October 27th I was able to take a trip To Sarasota Florida for the amazing opportunity to photograph newborn twins! Seriously a life goal of mine. Oh I was so excited!! We arrived late Thursday evening and got up bright and early Friday morning for the newborn session. Post session we took Elaine’s friend to the beach and the Old Salty Dog restaurant. They had a blast together!

Saturday morning we headed out to Caspersen beach in Venice, Florida searching for shark teeth. Did you find any? You bet!! Wow was that fun!

After the beach we headed back to Sarasota to clean up and head back out for an extended family session. It was fast and furious but it was fun!! We got some great legacy images.

We tried an Amish restaurant and the met friends for ice cream. We stayed out way too late but had loads of fun!

Sunday we were up and at ‘em again for church and then back out with friends for lunch, Mexican fruit, and coffee. Sounds like a weird combo but it wasn’t all at once. Haha!!

I came for work and I worked. But I also was able to see old friends I haven’t seen in way too many years and met some new ones that I just fell in love with. I totally didn’t get enough pics and I only brought out my big camera for the work related things. But hey, that’s ok. We had a blast and missed Emma so much. She wanted to stay back home with her Nannie and Pop Pop.

Before I get too much into this session, let me just make sure you are sitting down. Because these are just that stinking good. I’m not even kidding. I loved Every. Single. Photo.

The Tushner family is truly an incredible family. They are gifted in so many amazing ways. Not only are they gifted, but they use their gifts for the Lord and I know there is a huge blessing for them because of that. I can’t imagine all the people their gifts have blessed. It has to be quite the amount.

When Lori Anne reached out to me for an extended family session I was so excited. I knew it was going to be good!

If you have been around here for any length of the time you know Andrew and Candace. I was a second photographer for their wedding back in the day, I photographed them when it was just the two of them, maternity portraits, newborn, and now they are here in this extended family session with a little focus on sweet baby Abigail for her six month photos. Little Abigail is miracle from God and what a special little thing she is! She is the most beautiful baby girl I think I have ever seen!

We met for their session on Lake Bistineau in North Louisiana. It is no secret that this is one of my favorite locations. The Cypress trees, the moss, the light. It all works together to create a gorgeous location right here in North Louisiana. It can be hard to find beautiful locations in this area, but there are some really great ones mixed in.

Little Abigail was soooo good for her portraits. We got so many images it was so hard to narrow it down! I may have over done it on their gallery, but hey, that’s ok!!

There is nothing but love for the Adams family. A true Godly family and that I have loved being able to photograph year after year. They are so fun and full of life and laughter. You won’t find a more genuine family.

We met on a beautiful day in September on a gorgeous property in Minden Louisiana. We had beautiful sunshine and lots of lovely greens to create such a wonderful contrast. We all had such a wonderful time together and I know these images will be cherished for a lifetime. There is something about documenting your family year after year that is so special.

I am so thankful for each of the families that I have been so blessed to work with and I look forward to all the ones to come.

If there was only one thing I could tell a mama I would want to make sure it was something that would be beneficial and encouraging to her. There’s a million and one people giving her advice, pointing out what she’s maybe not doing right, and saying things that tear down. She doesn’t need to hear anymore of those things.

Motherhood is beautiful and trying. The sleepless nights. The tears from both you and baby because you can’t figure out what’s wrong. The ache in your heart as you watch your baby grow and do things that don’t need your help anymore. There’s so much joy and so much overwhelm.

If there were only one thing I could say, it would be “you’re doing a good job.” It doesn’t matter if your baby has colic and is crying all hours of the night. It doesn’t matter if they are a dream and sleep all night. Maybe they don’t nap unless you hold them. Maybe they are content to be put down. Maybe they’re not. Maybe they are breastfed. Maybe they are formula fed. Maybe they are fed through a feeding tube. None of these determine whether you are doing a good or bad job. None of these define you as a mom.

You are doing a good job, mama. Your baby is loved. You’re doing your very best. You’re doing a good job.

One day that baby will grow up and look back on their childhood and say, “wow, my mom was the best mom in the world and I only hope I can raise my kids the way she raised me.” And when you see them with their own family, raiding their own babies, you’ll stand proud knowing that you did a good job.

So don’t let the current circumstances or what others say try to define you as a mother. You are doing you’re very best and yes, you are doing a good job.

We are so thankful you stopped by. Be sure to check out our website to see more gorgeous images of the sweetest families we are so incredibly honored to call our clients.
