H Family ::Bossier City Family photographer::

I met up with the H family at a local garden that was absolutely.beautiful this past weekend. Their sweet 3 year old was such a little princess and so fun to work with. She kept noticing brides getting their pictures taken in the gardens and said, " Oh look, there's Cinderella or There's Tinkerbell!" Precious!

We had a lot of fun, even with Mr. H and his poor hurt leg. He was a good sport and hobbled around as best he could for a few family pictures :) Thanks  so much for allowing me the chance to photograph your beautiful family Tina!!

Busyness!

I posted this on our family blog, but thought it fitting to share here too :

It has been non stop busy in our house since my husband came home from his deployment. We are always on the go, and it feels like there is never  a moment to just stop and breathe.

I am so thankful to be busy. Especially with my photography. I'm well on my way to being officially in business by my daughter's birthday, just like I promised myself with my new year's resolutions. At the same time, I am trying to remember why I got into photography...capturing memories, and most important to me, is  our memories! I long to just sit down and edit our photos and blog about our little moments, and I'm finding that hard to do! Again, not complaining at all about being busy, I am just struggling with balance! Balancing being a mom to my two munchkins and a wife (after not having to focus on being a wife for almost 6 months!), it is hard to remember there's another person to care for! And balancing work, with family time...I love the opportunity I'm being given, but I have to remember to slow down and remember what made photography so enjoyable sometimes :)

Anyways, all that rambling to say, today I took time to take my kids to a spot where I've been doing several family sessions recently. It's a beautiful art gallery with even more beautiful gardens. Acres of azaleas and beautiful waterfalls, bridges, trees...it's really amazing. We had a picnic (Burger King ;) ), and I just let them play and of course, took a  "few" pictures of them. I'm hoping my clients will forgive me for taking a day off from editing their portraits to indulge myself in editing a few of my own children ;)

Baby R's Cake Smash ::Bossier City child photographer::

Sweet little R is turning one at the end of this month, I can't wait for his Mickey Mouse birthday party! His mom was sweet enough to want me there not only as a friend with my kids but also there to capture his first birthday for her in pictures!

We did a few one year portraits and then moved inside for his cake smash...he was definitely a bigger fan of the cake smash than the other pictures :) He needed a bath when he was done smashing his cake!!

Little A's 6 month portraits ::Bossier City child photographer::

I had the honor today of photographing sweet little A for the second time. I met her mom through a mom's group I'm in and first took A's pictures when she was only a couple of months old. She is growing up to be the most adorable, make that beautiful! little girl!

Amy, I had so much fun with you and your sweet little girl! I can't wait to take some of her big brothers!...that's going to be a blast!

Spring Pictures

I got out the "studio" equipment for hopefully one of the last times (hooray for Spring and outdoor sessions!). I don't really like studio set up but sometimes it's a necessary evil (newborns! and the under one crowd, especially in cold or yucky weather are easy to photograph on the backgrounds!).

I wanted to take a few spring pictures of the kids and though they were in not so great moods I'm glad I got a few smiles out of them :)

I'm open for bookings starting 22 March. So if you're interested in spring/Easter portraits ("studio" set up or outdoors (my preference!) feel free to contact me!

M turns one! Cake Smash ::Bossier City child photographer::

Little M turned one way back in December but I never properly blogged his cake smash!

He was not really into it, not anything like his first birthday party which I also had the honor of photographing. :)

 From his party :

I am looking to add more cake smashes and birthday's to my portfolio, so please contact me if your little one or a friend's little one is about to turn one!!

on vacation

I'm currently on hiatus until the 22nd of March. Since my husband just returned home from a long d*ployment, we're enjoying much needed family time until he has to head back to work.

I'm excited about the warmer weather and beautiful flowers that are starting to show up. Winter is definitely not fun for a photographer, I hate being stuck inside!!

If you're in the Bossier City- Shreveport area, please consider me for any spring family or children's portraits in the upcoming months! Pricing is available upon request until my website is officially up and running!

Thanks so much to the amazing friends and family who have stuck by me and encouraged me these past months! I hope you'll continue to let me photograph your families!
