Ryan :: 6 Months

I photographed this cutie last week and he did wonderful for his 6 month session!! I loved his Fall outfits and those smiles! Can’t wait to see him again soon for his 9 month session. They all get so big…. so fast!!! :) Here are some of my favs of Ryan’s session:

 

Hello November!

I’ve blogged Monday-Friday for as long as I can remember! This past week has been a bit of a whirlwind so excuse my absence. My best friend gave birth to a beautiful baby boy named Noah Jackson! It was amazing experiencing all this over the past few days with her. Tons of photos have been snapped! Sometimes its nice to slow down a bit and enjoy the beauty going on around me. Thank you to all my clients who’ve been patient with pictures…. it’s been a really busy past two weeks of photographing portrait sessions. I’ll finally get back to editing, blogging and releasing online galleries today. These next couple of months are going to be fun with the Holidays, my Birthday and we have a ton of Showers & Weddings coming up for friends. Looking forward to seeing all my clients for their Nov/Dec sessions :) Just know that I’m working as fast as possible to get things back to you all in a timely manor. Thanks again for all the love and support.. more pics coming soon!

Reed :: 1 Year

You may remember this precious face, he’s been on the blog a few times! Reed is my godchild and I love getting to spend time with him. Just wanna kiss those little cheeks! He looked so cute in his outfits… the smash cake was the best. I swear I laughed all afternoon about it. It needed to be on video – it was hilarious. He totally demolished it in about .5 seconds. Fasted I’ve ever seen any 1 year old do that! Good times! Well here is my little Reedie Boo for his big ONE year session!

 

Mia :: 14 Months

I’ve been friends with The Trans for around 5 years now! We first meet several years ago through NOLA photo workshops and wedding industry stuff. I’ve always loved their work! When I got engaged I knew I wanted Studio Tran to photograph my Wedding! I’m in love with all the beautiful photos they’ve taken of Randy and I over the past several years. We are so thankful to call them our dear friends. We always enjoy our time together… Saint’s games, BBQ’s, girls wine nights, Randy’s ruckus’ rides with the boys, the birthday parties, our trip to the beach. Our little photography crew keeps in touch every day – we are always having fun and being goofy with each other! So lucky to have made so many incredible friends over the years who do what I do! Love yall!

Well Corine asked me a while back to take some photos of their sweet girl… Miss Mia! We had a couple of rainouts and things come up, but last week we finally made it happen :) I have to say it was worth the wait because Mia did amazing. We headed to City Park and she was all smiles… thank you Corine for dancing and singing behind me the whole time. It sure did work!! I hope you guys enjoy the photos… we love your kiddos so much!!

Here are some photos that I just adored from Mia’s 14 month shoot:

 

The Schwin’s :: Family
