Scott | Louisiana Children's Photographer
An inviting aura, hushed sounds, and cozy little nooks filled with bottles, pacifiers, and receiving blankets--and mom on speed dial. As I enter a house with a treasured new little life in it, I always know I'll encounter these perfect little details. But what's more perfect than such details--nothing at all but the precious life my clients have fallen head over heels with. Each one of my mommas, even if they are absolutely frazzled with what to do with this new addition, have such a perfectly enamored glow about them. A glow that quietly screams that nothing else in the entire world matters more than getting acquainted with this brand new, exciting slice of life.
Meet Scott. Meg and Brandon's handsome new addition. He could not be more perfect.
And baby yawns. That's all. Nothing more even needs to be said other than BABY YAWNS...
Isn't Meg stunning? She was so abundantly enamored with Scott.
This is a little peek at a part of his nursery. I love the classic, clean look Meg designed it with. Of course, if you didn't already know, she's the owner of Imagine Boutique, so an eye for pretty things is something she's rather well versed in.
Brandon is a firefighter, so we added a little of daddy into Scott's debut on camera. Meg and Brandon, I'm ever-grateful for your trust in my documenting your perfect boy. I cannot wait to watch him grow this year.

I'm not a momma yet, but the feeling I have watching my little baby clients grow just fills my heart up to the brim. I had the pleasure of meeting Lanie last year and photographing her sweet family of three. I could not be more grateful that she invited me to peek into their lives and photograph them once again this year. Pullovers, button-ups, and navy sneakers--Blake and his big brown eyes stole my heart, once again.
This cutie is stealing other hearts too. His photo from last year is actually featured on this month's issue of New Orleans Kids & Family Magazine. Plus, if you aren't familiar with the magazine and you have children of your own, it's most certainly a fabulous resource for so many family-oriented activities and resources in the New Orleans area. You can pick up a copy of the magazine at local doctor's offices, dentists, grocery stores, and other public places in the area. You can also view it online, here.
I mean, look at this loving, happy baby...
Lanie and Bruce, thank you for, once again, entrusting me with documenting your beautiful, growing family.
Harmon Family | Louisiana Family Photographer
This time of year just makes me so ooey gooey with all of the sweet family lovin'. Here's another one of my most precious families. I absolutely cannot get enough of Kenzie's personality and Luke's chubby cheeks.
Look at this girl--bright-eyed and care free. Yes please.
Teehee, I just adore Luke's face in this one--almost as much as his perfect tweed baby trousers.
That smile. Oh, I think I could squeeze him forever.
Alex and Matt, thank you for entrusting me with documenting your beautiful little family of four. I wish you the most joyful holiday season.
Pennington Family | Louisiana Family Photographer
First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the cutest little blonde baby model I ever did see. I'm so grateful to have watched each era of Amanda and Andrew's life unfold over the past few years. I met the both of them in college and have watched their relationship evolve from the first dates through the wedding, and to first baby, Miles--and what a treat it has been. This was my first time meeting Miles and my did he steal my heart with those blonde locks and warm brown eyes. I just adore every bit of Miles, Amanda, and Andrew in this session.
It took Miles a while to warm up to me, but after searching for acorns together, we were basically BFF. 
I just cannot get enough of these three...and will happily welcome more little Andrews and/or Amandas in front of my camera. (:
Seriously, can we talk about this baby model? I'm not surprised one bit that he was chosen to be a Drooly Scrumptious brand rep.
Amanda and Pnut, thank you for entrusting me with documenting the evolution of your sweet little family. I cannot wait to continue to watch it grow.
Owen Family | Louisiana Family Photographer
What's even more heart fulfilling than photographing a family just once, is when I photograph them year after year. When I can watch children grow, relationships change, and document what life's about--year after year. This is my third year photographing Erica and Jeremy's beautiful little family, and having gotten to know them over the years has been an overwhelming gift.
This little runt was just a teensy toddler the first year we did photos--now he's so handsome and loves to strut in front of the camera.
Erica is hilarious--as both a mother and a person. From belting out frozen songs with fake wigs and recording them, to just singing tunes unabashedly with her kiddos, she makes memories with them that I know they will carry with them for a lifetime.
Can we just reflect for a moment on how handsome and loving Dean is? Gracious.
Jeremy's got his humor too. I'm pretty sure if I lived in their house, I'd never be short of laughs.
Erica, Jeremy, Annabelle, and Dean, thank you, from the bottom of my heart for allowing me another memorable year of documenting your family. And if you ever get the urge to belt out some tunes, I don't have cable, so the spot in front of my TV is always open for your stage. (;
Fugarino Family | Louisiana Family Photographer
Words cannot accurately describe my sheer love for documenting pure emotion--from the unwavering love of a child, to the profound love of a parent--it just makes my heart all ooey gooey. When I photographed Jessica, Bryce, and their beautiful girls, I felt so much calm, comfort, and protection radiating from them onto their beautiful babies. It especially warmed my heart at the genuine adoration I could see in Bryce's eyes as he held each of his girls.
And you know these next ones are my weak spot. Jessica sharing the most intimate moments with three-months-new Isla.
Low hanging moss, the softest of colors, and a most beautiful family--my little Heaven.
Avery has such a gentle temperament that it was so easy to photograph her loving on each one of her family members. I feel like this is an age that Jessica and Bryce will look back on forever and remember the unadulturated love of their sweet girl.
Isla knew exactly who was holding her the second her daddy started holding her hand. He didn't say a word. Goosebumps, anyone?
Jessica and Bryce, thank you for the most beautiful opportunity to organically document the love of your little family.
