That moment when you get to photograph for a couple whose wedding you shot in 2011....and now they have 3 kiddos!
It's such a joy and privilege to catch up with couples from years ago and document the growth of their family! Such a gift to spend this time with so many cute Quackenbosses!
It's the most wonderful time of the year! And in keeping with one of my favorite parts of December (receiving all the wonderful holiday cards from friends and family) here is a year in review of all the families we got to serve! I don't get to do as many family photos as I used to anymore since I'm out of the country a lot, but I really love seeing the kids dressed in their best!
I'm thankful you've stopped by to see the latest and follow along my adventures this year.
Merry Christmas to you and yours. May your next year be merry and bright!
I've known Allison and John-Cody for many many years. These two are high school sweethearts. I remember Allison telling me about a crush on John-Cody in high school. I remember when they got together, when they became our high school's prom king and queen and I even got to be at their wedding!
I haven't been in someone's home to do their family photos in a little while. This was a sweet morning just getting to see new life and new routines with these friends!
And now they have a little man! Cohen is precious and it was an honor to do these photos for sweet friends I've known for more than half my life.
Congratulations you two! He's beautiful and I can't wait to watch your family grow!
I LOVE receiving Christmas cards. But who doesn't?
It's been an awesome fall full of family photo sessions. We did mini sessions for the first time this year and they were a hit! Between mini sessions and hanging out with families who I get to see grow through the lens each and every year...this was a wonderful fall for photos!
Here's some favorites. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

All things pumpkin, shorter days, and a bit cooler (80 degree) weather...you know what that means!
It's that family portraits time of year!
I got to spend an afternoon with the Langlois family at Houmas House Plantation. What a beautiful place!! Jeremy Langlois is the head chef (an amazing chef at that) at Houmas House so it only made sense to capture their family photos at this incredibly beautiful and classic spot. We've shot weddings here before, but chasing kids around the grounds was a really fun way to experience this South Louisiana gem!

Tis the season of many wonderful spring family sessions!
It's Dad's week and some of these moments of Anderson with her Daddy were just too precious. I've been beaming as I work on these.
Happy Father's Day and Congrats to some sweet friends and their beautiful daughter and here's to many more wonderful years.

This kid!! She makes the greatest faces. This is the second time I’ve had the joy of photographing Lucy Margaret's awesome expressions and they get better and better. Once again we met to do some family photos at Capitol Park in downtown Baton Rouge. Time flies with kiddos like this one. Looking forward to watching her grow!
Check out her Fall portraits here!
Happy Wednesday!

It's pretty rainy and gross out there today. Here's another Spring photo shoot of sweet Mary Nelson to brighten the day a bit.
Can't believe she's one year old! It's such a joy to watch through the camera lens as these little ones grow up.
You can view her newborn photos taken a year ago at this link.
Happy Wednesday to all!

It’s been a crazy spring! I can’t believe summer is basically here and the sun is staying out until after 8 each evening. Have I mentioned before that I actually think this time of year is
“the most wonderful time of the year?”
The sun stays out all morning and night rewarding us for the accomplishment of enduring another winter! Which also means lots of folks are getting married, graduating, entering new seasons...and being born. I mean I know this happens throughout the year but something about the Spring makes it seem like it all happens a lot more. It’s an exciting time. Somewhere in all the running around I got to hang out with a few families and let me tell you…looking through photos of little cuties is about the best cure for feeling overwhelmed…which this season also tends to bring at times. The Jacksons were no exception. Here’s some photos of sweet James and his new baby sister Madeline.
What a gift these sweet spring days are.
