The Minden Louisiana Chamber of Commerce hosts a gala event for their members every year to celebrate the accomplishments and honor businesses and business men and women who go above and beyond. It was such an honor to photograph this event and meet so many of Minden’s business leaders.

The theme was Arabian nights. Did they not smash it out of the ball park?!? Wow!! It looked amazing! The many hours spent and the amount of effort wasn’t wasted.

So many men and women were celebrated that I couldn’t even begin to name them all but what a honor to get to see them all.

Enjoy the lovely details from such a wonderful evening.

The Spikes Family

Oh my word, y’all. If these are the cutest little kids you ever did see. They were so incredibly sweet, too! I loved every single second of our time together. The light was gorgeous, we had hardly a cloud in the sky. It was just a dream come true.

We met at the Red River Wildlife Refuge in Shreveport, LA. This location is so good for families with small kids because there is so much room for them to just be kids. THere’s nothing they can hurt and there’s hardly a car that drives by. There are beautiful trees that create such lovely lead lines. It’s a photographer’s dream!

These sweet boys were so good at having their pictures taken, They so easily warmed up to me and were just able to be themselves. That’s always the best! I don’t ever want kiddos to be afraid of me. Of course that happens many times because I am so new to them. But when they just warm right up to me, it is so easy to get good stuff!

Thank you Spikes family, for such a fun session!!

Meet the Wright family. They are not only so sweet and fun, but look how beautiful they are! I could have photographed them all day.

We met at Lake Bistineau State Park on a Friday evening in early October. It was warm and sunny but were able to stay in the shade for the majority of the session. Lake Bistineau is one of my favorite locations in North Louisiana. I will be the first to admit that North Louisiana doesn’t have the most amazing location known to man, but there are a few pretty good ones. Thankfully, we had the park all to ourselves and it was really nice! Most of the time this park is full of other photographers and their clients. We all have to shoot somewhere, right?! Lake Bistineau just screams Louisiana with its trees draping in Spanish moss. I just love it!

When we began our session, I found out it was Selah’s birthday. How fun!! She is such a sweet little girl. Everything went so well and I even was able to get a few smiles out of Ellie, who started off very unsure about me. It’s always so rewarding when you are able to get the shy ones to open up around you. I never try to push anything on any of the kiddos because I know that I am new to them and maybe a little weird. Haha!! They almost always end up liking me and I always call that a win.

Thank you so much, Wright family! I loved every second of our time together!!
