Last week I photographed Stephanie and Shane! Stephanie is very close to delivering and she looks great! I am always so happy to photograph somewhere new. Stephanie and Shane live close to me in the River Ridge area so she suggested that we stay around the neighborhood for their session. I loved all the beautiful greenery we stumbled upon between her backyard, her moms backyard and this pretty open area we found. The light was beautiful that day! My favorite part about my job is getting to meet so many different personalities. I really enjoy meeting new people and getting the opportunity to chat while I’m snapping away.

Thank you Steph and Shane for letting me capture such a special time in your lives, I can’t wait to meet the little man when he decides to enter this big ole’ world :)

Here are some of my favs:

A few in the baby’s nursery before heading outside…

That dog was awesome, did whatever I said :) Great model!Love these 2 shots!Sun going down…… fav part of the day!! Gorgeous light!

I can always expect Gia or her Sister, Alicia to do an awesome job when it comes to how they want their portrait sessions to look! You may remember when I photographed Gia’s sister, Alicia’s Engagement photos? Both beautiful girls, the camera loves them! Last week I had the pleasure of photographing this session in City Park. There is this little “honey hole” spot that I found and I am obsessed with it, you can see more of that spot towards the end of the session. I love the overgrown grass, wild flowers and rustic look. We took these in the evening so we were getting great sunlight, too! Jared and John were there to join us, loved their matching outfits. Loved this shoot! My favorite thing is when clients have a “vision” for their shoot, it makes the sessions so much fun :) I’ve been waiting to share these for a while, I couldn’t wait to finish editing them!!

So here is Gia and her baby bump, gorgeous as can be!

I photographed Adam and Heather’s Maternity Session this past weekend. We headed to City Park for the first half of their shoot and then the French Quarter for the rest. These two were adorable together! I can just look at them and tell how great they are going to be as parents. I know they are anxiously awaiting Baby Latson’s arrival. It was fun walking and talking with them, hearing how they met, how long they had been together, when they knew they were ready for babies, etc! Great people!! We passed an ice cream shop in the Quarter so we thought it would be cute to incorporate a cone in a few pictures. I had a great morning with these guys last Sunday! Here are some of my favs :)

Isn’t Heather just radiant?! Soo pretty!LOVE his name!

It’s been a wonderful Wednesday. I woke up and gave myself about 30 minutes of “me” time. Even if it’s just making the bed, eating my yogurt with granola or doing some dishes…. it still helps. I’ve been trying to give myself some time in the morning before diving into work. It usually leads to my brain being all over the place, if I don’t. I got alot of editing done this morning, had a nice little visit with my Ma-Maw who stopped by to say hello and then I headed out to my two shoots this afternoon. Which by the way – the sun and weather was gorgeous. I came home and Randy cooked us dinner. It’s been great, I wish I could have days like today more often.

I’ve been waiting to share Tiphanie and Martin’s Maternity Session for a week or so now. She took these and wanted to surprise her Mom! Now Mama has finally seen them, so we’re good to go! What can I say about these two? I’ve been knowing them since the first day we met for the Wedding appointment, then I shot their Engagement session, then the Wedding. Wow- time flies! I have LOVED photographing their journey, what an honor. This is such a fun process for me to capture.

We headed to the Audubon Zoo. We both pulled up- it was PACKED. Buses everywhere. Kids everywhere! It was field trip Friday to say the least. We were hesitant, but winded up giving it a shot! I’m glad we did because we found some beautiful spots once we walked inside. I am so happy to be able to share these photos with ya’ll!

Here is Tiph & Martin- I can’t wait to finally see their little bambino!

Love this one!! So pretty :)Tiph and her hats- soo cute!
