Jonathan & Crystal :: Anniversary

Crystal contacted me about photographing her 4 year Anniversary session at Tchoupitoulas Plantation – the venue where she and her hubby were married! I love the scenery here, it was so cute! Here are some of my favorites from their session, I had a great time photographing this sweet couple last week. We had a beautiful Spring afternoon!

Henry & Dixie :: 9 Months

Love photographing these two cuties! 9 months is such a fun age :) And check out the crawfish fest towards the end… this was a first for me to shoot and it was just adorable!! We took these at Rivertown.. here are some favorites:

The Herbert’s :: Family

I photographed The Herbert Family at City Park on a pretty Saturday morning! This was a large session with the aunt/uncle, grandparents, their 2 children/ spouses and then the 5 grand daughters! The girls were just adorable! I can see these 5 are going to be veryyy close when they get older! I’m sure they are going to have so much fun growing up! I think we were able to get some really sweet shots, there’s one in there that has a few of the girls having a melt down. I love those photos every now and then. Shows the reality of it all :) This family will look back at that photo years from now and laugh! Here are some favorites from my session with them:

The Leber’s :: Family

I had such a great time photographing this sweet family! I went to High School with Ashley so it was wonderful to see her again and meet her husband and little boy! He was ALL SMILES and just precious! We took these over at Rivertown Heritage Park, which is one of the 4-5 places that I shoot at regularly :) Here are some favorites from the shoot:

The Tafaro’s :: Family
