Carly & Matt's Engagement Portraits

Happy Thursday!

Ecstatic to share Carly & Matt's engagement portraits with you today! Their southern engagement session was held at my favorite ranch in Zachary, Louisiana. Shout out to Mr. Larry for always being the best host!

Carly and Matt have been dating for 6 years! They are high school sweethearts and always put God first. They are probably the sweetest human beings you will ever meet. Seriously. I met Carly earlier this year when I was looking for a nanny for Liam. To say she has been a blessing to our family is an understatement. She loves Liam like her own child and has truly become a part of our every day. Liam loves her to the moon and back because she's beautiful inside and out. They have the sweetest bond. I thank God everyday that we crossed paths and could not be more excited for her and Matt during these months leading up to their wedding. Now that I'm done crying, please enjoy a few favorites from our afternoon together!

Carly and Matt, you two have THAT kind of love. It's special. Never lose it.  So incredibly happy for you both, and I know May 27th can't come soon enough! Enjoy!

Charlotte & Thomas~ Newborn Twins

Hey ya'll!

It has been several months since I have blogged thanks to a big dose of mommyhood!  Since my last blog post I have had my hands full with my sweet baby boy, and I have also been shooting with some beautiful families.

First up, Charlotte & Thomas! These twins were born on July 6th and are pretty much the perfect pair. They are already full of personality. This was my first lifestyle newborn twin session and to say that I was ecstatic, is an understatement!

The Savoia family welcomed me into their home and allowed me to captured some sweet moments. I hope they can look back on these images a year from now and see how much they've grown as parents in such a short amount of time! It is such a blessing. I could have stayed there and photographed these babies all day, but they had to eat. Thanks to BJ, Maryam, Charlotte & Thomas for a fun morning! And thanks to my girl, Kristina Britt, for helping me with baby x2!

Meet Owen! He's a leap day baby! I was so excited while walking down the hallways of Touro to meet Owen and was double excited to see his mom, Jenn! She and I went to high school together, so it's been quite a while since we have gotten to catch up! There was a calm, quiet love that radiated throughout the room as soon as I walked in. Ryan was so gentle and protective of his new son, and Jenn was nurturing and elated that this little blessing was hers. Enjoy a few of my favorites from my Fresh 48 session with baby Owen at just one day old. Congrats to Ryan, Jenn and their families on such a blessing!
