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.

Beautiful mama to {almost} three boys ::Shreveport maternity photographer::

This is the maternity session I've been waiting on for about...9 months. Lindsey is one of my best friends and such a sweet and fabulous person, and also one of my first clients :) See how much her family has grown?? {And excuse the fact that I didn't know how to properly websize files back then!! They also appear here}

Anywho- she is such a beautiful person inside and out and I cannot wait to meet sweet Bennett! I'll be there for it- I'm beyond excited that I'll be photographing his birth!! This session was a lot of fun and I just LOVE how it turned out. Thanks for trusting me to take your family's pictures for so long :) I just love y'all! And see Mr. C....wasn't it worth it to hike into the field? We weren't crazy after all right?! ;)

Miss Finnley ::Bossier City photographer::

Miss Finnley. She is something else. So full of spunk already! She definitely had her opinions about pictures but she was still so fun to work with and her beautiful mama was very patient with both of us :) I'm looking forward to watching you grow up sweet girl and can't wait to see how fun you will be in a few months!

Sweet girl just didn't want to dress up and smile!!

Burrowed into gorgeous mama's shoulder...it's her trademark sleeping position .

A little rocking led to

a few quiet moments in her beautiful vintage crib.

missing the beach.

Found this little gem while scanning through our beach albums trying to pick some to print. Confession: I'm terrible about printing out pictures! But lately I've been working on going through albums; marking them so that after we move I can print AND hang up some fabulous new pictures for the house.

This. is a must hang. It just makes me smile and miss the beach and that fun family time. :)

Tyler, 11 days new ::Bossier City newborn photographer::

Meet Tyler. He was such a good, laid back little guy. Reminded me so much of Owen :) Seems like O should still be this size!!!
He had a very excited big sister who you can tell is going to be an awesome friend for him! I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek and enjoy your new life as a family of four! It definitely is a little more crazy!!

Hold onto your hats! ::Shreveport family photographer::

Hold onto your hats! I hope you're prepared for this cuteness! Isn't he too adorable!? His favorite trick was to take his hat on and off and it was very charming.

In fact, his entire family was charming and a blast to photograph. Big sister was so polite and sweet, I hope my Ellie has her grace and manners some day!

And, I love how Mom styled everyone for the session; they complemented each other so well without being matchy matchy! I love it! Thanks again for a fabulous session, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

S family ::Shreveport family photographer::

Oh my. It was a very hot sticky 95 degrees at sunset for this adorable family's session. But I have the best clients, they are always up for anything and never seem to mind the Louisiana heat that much!

I hope it was worth it for you guys- I love the light in these and also how sweet your boys look! (Not that they weren't sweet- oh, they were too adorable!) We had to work fast with the little one, he's the fastest crawler ever!

S family- I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
