Sneak Peek: Ethan [West Bank Newborn Photographer]

Look at this little angel! Ethan was such a good baby for our session. He didn't sleep super-deeply, but he did sleep pretty much the whole time. Isn't he beautiful. I just love all that dark hair.

And those pouty lips...

And the itty bitty milk drool trail :)

Sneak Peek: Benjamin [New Orleans Baby Photographer]

One of the best parts of my job is that I get to spend time with such loving couples and families. I get to witness those early days of wonder and elation as they get to know the newest additions to their lives. I get to relive over and over again those wondrous, magical days of my own life. The "S" family was the perfect example of this. Watching them adore their beautiful baby boy was just amazing.

A + B - I hope you love the pictures *almost* as much as your sweet baby. :)

Sneak Peek: Reid [Kenner Baby Photographer]

So there's not much "sneak" in this peek, since mom + dad have seen their pictures, but I thought I'd come back and share a few favorites anyway. I had to choose carefully.... don't want to ruin the holiday card surprise, you know! But I think these are safe. ;)


I just love the Elvis-esque sneer here...

silly monkey :)

Sneak Peek: "S" Family [New Orleans Family Photographer]

I had a hard time deciding which images to use for this sneak peek. Partially because the S family is so photogenic and fun and I love so many of their images. But also because they are part of my Christmas in October special and I don't want to ruin the surprise for their holiday cards by "peeking" an image they want to use! But her are a few images that I thought were safe to sneak peek for them.

Ho Ho Ho! Holiday Cards Are Here!

As anyone that follows the blog knows, last weekend was my big Christmas in October holiday special. And boy did we have fantastic weather and a great time at the park. That promotion includes beautiful press-printed holiday cards, but did you know that you can order holiday cards without being part of the Christmas in October promotion? If you had a session with me anytime in 2009 and you'd like to use the images for press-printed holiday cards, just drop me a line at amy@amydrouetphotography.com. But do it soon! Orders for holiday cards must be received by Sunday, November 15 at midnight to guarantee delivery in time for your holiday mailings.

Below are just a few of my holiday card designs for 2009. My complete selection of holiday cards features more than 40 designs to choose from!

Sneak Peek: Maci's Mini [Bedico Baby Photographer]

Maci has certainly had plenty of time in front of the camera lately. We did her 6 month session in the Quarter and then followed up with a mini session in the park to capture some fun images of Maci in my tutus and in her Halloween costume. You can see an example of the cutest little duckling below. And now to round it out, here are a few of the tutu shots. Isn't she adorable? :)

the knight and the lion

The boys and I stopped by the park this morning to get a few quick pictures of them in their Halloween customes. Dylan is loving his knight costume - especially the sword! Logan was less sure of his lion costume, but I think he looks adorable. Not that I'm biased or anything. ;)

Sneak Peek: Lucy [Kenner Baby Photographer]

Lots of my baby planners are hitting the six month mark it seems! For Lucy's 6 month session we headed to the local "pumpkin patch" at St. Augustine's church and broke out the Halloween costume, lots of candy, the orange tutu and pumpkin hat and - of course - lots of real pumpkins!

Just cuz I love newborns... meet Ethan :)

Look at the cutie that I got to spend the morning with. How lucky am I? :)

In honor of Halloween, an oldie but goodie...

This was my Logan last year at Halloween. I call it, "The pumpkin ate my baby!" Appropriate, don't you think? What a cute little chunker he was. It amazes me to look at this and then see how much bigger and older he is now, a year later. Walking. Talking (a little anyway). And into E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G.

This photo reminds me of what a sweet, happy, easy-going baby he was. (After all, I did stick him almost naked in a giant, slimey pumpkin and he still smiled!) I just love it.
