6 days new :: Bossier City newborn photographer::

Sweet Sweet Olivia. She has taught me a thing or two about newborn pictures :) The first day we tried this...she only slept swaddled, so I came back two days later... and we worked our magic on her... and she slept for almost 3 hours straight. Dream newborn for a photographer! It was crazy the difference in her! :) We actually still aren't done for this session- I am going back for more lifestyle family shots this weekend (assuming I haven't had my own baby of course!)

Enjoy your sneak peek B family...Olivia is such a doll and I've been so thankful to be allowed into your lives and home to capture these special moments with her and big brother (who is SO sweet with baby sister!!)

Happy Birthday Olivia! ::Bossier City birth photographer::

Happy Birthday Olivia! I was so honored to have been present for your birth! You are such a miracle and so loved already! I'm (not so) patiently waiting till I get to see you again for newborn portraits!

I've been photographing this family for almost a year after I met her mom at a play date, I've done big brother's cake smash, family/maternity pictures, and I've loved watching their family grow to include sweet Olivia!

Birth photography has been such a blessing in my own life, I truly love nothing more about my job than births and hope to have the opportunities to photograph many more soon. (Though I guess my own little peanut's birth- which my husband will probably do most of..is next up! 4 weeks to go!)

Enough talking...on to the sneak peek!

Beautiful mama and daddy!

One last belly shot...

Welcome to the world Olivia!

Her cord had a knot in it!

Welcome to the family, Olivia!

Isn't Mom so beautiful?

Big brother Jack wasn't too sure at first...

"Aunt" Lisa meets Olivia...

Grandpa helps Jack check out baby sister...

Already a big helper!

So loved! Grandma and Grandpa were so thrilled to meet her!

Jack thinks this big brother stuff isn't too bad I think!

Daddy's girl ::Bossier City newborn/family photographer::

I met this adorable family today and their sweet peanut- Juliana.

She arrived 6 weeks early and while Daddy wasn't able to be there for the big day since he's currently serving our country bravely overseas- he did get to come home for a bit to meet his little girl. She's such a perfect little one and I'm so glad I got to capture a few moments for them before Daddy heads back to protecting us.

Military families are always so special to me, I like to think I have a bit of an inside pass- since I was both an Air Force brat and am proudly married to a pilot in the Air Force... and the families they leave behind are so strong and brave themselves. I know Juliana's mom has a tough job ahead of her- but she's been such a wonderful "single" mom already in these few weeks- she can totally handle this job!

Enjoy your sneak peek guys- and best wishes for a speedy next few months!

Little Monkey ::Bossier City newborn photographer::

Remember little Andrew? My first birth client is now two! weeks old! And the weather finally cooperated for us to do his newborn pictures! But Mr. Andrew had other ideas, and wanted to make sure I really worked hard today.

We spent a good three hours soothing, feeding, burping, rocking, swaying, turning up the heat, changing him (and all the blankets because he also thought I needed to do laundry tonight on all of my prop blankets ;) )... until we finally gave up and did family stuff first with his precious parents and sweet grandparents...

and then when that was done, he passed out. So for fifteen minutes, I raced the clock to get everything done before he could wake up!!

Enjoy your sneak peek P family- your little monkey is precious and I've been so thrilled to follow him from when he was just a sweet baby bump to his birth day till now! Thank you for including me in your journey!!

Sweet brothers/ Meet Abram ::Bossier City newborn/family photographer::

This adorable family has two of the sweetest little boys ever. Big brother Braddock was just too sweet when I arrived to do his little brother, Abram's, newborn portraits. He shared toys with me and tried his best to be a big helper. :) He was a little cautious about taking a picture with his bigger family but I know he will best buddies with Abram before we know it!! Enjoy your sneak peek W family :)
