James + Genae | Baton Rouge family portraits

James and Genae are "THAT" couple. You know, the beautiful couple with the cool house and the adorable kid and always are so well groomed, put together and fashionably dressed, and still so nice and friendly you can't help but love them through their perfections ;-) (But really, I don't know how they do it, but they do. I need to up my yoga-pants-every-day game a wee bit!)

Elkori Fall Family Fun

Elkori Fall Family Fun

It is wild how time flies. This photoshoot was several years ago with the Elkori Family. I babysat Abrisa for several years, and then once Dax was born I would watch both of them several times a week. On facebook I just saw some pictures of them and HOLY MOLY they look like such grown ups.

It is such a beautiful things when a new baby enters the world. I can't wrap my mind around just how marvelous of a miracle life is. How do those little babies fit into us? How do they come out knowing how to sleep and eat and breath. I'm always blown away at how perfect these little humans are, straight from the get-go. Being pretty pregnant myself at the moment, I'm just amazed that one of these little guys (in my case a girl) is inside of me RIGHT NOW.

Hayden + Kayla Anniversary Shoot in Baton Rouge

Hayden + Kayla Anniversary Shoot in Baton Rouge

These guys were too much fun during their anniversary photoshoot! First of all, I love it when people decide they want pictures celebrating love, even if they're not "official" engagement pictures. I had a friend who started doing "Just because I love you" shoots for people who had been married a while but had never gotten the cool engagement pictures, and I LOVE that idea. (hint hint if you never got your dream engagement picts)

7 Kids and 25 years later these two couldn't be cuter or more in love. They are adventurers to the core, and have traveled to like, 70 countries for various missions programs and trips. Basically imagine Indiana Jones became a Christian, and had 7 kids.

I Met Carla and Oliver back when she was pregnant with her little boy and we took some family and maternity pictures (You can see those here). I love that I have been able to document their family as it can grown. Also Newborns are so magical. I can't believe how perfect they are right from the get-go. God is the best.
