Silhouettes Photo Contest ::Bossier City photographer::

I know I've shared this picture before but I just wanted to post again to enter it into a contest from a photography forum I love Rock the Shot. This month's contest was for silhouettes.

So my submission is of the big kiddos enjoying the sunset on the beach in Galveston, Texas. I wish the sun had set over the water but I can't change geography so I had to deal with what I was given ;) I still love what I came away with :)

Bennett at seven days new. ::Bossier City newborn photographer::

I am so in love with Mr. Bennett. Even though he refused to sleep for me unless his mama was within arms reach....(mama's boy already and I mean that as a huge compliment, I love snuggly boys that love their mama's). This session didn't go as we maybe originally planned but I really love the moments we captured anyways.

Bennett's mama is such a sweet dear friend and she's pretty handy with her camera too (though she doesn't always like to admit it) so I know I'll see plenty of her pictures of him after we move, and of his two fabulous big brothers. I'll be headed back over for a few family shots this weekend and I'll share more of those later. I'm going to miss them all so much but I'm so thankful for the years I've had watching her family grow!

Enough sappiness. Onto the cute baby and beautiful mama! (and daddy- he's not too shabby looking himself!)

This rocker is from his daddy's family, so his very own daddy was rocked in it as a baby. I love when families find unique "props" that have such a special meaning to them!

So serious ::Bossier City children's photographer::

Little Andrew was so serious! (I've had quite a few little ones lately that haven't been quite sure what to think about pictures!) I can't get over how big Andrew is, he was my first birth client.
And is definitely bigger than he was when we last met.

I'm quite sad that his sweet family has moved since I did this session. Gotta love the Air Force! I know his mama will keep me updated on Andrew though, I will always feel a special connection to him since I met him when he was born (well, almost!). Here's your sneak peek! And thanks for letting me capture so many special moments for your family! I'll miss you guys!!

We did get a few grins out of him...

I just love how wise he looks, it reminds me of this picture...

Mr. Reece ::Bossier City family photographer::

Oh how big my winter/spring newborns are getting....This is Reece, he was born on Christmas day and he's such a big guy now. {Here's what he looked like last time I photographed him...SUCH a difference!} He was happy to see me at first but not so thrilled once I got out the camera. He made his mama and me work! {Daddy helped some too!}

Luke is ONE! ::Tuscaloosa,AL baby photographer::

My sweet {nephew} Luke. I love him! We celebrated his first birthday a little late and did his cake smash on my last trip home. He was a little unsure about the cake but still had a good time! I love you Lukie, can't wait to be closer to home on your next birthday!! And for fun, see how Luke has grown!! See his newborn pictures here.

All smiles ::Bossier City baby photographer::

Oh my! Little Dominic was the sweetest, happiest little man today. His mama was my kind of mama too, she kept his sweet baby hair un-cut until he could get pictures- she wanted to remember it the way it looks now, so soft and a little crazy! And she let me know she shares my love for little baby feet. {I adore baby feet!!} So Mama, here ya go- a sneak at your sweet little{st} boy- his adorable hair and scrunchy toes, and of course, adorable little smile!!

five months old.

I can't believe Owen is already five months old. It's hard to imagine he was this small and snuggly....



These days he's on the move- usually rolling wherever he wants, though he can get up on his elbows and knees and "crawl" backwards. He's still the world's happiest baby and adores his big brother and sister.



Life is definitely crazier with three little ones, but we are surviving ! :) It's hard with Daddy gone right now, we definitely miss him. He's absence also influences how many sessions I'm able to take on, so I just wanted to share that I have limited availability for the fall . Also since we are moving in December, I want to make sure if you're thinking about fall sessions (for Christmas cards or the like) be sure to book soon!

I'm getting excited about an upcoming birth session- any day now! Be sure to check back in a few days for a sneak peek! It's amazing how fast they grow up...especially the third time around!

Welcome Home! ::Shreveport lifestyle photographer::

I didn't expect this homecoming session to be so emotional, but I couldn't help crying. It was just beautiful. And I'm so happy for this family to be reunited even briefly. And so thankful for your service to our country J!


We started out on pins and needles, the anticipation filled the air...

Waiting...

Checking to see if Daddy's plane had landed yet...

Finally! Running to meet Daddy!

So so proud of Daddy!

Headed home to enjoy much deserved family time!

Today was just wonderful, I loved capturing this special moment and I loved hearing others in the airport thanking J and the other soldiers for their service. Appreciation. I am so happy that others shared it and I know I felt so much gratitude towards them for everything they have done and will keep on doing.

I love living in America and all that means, it's truly the home of the free because of the brave.
