red, white and TWO ::Bossier City photographer::

Today was a big celebration for one of my favorite (almost) two year olds. Happy Birthday Claire! She had the cutest theme (red, white and TWO!) Here's a {slightly} larger than normal sneak peek of her celebration! It was a blast and I hope you have as much fun tomorrow on your true birthday!

Letting me know she is TWO!

ALL the food was so delicious! And beautiful to boot!

Claire and Mama- looking beautiful as always!

Present time!!

And then it was time to sing Happy Birthday and dig into the yummy cupcakes!!!

She needed a smidge of help from Mama to blow out her candles :)

Yummy!

What a fun birthday party for a sweet sweet little girl! I know your Daddy wishes he could've been there but hopefully he'll enjoy the small peak into your special day!

Seeing this beautiful family again was so much fun! It is amazing how much sweet baby Juliana has grown!! Daddy was home for a mid-tour visit and I could tell how much miss Juliana loved having him around. She was all grins for him!

I hope the rest of his time away flies by- thanks so much for allowing me to capture this special moment for you guys!! Enjoy the sneak peek~

Waiting on Bennett ::Bossier City photographer::

Isn't she such a gorgeous mama-to-be? I can.not wait to do your maternity portraits, Lindsey! She has three very handsome boys (daddy and two big brothers) that I am excited to photograph too!

But this post is about her beautiful shower honoring little Bennett. Everything was so pretty and delicious, and just fabulous for a friend that deserved nothing less. Here's a look at Lindsey's shower...

Lindsey isn't my only super talented cake baker/decorator- this was made by our friend Heather and it was as delicious as it was beautiful!

And then Owen got passed around for awhile, here he is with one of his surrogate MOPS grandmas and then snuggled in on Holly and Max (her little guy set to arrive soon!)

Mr. Bennett's nursery is going to be cute, especially with some of the adorable gifts he received...

Lindsey with her beautiful hostesses.

Stay tuned for more of this beautiful mama and baby Bennett, I'm doing her maternity portraits, birth and newborn portraits! I'm beyond excited to meet him!!

S family ::Shreveport family photographer::

I just LOVE how this session turned out. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful sunset-mix in one of the sweetest families I know...and I'm in love with these images! They were so fun and easy going and just beautiful! Their love for each other just shines in each picture! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek S family :)

Baby Sophie ::Bossier City newborn photographer::

Meet little Sophie, the adorable baby sister of this darling little girl, who you can also see here (a little more recently!). We did this session in two different days, almost 2 weeks apart. In some pictures she is only 3 days old and she didn't really want to sleep much that day!

I love watching families grow and I'm so glad I've had the chance to see sweet Aubrey blossom into a loving big sister and meet little Sophie. I dread moving so much, because I will not only miss the friendship I have with their mom, but I hate the idea of not getting to capture these sweet girls growing up!!

K family ::Shreveport Family photographer::

I met up with the K family for some quick family pictures before Daddy heads overseas for a bit. While blogging this I realized I forgot to blog baby sister's newborn portraits. (oops!) So those will be up in a little while. Miss Aubrey just turned two and she is such a fabulous big sister to little Sophie.

She was such a good sport and so fun to work with :) Enjoy your sneak peek guys!

This was one of my first official shoots back after maternity leave and they were a dream to work with. Little Noah didn't want to give up too many of his smiles but he was still adorable and very easy going :) Enjoy your sneak peek V family!!
