The Longest Post Ever. {Family and Children's Photographer}

It has been quite a while since I have updated with a new post. But, I have a good reason. I have been blessed with an abundance of work. And I am so grateful for it! So I have been up to my eyeballs in editing, cropping, ordering, delivering, fighting with Fed Ex, plus the usual Christmas shopping, working as a Nurse, and these two gorgeous little creatures that need me more than anything else I listed. So, needless to say, I've been up late after they go to bed, utilizing Mollie's nap time (since Maggie has boycotted naps since she was 18 months old) and any spare moment I find, I fill with working on my pictures. I'm very pleased with all of my recent shoots, and although I've had 6 sessions in about 4 days, I've somehow managed to use every productive second I have, and I'm not really that far behind. I also have been so lucky to have a fantastic group of customers, and very patient and understanding people in my life. I'm truly thankful. I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, and a holy season, regardless of your religion. This is probably going to be my longest post, because each of my most recent sessions will be represented individually, but in the same post. So, here we go.

So its been a long standing joke that the Meteorologists in southeast Louisiana really just guess at the weather. Its a lot of 50% this, and "most likely" that. Well, this Saturday morning, it was "probably" going to be chilly. 40 degrees later, we were COLD. But these two hilarious little guys and their 8 month pregnant momma and super nice daddy were just fine. They did a great job, and although the boys made me work for their smiles, it was well worth it. They delivered.








Best of luck with the rest of your pregnancy! I can't wait to meet little Gracie! Thanks for asking me to do your pictures! Your boys did great :)



The BIG Family {Family Photographer: Slidell, Louisiana}

K approached me in September about scheduling family portraits for her family, including her siblings, and step family. What a gorgeous bunch to photograph!
I would say for a shoot with 14 people involved, it went remarkably well. K you have a lovely family, and I had a great time taking your portraits! Enjoy!

The B Family {Family Photographer: Slidell, Louisiana}

For some people, the idea of taking pictures of a family with six kids might be somewhat intimidating. Well, if you know me, and you know the size of my family, you know that six kids is the norm for me. I was far from intimidated, I was delighted. And any other photographer would have missed out. Let me just tell you, these were the best behaved children, and so beautiful and polite, they could have all been in commercials or walking down a runway. It was a wonderful experience with fantastic results. Enjoy!

Such gorgeous children, and such a wonderful family!



The I Family: {Family Photographer: The Bluffs, Slidell, Louisiana}

I have known Momma I since high school, although she was more friends with my brothers, since they were closer in age. She has a beautiful family, and her two sons are just precious. It was chilly when we started the shoot, and it was just plain cold by the end. But everyone tolerated it fairly well. Lovely pictures, and a truly sweet family. You can see how much these two love being a mommy and a daddy.






It was so fun, and I just loved all the LSU and Saints gear!!!



The A girls {Family Photographer: Slidell, Louisiana}

I've been blessed to be able to take Little Miss L's pictures before, and her and her mother have only gotten more beautiful since our first shoot (which, actually was my very first shoot, EVER so C and L have a special place in my heart) L has gotten a little bigger and is still the sweetest little darling you ever laid eyes on. She had just woken up from a nap, and was in the most adorable, giggly mood ever. It of course made for gorgeous pictures.








Thanks for putting faith in me to take L's pictures, as my very first paying shoot. You started it all! Forever grateful!


The S Family {Family Photographer: Olde Town Slidell, Louisiana}
Another lovely family that I have had the pleasure of taking portraits for once before, with gorgeous results, we got lucky again! The twins and Mister K have grown so much, I couldn't believe my eyes! B, you are gorgeous, and so photogenic! You have incredible children with a wonderful momma! Picture perfect!









To everyone who has been following me from the beginning and even the newcomers, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a New Year full of excitement, blessings, and love. You have all shown me so much support, I pray you have the same in your own lives.

So much love,
Katy
