The Talley’s :: Family

Tuesday, January 22, 2013 Posted in Family

I’ve been friends with Melanie for almost 4 years now! We met back when I was planning my Wedding, I used her Video services and I LOVE my wedding video! Since then, we’ve remained friends and often lunch and prop shop. She also has a photography business in Covington. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing her family a couple of times and I am obsessed with these new images. I was smiling the whole time while editing. Her girls are so beautiful, we had alot of fun!

Thank you Mel for always being so sweet and for being a wonderful friend to me!! I hope you enjoy these as much as I do :)

Ryan :: 9 Months

Ryan was too cute last week for his 9 month session, I LOVE all the little beanie hats and outfits. We took these over at Rivertown Heritage Park in Kenner. It’s been months since I’ve been able to photograph there since they always put up a ton of lights during Christmas. I love that little area. Here are some favs from our shoot:

Jeremey & Jenna :: Maternity

Thursday, January 17, 2013 Posted in Maternity

Lot’s of couples & baby bump sessions lately, loving it!! I think it is SO important to get these pictures done before your little one arrives, what a special time :) I can’t wait until I’m showing a little more to get some done of myself soon, too! I’m 15 weeks today!

I had a great time with Jeremy & Jenna last week for their session, they were soo sweet! It was truly a pleasure to photograph them. It was a nice morning, the sun was just starting to peek through the clouds. It wasn’t too cold or warm. They are welcoming a little baby boy soon, look how cute the babies shoes are in the last picture – LOVE!

Here are some favs from the day:
