My Funny Boy [New Orleans Child Photographer]

Yesterday morning as I prepared for little Hudson's (below) newborn session, Dylan saw me pull out my camera to get it set up. He immediately exclaimed, "I need my pit-tures! I need my pit-tures!" And off he ran to his room to get his "pit-tures" (aka camera). So in honor of my sweet, funny boy, here he is with his "pit-tures". What do you think? Do we have a photographer in the making?

Sneak Peek: Hudson [Gulfport Newborn Photographer]

Have I mentioned this week how much I love newborn sessions? Oh yeah, I did. In Aiden's post. :) But never the less the truth stands. So needless to say, I was even more impressed that this sweetie traveled all the way from Gulfport, MS for his session. And I'm so glad he did. It took us a few minutes (okay, closer to 120 minutes) to get him to sleep. But once he conked out, he was the perfect little model.

K - Enjoy your sneak peek! I'm so glad we were able to work it into the schedule.

ETA: Fixed the pictures. Blogger did something wacky to the color.

Introducing Aiden Tran [New Orleans Newborn Photographer]

Welcome to an extra-special, extra-big sneak peek here on the blog.

You see, my friends Corine + Beebe Tran, of the fabulous Studio Tran, were blessed last week with the birth of their second son, Aiden. And of course I jumped at the chance to do a newborn session with the little guy. What can I say? I just adore newborn sessions. Those squishy little faces, itty bitty hands and feet, and curly little bodies. With two little boys of my own I know how quickly that changes! Soon he'll be alert, then smiling, laughing, walking and running. But hopefully these images will help preserve those first weeks and everything that makes a newborn special.

C+B - Congrats again on your new boy - he's beautiful!

Adorable green + Brown hat from my friend Jessica's Etsy shop.

Awesome blue bowl cocoon by my friend Carla.

Sneak Peek: Cooper [New Orleans Baby Photographer]

This lovely family drove all the way in from Gulfport MS for our session with 2.5 year old Cooper. And what a cutie he was - beautiful blond hair and big brown eyes! And like most 2 year old boys, Cooper was a man on a mission. A mission to explore the park, climb every tree and cross every bridge. Luckily, I'm a woman with two little boys myself and I'm pretty used to grabbing shots on the go.

And for Natalie... look, smiles! And lots of them. :)

Sneak Peek: Gina + Toru [New Orleans Maternity Photographer]

Have I ever mentioned how I love doing maternity sessions in the early evening? Just an hour or so before sunset is perfect. The is golden and so so beautiful. Now most of my littlest subjects aren't at their best that late in the day, but it's fantastic for session with adults or older children.

Need proof? Just check out the lovely Gina and Toru. We met up at City Park last weekend in the early evening for a great maternity session. G+T _ I hope you enjoy the peek. And I can't wait to meet little J!

Sneak Peek: Juliet on the go! [New Orleans Baby Photographer]

I met up with sweet Juliet Friday morning for a hot steamy session in the Quarter to commerate her one year year birthday. The good news is: Juliet was happy and far more cooperative than you could ever expect a one year old to be. The bad news: we almost beat the rain. Yep, ALMOST. Luckily we were almost done when it started to rain and we even finished up the session in the drizzle (until it started downpouring!).

R+T - Enjoy the peek. I'll have the full gallery for you soon!

what my children do when I'm not looking...

Yes, that would be three very empty totes strewn about the room and all of the toys normally in those totes piled in the closet. Why? God only knows. Should I just be happy that they did it together without fighting?

Sneak Peek: Ella + Ryan [Destrehan Baby Photographer]

Look who's 6 months old already! Ella was all smiles all day long. Ryan, on the other hand, was mr. serious. But we coaxed a few sweet smiles out of him.

I can hardly believe that its already been 6 months since these photos. Crazy!

Two Spots Left...

There are just TWO spots left for the Holiday Mini-Sessions on Saturday, October 24. Email me soon if you're interested in snagging one... All slots are first come, first served!

Mr. Wild Thing

Logan goes by a number of different names on any given day. Loganberry. Sweet Thing. Loganzilla. Destructo Boy. And lately Wild Thing. Or, if you're feeling formal, Mr. Wild Thing. He is all snips and snails and go, go, go. In other words, he's all boy. ;)

So I made a quick run to the park with him for some updated photos the other morning after I dropped Dylan off at Kid's Day Out. It was terrible timing. Logan was sleepy and cranky before we ever got there. And it was HOT. But I got in a few cute shots before he self-destructed on me.



I call this "blue steel," lol:
