Benton :: 3 Years

Benton is Three!! Seems like yesterday I was photographing his newborn session, he was one of the first newborn shoots that I ever did :) It’s amazing to think back on! I had fun with Benton and his Mom, Lisa for his session. Three is an age where you just run after them and hope for some smiles! I happy how these turned out, Benton is such a cutie!

Here are some favs:

Danny & Sylvia :: Maternity

I was thrilled when I received an email from Sylvia telling me the good news that she was expecting! I had so much fun photographing her Bridals and Wedding, that I couldn’t wait for this shoot! :) She is so beautiful and is truly glowing in these Maternity photos. So many of my past couples have been coming to me for Maternity and Baby photos, that surely makes me happy. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about how lucky I am to have this job. Spending time with people and capturing special moments in their lives is a wonderful feeling. I can’t wait to photograph their daughter when she arrives!! :)

Here are some I loved:

Ryan :: 3 Months

This little cutie is already 3 months! He did great and even decided to take a little snooze towards the end of our session, haha!! Too funny! He wore his Daddy’s tie for a few photos which was adorable! Looking forward to Ryan’s upcoming sessions! Here are some sweet ones :)

Hannah :: Senior

Hannah is from Chicago! Her family was in town visiting and decided to shoot her Senior pictures here in the French Quarter :) I had a great time photographing this session, I’m also glad that her Mom and 3 sisters decided to jump in for a few, too! Loved her outfits!

Here are some favs:

Caroline :: 6 Months

I can’t get over how big Caroline is getting! She gave us so many smiles for her 6 month session :) Too cute!! Loved her little outfits, too!
