Sneak Peek: "F" Family {New Orleans Family Photographer]

What do you get when you cross fun-loving two year old twins with loving down-to-earth parents and a condo filled with fantastic light?

You get images like these:

Seriously, how CUTE is this? I love that they're both wearing mom's shoes in the picture.

F family - It was a pleasure to meet you all. I hope to see you around here for at least another month or so - and again next year! Enjoy your sneak peek - I'll have the full gallery ready for you very soon.

Sneak Peek: Dora + Shane [ New Orleans Maternity Photographer]

I've been a bad, bad blogger. I'm behind with my sneak peeks. In truth I'm trying to move my blog to a new format and I was hoping to just start posting to the new blog straight away, but I'm having some technical issues so here I'll stay a little longer.

D+S - thanks so much for your patience! And enjoy your peek. The full gallery will be ready very soon.

Sneak Peek: Eli [New Orleans Baby Photographer]

Just look at this sweet little guy! The cooooooold weather drove us inside for Eli's 5-month photo session and I couldn't be happier about it. The family's second bedroom - with a comfy bed and lots of windows - was absolutely perfect for our session!

Sneak Peek: Melyssa + Christy [New Orleans Maternity Photographer]

One of the best parts of my job is capturing happy, excited couples as they await the arrival of a child. And M + C are no exception. Actually happy doesn't begin to cover it. Giddy might be more accurate. And why not? They only have a few more weeks to go before they welcome home their beautiful baby boy. M+C - I hope you enjoy the sneak peek!

Sneak Peek: Jessica + Jordan [New Orleans Maternity Photographer]

These two are so cute and excited about welcoming their first child. To commemorate this time in their lives we had a wonderful session in the Quarter. I just love all the textures and colors the Quarter has to offer.

And P.S... isn't she gorgeous??? Wow. :)

Sneak Peek: Truman [New Orleans Baby Photographer]

Just look at this cutie with the beautiful blue eyes. Truman's family was in town for the holidays and took advantage of the opportunity to get some grat images down in the Frech Quarter. R + J - I hope you enjooy the peek! I'll have the full gallery ready soon.

Merry Christmas!

Have a safe, happy and love-filled holiday! And since posts with images are way more fun than posts without, here's my final Santa baby of the 2009 season, Elise. See you all in 2010!

Sneak Peek: Emerson [Luling Newborn Photographer]

Little Emerson has to be one of the easiest little newborns I've ever photographed. It took a couple of tries to get him in a good sleep, but then he slept like a champ, waking up just at the end for a couple of open-eyed shots.

Just look at this beautiful baby boy! I just had to post this picture to prove to sweet Cole's mama that he did smile (once or twice ;)) during his session!

8 weeks young

Today I met up with sweet little Jax, 8 weeks old. Jax was signed up for a true newborn session, but we were never able to do it as he arrived five weeks early and spent his first few weeks in the hospital. Although tiny, Jax was just as alert and awake as a typical 8 week ld, but I did catch this shot during the few minutes that he napped for us and I loved it so I had to share it right away. What a cutie!

Sneak Peek: Aiden [New Orleans Baby Photographer]

Look at the cutie I got to meet this week! Little Aiden needed a few minutes to warm up, but once he did, he had the sweetest expressions. I know mom has been anxiously looking for her sneak peek, so Y+T - enjoy! I'll have the full gallery for you soon.

Sneak Peek: Marion [New Orleans Baby Photographer]

Yesterday morning I met up with funny little Marion and her parents who were in town for the holidays. I'm so glad that it worked out this year. They actually emailed me for a session this time last year, but I was out of town for the holidays.

Marion was a little lady on the go, full of mischief, a little mayhem and a mind of her own. And she was oh so beautiful. This first shot is one of my recent faves. I love the serious expression. I love the big brown eyes. I love those adorable pigtails. I just love it all.

Sneak Peek: J Family [New Orleans Family Photographer]

One of the hardest things about being the photographer in the family is that you're never in any of the photos. I know that from first hand experience. So I could totally relate when a fellow photographer, the lovely and talented Jill Jones, contacted me for a holiday session for her family.

As moms our concern is documenting our children as they grow and hit various milestones. That's our gift to ourselves. To capture and preserve those moments so we have them to look back on when our children are grown. But the the photos we get in with our children... those are our gift to them. And while they may not appreciate them now, they'll treasure them down the road.

Sneak Peek: G Family [Metairie Family Photographer]

I'm running just a teeeeensy bit behind on this sneak peek, but hopefully it's worth the wait. I got to meet with the G family last week as they prepare to expand their family once again. With three lively kids, there's plenty of love and excitement to go around in this household. It will be one lucky little girl joining this family.

Sneak Peek: Camille [River Ridge Newborn Photographer]

One last sneak peek for tonight and... surprise! It's a newborn. :) I recently had the opportunity to meet sweet miss Camille. She was a bit older than most of my newborns but mom and dad worked really hard to get her sleepy for our session and it worked! Camille was a perfect little angel for us.

Sneak Peek: Blake [Luling Baby Photographer]

Another sneak peek today - and it's not a newborn! But I did take Mr. Blake's newborn photos. And now he's back and 6 months old already! What a happy, smiley little guy he was for us too. Just look and see...
