Holiday Sessions – Day 2 {Houma Family Photographer}
Posted on January 23, 2012
Day 2 of my holiday sessions started with another family I’ve known for a while. The first time I worked with them, Victoria was only 18 months old and one of the most beautiful little girls I’d seen. She’s still just as beautiful and now she has a precious little brother along for the session. Mom, Amy, jumped in for a couple of shots, too. I love Victoria’s dress and both kids were perfect for the session. Again, I used a different location and moved things around just a little.
My next client has been friends with my sister since elementary school and I also took newborn photos of her. Ms. Mckenzie also took a little while to warm up, but she did great in the end! Isn’t she precious? Loved her dress, too!
Another previous client came next … I first met them during my holiday sessions last year and I’m looking forward to meeting their new addition! Again, the kids were angels and so easy to photograph! Such a sweet family!
And yet another previous client came next, this is my 3rd year photographing them as a family for my holiday sessions. Jake went to preschool with Hayden, so we saw them around school events as well. He’s a character and so fun to interact with, he had some great jokes!
And last but not least, another family that found me through last year’s holiday sessions. Tiffany and I had met when our boys were in the same preschool class. Both of her boys are also fun to photograph, I love watching them interact!
Holiday Sessions – Day 1 {Houma family photographer}
Posted on January 22, 2012
My holiday sessions this year were a little bit different from what I’ve done in the past. I wanted to stylize the sessions a bit so that they looked a little more personal and unique. They were all shot over a 2 day period in the same location, just different areas of that location. Each group of sessions was set up just a little differently and I was so happy with the results. I didn’t post these when I edited them a couple of months ago because many of the photos were used as holiday cards and I didn’t want to spoil them for the families. This morning, I realized I’d never posted them so here they are! Every session was a previous client which made them so special to me. I just love seeing my clients come back year after year! A few of them have even done holiday sessions with me every year since I began them!
This is Aubrey, I shot her newborn photos last year and we did these for her first birthday. She is just the sweetest thing and she did exceptionally well considering it was freezing for her session!

Next up is Ms. Gracie and her parents. I’ve also been photographing her since she was a newborn. If you follow my work, you may remember her newborn session, it still is one of my favorites that I’ve done. She was such a tiny but chunky little peanut and her little tongue was poking out during a lot of the shots. Two years later, I have photographed her and her family several times but this time was by far the most challenging! She didn’t want to have much to do with the camera and it took my “magic fairy dust” to even get her sitting down for any length of time! Sean and Heather, I’m so excited about shooting your wedding this June, Gracie is going to make the cutest flower girl ever 
My third family of the morning is also pretty special to me. Jen and I went to high school together and pledged the same sorority in college. I shot their wedding a couple of years ago as well as Joseph’s newborn photos. We sat around talking for almost an hour once we were done shooting, I just love all three of them!
The second half of the day, I had moved things over to another area of the property and set them up a little differently. I get bored if I do the same thing too many times! This half started off with yet another long-time client. I met Kristen 4 years ago when I first started shooting seniors; she found me on the internet and booked me for her brother’s senior portraits. I then shot her maternity and newborn and have seen them every year since for Jonathan’s birthday pics. Kristen and I have talked endlessly about nursing our little ones and Jonathan was born just a few days before my niece, Adalyn. Again, I love this family!
And finally, my sister and her family came by to get some photos done. We’ve never really been successful with family shots over the years so we were quite ecstatic to get the following ones!
That’s it for now, tomorrow I’ll be back with day 2 of the holiday sessions!
The “H” Family
Posted on October 12, 2011
Brandy and her family won a contest I ran earlier this year and she held on to it until Ms. Rilyn’s first birthday. I first met this family when Rilyn was only a few days old and was able to photograph her again at 5 months. This time, I got to meet big brother, Juan, who put a smile on my face – he reminds me so much of Hayden! We had lots of fun dressing up Rilyn and then letting her have some cake, then we headed just a block away to a nearby wooded area to get some family photos as well as some 7 year portraits of Juan. I hope you guys enjoy the photos and I look forward to working with you all again!
Love this one, she is perfection!
This boy loves his mama!
