mel for giving me the chance to photograph your sweet family! You guys are so beautiful and I enjoy seeing your girls grow! There are so many favorites from their session! I love the candid ones and the ones of them just being lovey! So sweet! I hope you love them Mel, always fun!!!

Avery :: 2 Years

I photographed beautiful Avery in the French Quarter! She was a ball of energy for her 2 year session. I spent much time capturing her little free spirit running around as she explored the streets and buildings! We got some cute smiles and candid shots of Avery! Here are some favorites:
