Julia :: Newborn

Welcome to this big ole world, Julia!! She did wonderful for her newborn session last week. What a little beauty! She gave us some smiles too, which is always fun :) Looking forward to watching this princess grow over the upcoming year. She is cousins with Josie, another cutie that I photograph! Thankful for word of mouth recommendations, I’ve been advertisement free for over a year now. Very grateful for the referrals :)

Stella :: 9 Months

Tuesday, June 5, 2012 Posted in Children

Stella is such a cutie! She did great for her 9 Month session, loved all the sweet summery outfits that her Mommy brought along. We took these at Rivertown Heritage Park. I shot there a good bit last week, everyone seems to love that area :) So be on the lookout for lots of pictures from this location soon!

Jared & Lauren :: Engagement

Friday, June 1, 2012 Posted in Engagements

What an honor it is to photograph Men in uniform! I was excited when Lauren contacted me about shooting her Engagement session! She wanted a mix of French Quarter photos and then some at the D Day Museum with Jared in uniform. We had such a fun day walking around and they even stopped at a cute little bar to grab a drink. Always makes for fun photos! You can’t deny the love between this adorable couple. Thank you both for having me photograph this special time. Thank you Jared for serving our country- you are a hero!

Aubrey :: 1 Year

Thursday, May 31, 2012 Posted in Children

I was so excited when Jessica contacted me about photographing Aubrey’s 1 Year Session! I shot Jessica and her husband Sean’s Wedding back in 2009. We took these last week at Rivertown Heritage Park. Aubrey has such a little personality, love the mix of serious and smiling. Jessica made Aubrey’s outfits and I swear they look like they are from a children’s boutique! They were so adorable!! Loved her smash cake too, I always enjoy 1 year sessions :) Happy Jess and Sean jumped in for a few!!
