  • The Rousselle’s :: Family

    My was excited when my photographer friend Jamie Rousselle Heyl contacted me about a session several months back! She was interested in giving her parents a photo session as a Christmas gift! There’s only so many times that Jamie can put her camera on auto timer to try and get a good picture of the entire gang ;)

    This session included Jamie’s Mom and Dad (Linda and Joey), Jamie’s family (Jamie, Wade, Hayden and Emelyn – 6 and 3) and Jamie’s sister’s family (Amanda, Chad, Ethan, Adalyn and Avery – 4, 2 1/2, and 11 Months)! It’s always tough to get a big group with small children together, but I think we were able to get some great shots!

    We took these at Audubon Park and we just beat the rain! Thank you Jamie for the honor of photographing your beautiful family!!

  • Erin :: Maternity

    Let me just tell you.. this was probably the coldest session I’ve ever photographed! This group surely knew how to roll with the punches when it came to the weather, I think it was around 34 degrees that morning! I had a great time photographing Erin’s Maternity session, it was nice to add her family in for some, too! I am looking forward to meeting her little man next month when he gets here! He will be joining the Grow With Me club- can’t wait!!

    Just a reminder to expectant Mom’s… please get in touch with me well in advance to book your newborn shoots- I’ve been having to turn alot of shoots away lately because of waiting too late to book. Right now I’m booking for late June – July is almost full.

    Here are some of my fav’s from Erin’s Maternity session!!

     

  • The Areaux’s :: Family

    The Areaux Family lives out of town, but they were here visiting family for a couple of weeks! They are related to recent client of mine who told them about me :) I love getting the opportunity to meet people from all over!! We headed to Audubon Park to take these and their little girl Ellie did amazing! She is such a happy baby, we had lots of fun! Here are a few of my favs from their session:

  • The Naccari’s :: Family

    I’ve enjoyed getting to know The Naccari Family over the years! They are friends with a big group of families that also come to me throughout the year to have their photos taken as well! We took these last week at Audubon Park and it was a wee bit cold! Our weather has been so goofy lately, I am not sure what to think! I am looking forward to the warmer weather. As much as I like wearing my tights, boots and scarves this time of year – I’m craving the nice spring/summer weather! I had fun with this group, always great to photograph familiar faces :)

  • The Amato’s :: Family

    So much to say about this session, where do I begin! This is my beautiful family that lives in New York. My cousin Tre married a girl named Jennifer and they had two gorgeous children. Yes, her name is Jen and she makes the 3rd JEN AMATO! ;) There’s myself, my sister in law, and then the Jen that lives in New York! We are so thankful to get to see them 2-3 times a year when they visit us here in Louisiana. Usually over the summer and then again at Christmas time! Tre & Jennifer’s kids are always so sweet and truly are a joy to be around. I was so honored to photograph their family while they were here in town for the Holidays. Jen always looks amazing with her cute little New York fashion, Alice is always in her pretty dresses and Tre & Jen joke about how little Jacob only wants to wear his sweats! Thankfully, he dressed up for his shoot and looked quite handsome!

    I really enjoyed photographing my cousins while they were here in town, it was such a beautiful Friday! Tre, Jen, Alice & Jacob – thank you for allowing me to capture such a priceless time in your life. The precious bond between Tre & Jen as parents and the love for their children really shined through in this session. Alice & Jacob are at such a tender and innocent age that it makes me want to tear up! They have such a great sibling bond! While editing I couldn’t help but have a smile on my face, I would share every single photo if I could, I loved all of them!

    Once again, I am reminded how blessed I am to be able to capture life on camera. A gift that I could never tell God enough how appreciative I truly am. My career has opened my eyes to so much within this big old world. Photography is what has help mold me into who I am today. I see life through a different set of eyes now, I’m so thankful for the little things.

    As always, here are some of my favs:
