Melissa’s Baby Shower | Minden Louisiana Photographer

My sweet sister in law Melissa is having a precious baby girl in a few months. We are so exctied and we were so honored to give her a baby shower. My sister, Jessica, along with the help of others made it so lovely. Everyone pitched in and it was one of the best showers I’ve seen. So many wonderful gifts given. So much love shown. It was such a special day.

They had the most brilliant idea to have a table set up for you to put your name and address on an envelope so that when they mail the thank you cards, all they have to do is find your name on the envelope and they are ready to go. Maybe this is something that is not new, but ol’ me who hides under a rock, thought this was truly genius! HA! Is this something you have heard of before? Tell me I’m not alone!!

Our church in Minden Louisiana has a fellowship hall that is just stunning for parties and showers. The chandeliers give such an elegant vibe to any setting. We are so thankful we have this space available for us to use! Thanks be to God who provided so much for us. If you do not know our church’s story, it’s a good one. Rather lengthy so I will not share today, but it is truly a miracle from God.

As is this precious life that we were celebrating on this special day. Little baby girl is so loved already and we are beyond thrilled to meet her!

Elaine and Emma’s Birthday Photos | Minden Louisiana Milestone Photographer

As a photographer in North Louisiana, something I love to photograph is little kids birthday sessions! It’s so fun to connect with these little ones and document them turning another year older. It goes by way too quickly!! It seems like yesterday I was just taking Emma home from the hospital and here we are celebrating her 3rd birthday! Elaine doesn’t seem like she should be 6 years old, either! Time, slow down!!

My girls are both in love with horses and cowgirl things. We went to our first rodeo in Minden, LA a few weeks ago and they LOVED it!!! Their favorite part was the barrel racing.

Becuse of their love for all things cowgirl, I watned to incorporte it in their birthday photos. This is something I love doing because it helps you remember all their fun stages through the years.

For Christmas this past year, David and I built the girls a playhouse. This is something I always wanted as a kid so when the opportunity arose, it was a dream come true.. for me. haha!! I knew I wanted to photograph my girls birthday photos in their playhouse because it was so special, to them and me. They turned out so cute I can’t even stand it. Of course, I am probably biased. But who even cares! hehe

Elaine is such a sweet girl with sass and all the diva qualities. She is a girly girl through and through and i just love it. She’s such a sweetheart. She’s so smart and loves school! She’s the best little friend a mom can have and doesn’t meet a stranger. She loves to talk and sing alllll day! Her and Emma are the best of friends (most days). Elaine tells me all the time how thankful she is that God gave us Emma so she could have a little sister.

Emma is a little fireball. Full of life and spunk. She is as shy as they come around poeple outside of our family, but when she’s comfortable her true colors shine. She is the biggest clown I’ve ever seen! She loves to make people laugh. She is as mischeveous as they come but you can’t help love her for it. She loves gum, even if she swallows it every single time. She adores my little sister’s horse Ginger with all her heart. Her favorite song is Jireh by Maverick City Music. No on in the house is allowed to sing it but her. She literally woke up singing it this morning. She knows more songs than any kid I know and sings them perfectly. Even before she could talk, she was singing songs.

We love both our girls so much!!

Esther Mason | Homer Louisiana Senior Portrait Photographer

Meet Highscool Graduate, Esther!!

We met for Esther’s senior session on the Square in Homer, Louisina. It was such a nice afternoon for a Summer in Louisiana. If you’re from around here, then I’m sure you can attest to how mild this Summer has been. It’s been so nice!! The weather for this senior session was no exception. Not too hot and a nice little breeze. The dream for your portrait session!

Esther graduated from Abeka Christian Academy and even took a trip to Pensecola, Florida to walk on stage with all the others graduating with her. How awesome is that!?! Pretty awesome if you ask me!!!

I scoped around the Square a little bit before Esther arrived and found this awesome wall that displays an art school. I knew this would be the perfect location for a few images because Esther is an artist! She’s so talented and such a sweetheart. I loved every second of our time together.

We breezed through our time at the Homer Louisiana Square and then headed out to a nice remote location that had the wildflowers she wanted. I say remote, but it was really on the side of the road. HA!! But, it was actually quite remote. I suppose. It was smack dab in the middle of nowheresville! I’m sure Esther was wondering what on earth we were doing out here, but the flowers were so pretty!! And it totally looks like a flower field! You’ll have to see for yourself below!

I’m so thankful for the wonderful opportunity to capture such special moments like these for Esther! One of the specific things she asked for was a throwing her cap in the air shot, and as you can see, we did just that! I think it is so important to make the shots that are requested a priority in getting!

Best of luck with all you do, Esther!!

See? Prefect for her, right?!

She got her cap throw!!

Can you even tell this was on the side of the road? I think not!!
