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.

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. :)
