On the Bayou: Part Deux {The R Family Photographer: Slidell, Louisiana}

Think of a two lane highway, a wobbly old bridge, parking on the side of the road. Think of unloading babies and tip-toeing through slick mud and briers, sand and grass all mixed together. Think of a clearing, and a fast moving river named for an oyster's treasure. A clear sky, happy little boys running around, and a couple who is married, but flirt like they are still dating. I felt so lucky to be the one to capture these moments. Its like I was peeking through a window into their precious life. The boys were in the sweetest moods. And the chill mood everyone seemed to have really fueled it. They played in the sand, waded into shin deep water. We were entertained by a shrimp boat with a curious puppy. A puppy, who upon seeing those gorgeous little boys, hopped right out of that shrimp boat and swam right up to us. And Momma H and I cringed, because we all know what wet dogs do. They find the cutest, cleanest person, and shake all their(muddy river) water off. But this puppy just sniffed a little and went on his way. I saw amazement in little eyes so many times during our session. It really was a play date.
It was such a pleasure taking your family portraits again, especially on a bright day with smiling kiddos. (Our original session was plagued with mosquitoes, tropical downpours, and, well, the sun going down.) I would say that we had everything right going for us this time around:





























It's just easy to take beautiful pictures of beautiful people.

Thanks so much to the R Family!
