Lesley- 2 Years

I have been taking Lesley's photos since she was about 5 months old. Her mom, Jen, and I go wayyyyy back- I'm talking grade school! We were in the same Brownie troop back in the 80's! (we were even on Popeye & Pals!) Jen has always been so supportive of my photography journey and she gave me my start. So thanks Jen!
Lesley always makes me laugh, but now that she's older, the laughs are constant on a photo session with her. This time she was cracking me up with her comments on nutria at the park and how they smelled.


I think this last pic is my favorite. I just love the little face she is making when she sniffed the crepe myrtle flowers. I think she said something along like "why don't these flowers smell?"

Thanks again Jen, Cary and Lesley! I'll see you guys soon!

Brock

When my neighbor, Diane, asked me to take pictures of her grandson, Brock, I was more than happy to do so. I've known this little guy since he was born!While at Lafreniere Park, we took our time checking out ducks, turtles, squirrels, and even chickens! What I think was the most fun, though, was telling him some silly Knock-Knock jokes. This little guy was full of laughs and jokes.

Once we got tired of jokes, Brock couldn't wait to put on his favorite fishing boots and go "fishing" in the pond around the park, just like his Uncle and Mr. Scott, his favorite neighbor (my husband).


I had so much fun capturing Brock in images for his mom and grandmother- and I hope to work with him again- he's a riot!

Cazenave Children

When my old friend Richelle emailed me about taking some family pictures for her I was super excited to rise to the challenge. I had not seen her in a while, except for on Facebook, so I was happy to see her and her family and catch up for a little while.

We met up at Keller Plantation in St. Charles Parish and had a great time walking the grounds and shooting some pics of the kids. Her kids cracked me up because they are all so expressive!
I had a great time catching up with her and meeting Leanna, Camdyn & Brody. Richelle- I look forward to working with you guys again!

Ava

Right after Thanksgiving, I had the pleasure of shooting pictures of Ava. Ava is adorable little toddler who was so curious that she cracked me up throughout the photo session.

Ava is quite a spunky little gal. She cracked me up when she tried to open all of the interesting and unique doors in the French Quarter. I was waiting for the moment when one would pop open! She was so funny and full of life!

Of course, she made me melt when she went to give me a hug toward the end of our session without even me asking! She just leaned in for a hug and I thought it was so sweet! And of course, our photo session wouldn't be complete without the inclusion of mom & dad. Courtney, Shane & Ava- thank you so much for having me take pics for you guys! I hope you like them and hopefully we can have some more adventures in the French Quarter!

Baby Reid

Right after Thanksgiving, I had a great time shooting 3 month milestone pictures of the adorable little Baby Reid.
As you can see, Reid is quite a handsome little fella. He kept making the cutest faces and looking at me so intently! I just wanted to pick him up and squeeze him because he was so cute!

Of course, we let mom & dad get in on a few pictures, too! They are such a beautiful family and I had such fun shooting pictures of them all!
Thanks again Reid, Misty & Richard! I hope to see you guys again soon!

Sanders Family Portraits

I've known Jennifer and for a very long time. Jennifer and I were in the same Brownie troop when we were little girls! So when she told me that they wanted to do pictures of her family and her brother, Patrick's family, for Christmas, I was more than happy to rise to the challenge to capturing both groups in pictures.
I always love shooting pictures of adorable little Lesley so when I knew I was also going to be capturing photos of Pat & Stacy's boys, Lane & Grant, I was super excited to get them all together.

We met up at Lafreniere Park on a very foggy Sunday morning and had a ball cracking jokes and reminiscing while taking pics. It is so fun to see such a closely knit family that I've known for a very long time interact. The boys had me in stitches, and Lesley always knows how to bring a smile to anyone's face with her hilarious gestures and giggles.

Thanks ya'll for asking me to take your pictures! I had so much fun! I hope to see ya'll soon!

Aubrey

A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of shooting 1 year portraits of adorable little Aubrey at City Park.

Aubrey had me smiling throughout our whole photo shoot. I don't know if it was her love for honey buns, Stairway to Heaven (yes, the Led Zeppelin song) or rocking horses that had her smiling more, but she was just a doll to follow around and capture on film.




After a little fun with all of those things, Aubrey even let mom & dad take a couple of shots with her. It was a joy to capture moments of this beautiful family!
Thanks again Lindsay, Nathan & Aubrey! I hope you all have a very happy holiday and I hope to see ya'll again!
