Rounding out the Slidell mini sessions is my little buddy Aiden. I’ve been photographing Aiden since he was a tiny little baby. I don’t think I blogged his newborn session, I couldn’t find it, but here he is at 6 months and then his mini last year. I was so thrilled when they booked a mini during my trip back to Louisiana. Always animated, always cute, but I was not ready to have the tables turned on me right out of the gate!! He’s pretty good too!!!

Uh, let me just go ahead and say this now so we can move on. I LOVE HIS HAIR. LOVE IT.

Another mini ready to share. This family is celebrating the first birthday of their little guy and boy do I love this age.

I love this little smile and his big, bright eyes….

These next two images make me smile from the inside out. As a momma, when my kiddos are grown, I want photos like this of us, the little moments you want to remember…..this little piggie…..

and the ever famous…..momma’s gonna get yoouuuuu…..

I can hear him laughing just looking at it!!

I don’t know if I’m super tired from a crazy long week or what….but this totally gave me a case of the giggles tonight. I had to come share. One of the tricks we photographers use to get kids to look into the black box of torture is by telling them there is something interesting in there. I’ve used everything from princesses to elmo to candy to airplanes to, well….whatever. And it usually works at least once to get some good eye contact. But every now and then I catch one of these “what the heck crazy lady, i don’t see nothin’ in there!” looks. All you photographers out there know what I’m talking about, you get them too…..

Another Slidell mini session is up and ready to share. Charli and her beautiful family were one of my very first clients in Louisiana. The first time I photographed them Addison was just a tiny little baby….but now, she’s a beautiful little girl….

And colin, he was the cutest little toddler running around the house back then. But just today, this big kid started kindergarten. No way!!!

I just can’t get over how fast time flies…

Real quick, just one of each of the gorgeous 7 kiddos I got to hang out with yesterday….

First up, Ethan. His beautiful momma is a photographer but I saw zero signs of PCS (photographer child syndrome)….he was a dream!

Here are Colin & Addison. They were some of my very first clients here in Louisiana. It’s always fun to see how much they have grown (and boy have they!) Looking at Addi, there is no sign of the itty bitty baby I first photographed, 100% big girl now.

and Little Miss Laney….oh my gosh I fell in love with her curls. seriously!
