I had the pleasure of meeting up with this little lady right before her first birthday. She was so cooperative for her photo session, I love what we were able to get! And of course, she has the cutest smile and blue eyes--and an adorable wardrobe to complement them! Here are a few (ok, more like quite a few) of my favorites from her session. I love one year olds!
I got to meet this sweet little fellow last week, at just one month old. And let me tell you, I don't think I've EVER had such a smiley little one to photograph at this age. He was so content and all smiles almost the entire session. I couldn't get enough of him, he was pure perfection!
So, many of my recent posts have contained photos of children who I photographed as newborns. But this, my friends, was THE first newborn I ever got the pleasure of photographing. He stole my heart then and things haven't changed much. And just like all the other babies, he has grown up at record speed! Wow, they grow fast! But I had a great time with Jacob AND the rest of his family last weekend. :) He now has some seriously killer blue eyes and Lizzy has a dimpled smile that can turn the gray sky blue. What a great looking family!
And we'll call this one "the one that got away"... There are far more interesting things to do when you're a little boy than have your picture taken!
If you're thinking you've seen these beautiful people before, it's because you have. :) Erika & Jeff and their family are becoming frequent visitors here on the blog. You may recognize them from last month's Trash the Dress session or their whole family from their Spring family pictures. No matter what, though, I must say my camera and I couldn't be happier! It's always fun getting together with them no matter the time or location--I love this family and love that photography has allowed me to get to know them!
Yet another great session in the Quarter--I'm having lots of fun there! So the McDonalds were scheduled for pictures the same day we were supposedly going to get some hurricane named Ida moving in... So the night before the session, the forecast basically said there was 99.9% chance of rain for the morning, so things weren't looking good. But wouldn't ya know, we woke up and there wasn't a drop of rain to be seen and we got the session in without a hitch! The family photo gods were smiling on us that day, I suppose! And what a great time we had, I love these guys. Parker was one of my first newborns I photographed last December and I just loved getting him in front of my lens again...along with the rest of his crew. What a good looking bunch!
(this is a totally candid shot, but I just loved it when I saw it!)
Another fun French Quarter session! I got to meet up with these two little cuties for some holiday pictures. I first met Annie when she was just two weeks old, and of course, she has gone and grown up so fast! Now she's about as happy and smiley as they come and has one amazing set of blue eyes. And lucky me, I got to meet her adoring big sister this time. They looked darling in their matching dresses, and I'd say they were the biggest attraction in the Quarter that evening as everyone stopped to say how gorgeous they were. I couldn't agree more!
All right folks, be prepared for lots of new posts here on the blog the next two weeks. I've been having lots of fun and am now doing lots of editing!
This little man is all mine and he turned 2 almost two months ago. And it's taken me that long to get his portraits taken! But now they are done and I'm so glad, even if it meant I fit in his session at my very busiest time. We hit up the park for a really quick photo shoot last week. He was not an easy client either! He definitely gave me a run for my money, so I was thrilled to have some keepers when I got them all uploaded to my computer. I sure do love this little guy and I'm a little sad that he's growing up so fast!
I got to meet up with Christine and her dog Hampton last Saturday for a morning of pictures. And what a great time we had! Hampton is definitely one well-loved pet. What a lucky dog! :)
Last Saturday evening, the weather was beautiful and so was this family! Little Kaylin is definitely a little girl with a big personality. She kept me smiling with her big vocabulary and cheers for LSU Tigers! Here's a peek for you, Marin! Enjoy!
And as you know, I always have a hard time deciding between a color version vs. a black & white, especially when it comes to selecting pictures to post. And this picture, I simply couldn't decide, so I'm posting it both ways. I love this image--I love the expression on her face and those big blue eyes!
