When Lauren contacted me about wanting to set up a lifestyle family session as soon as her second baby was born, I was over the moon as I love intimate at-home settings. It is an honor when a family lets you in to their personal lives and home to create beautiful images. The icing on the cake is when there's a 7 day old newborn involved! Baby James slept like a champ the entire time as his big sister was still getting used to figuring out how to hold him. With Dad being a Pilot in the U.S. Navy, we got creative with his helmet, which the baby fit right inside like a puzzle! To finish up the session, we went on a little walk to watch the St. Charles trolley pass by while trying to re-create one of Lauren & Adam's wedding photos with their now family of 4. Does it get much sweeter than this??! Thanks again to the Stephens' family for allowing me into a snippet of your lives to capture these timeless moments!
Virginia + Mike || Baby Bump
It was early in the morning when I arrived at a nearby coffee shop to meet Virginia and Mike. Juniper was there to greet me as we all walked along getting to know each other. Glowing, as most expectant mothers do, Virginia had a glittering light that surrounded her. Mike looks at her with such affection eyes, awaiting the arrival of their baby girl. A family already, Juniper led the pack as we explored a little corner of New Orleans. We can't wait to meet the little one and capture the exciting milestone of a new addition to this lovely family!
Baby Lucia + Gender Reveal
Ana and her lovely family flew all the way in from Colorado to share some exciting news with their family in New Orleans. With one big box and an energetic burst of cheers and tears, pink balloons flew out revealing to their family and friends that they will be having another little girl! Lucia will be a big sister to a brand new baby that will be arriving soon. Congratulations again to this lovely, growing family :)
Baby || Atlas
Tiny humans are the greatest. With all of their little wiggles, squirms, and tiny noises, the awe of newborn never fails to light up a room. Is is the new life they bear that brings smiles to faces? Or is it the innocence of seeing a baby grow and discover this new world they just entered? I think it's both of those, plus a whole lot more. Here's baby Atlas, 4 months brand new, and just starting to discover all kinds of emotions.

Baby || Hunter
Babies may just be the most adorable subjects to photograph. Their tiny hands and feet make my heart melt every single time. It was a big day for Baby Hunter playing dress up while squeezing some nap time in between.
