Go ahead and romanticize your life. All those sweet little moments that happen when you are not paying attention because you have a laundry list of things that need to be done, appointments to be made and endless dropping off and picking up. You deserve to see the amazing love you are showering on your children, and in return they are giving you. The hand holding, cuddles, laughter and the way your kids look at you! It’s so sweet. You and your partner got this, your give and take of caring for your kids make for a wonderful chaotic loving family.
I see proof of this every time I follow a family around with a camera. And I am here for it! This past year, I have witnessed families welcoming their 1st, 3rd and even 4th child into their embrace, while others have had great loss this year. Through it all there is a constant reminder that when it comes to family you don’t have to be perfect, you just have to be there. With every glance, laugh, and wordless reach of a hand you are telling a story of love.
This Best of Family Photography 2023 retrospective include some of my favorite moments from this past year of photographing families in and around New Orleans.
Thank you to all my clients. I feel so fortunate to continue doing what I love and to help preserve this year for your children–so they remember the many good things you gave them, most of all your love. I don’t take being your family photographer lightly, I am a dedicated legacy keeper, memory archivist and childhood storyteller. In return, I get to talk all things parenting during a family or newborn session. I’ve leaned in to learn all types of tricks ranging from how to get your kids to bed, go-to snacks and the best way to navigate the tumultuous toddlerhood. Most importantly, I’ve learned we are all just winging it, day to day, hoping for the best. Hoping our children remember they were truly and deeply loved.
