Meet sweet little A. I have had the opportunity to photograph this pretty little girl a couple of times during her first year. This session was to celebrate her first birthday. We choose to do it outside, as this age has so much more fun outside running around as they please, and I just follow. That is exactly what we did and I think everyone involved was happy.

Since this was little A’s official one year session her mom brought along a cute cup cake. It was fun to see her dive into it and enjoy a little snack during our session.

The plantation setting with this beautiful little girl made for a wonderful photo setting. If you would like a session like this of your child, please contact me (Anna-Karin 225.284.6354) to setup your session.

Here is handsome little J. His parents were so patient and waited for me to come back from my trip to Sweden in order to have his next session on my babyplan. I usually do it around 4 months of age, but due to my travels we were close to 5 months for J.

His parents brought along an adorable outfit that his dad had worn when he was the same age. It was in perfect condition and grandma came along to make sure little J could fit into it during our session. He looked so handsome in it!

Little J was quite the athlete as well. He held onto his toes real well.

His favorite part of the session was to play with mom and dad.

If you have a little one and would like to schedule a photo session to document the growing stages. Please contact me to set up a session. I am currently booking for the last week of October. If you have holiday portraits in mind, now would be the best time to call for your session time in order to get your order placed before the holiday cut off time. My (Anna-Karin’s photography) phone number is: (225) 284-6354 .

Here is a beautiful lady I had the opportunity to photograph while she was still pregnant and then again when their little daughter was only a few days old. I will say I am very proud that little G and her parents took the over three hour long trip to come and see me when their baby was not even a week old. The results were great. Baby G was very cooperative and I got exactly what I was hoping for from my session. It makes a big difference if we are able to capture the newborn’ness in the first two weeks.

If you are pregnant and would like to schedule a session to document this special time, check out my maternity package information on my FAQ page on my website. I love to photograph maternity sessions. Another benefit is that I get a change to create a relationship with the parents before baby is actually here.

Meet pretty little E. She has the longest and prettiest lashes. What a sweet little girl.

These are from her four month session a little while ago. She was so good.

Her parents brought the pretty christening gown to document this special time. I am sure it will become an heirloom that little E will pass down to her children one day.

If you would like to schedule a session for your child I am currently booking for mid October at this point.

Since I still don’t have regular access to internet connection since hurricane Gustav, please call me to set up your appointment. My number is: Anna-Karin’s Photography : (225)284-6354. I look forward to hear from you.

Here is sweet little L. She recently turned one year and we celebrated with a cake smash. She loved the cake and ate every single crumb that there was.  She stood up and held onto the little piece of paper that the cake was sitting on looking at us as if she wanted more. The cake was a creation by Ashley Stephens. If you would like her contact information for tasty and adorable little cakes let me know and I will happy share. Little L is a graduate of my baby plan and it has been a true pleasure to see her change from tiny newborn to independent young toddler.

After our session, little L was so messy with all the cake crum’s and frosting covering her hair and body. She had to get a little bath in my sink at the studio before it was time for her to leave.

If you would like to set up a session for your child, feel free to call me to do so. Anna-Karin’s photography (225)284-6354. I am still struggling with internet access due to our temporary move since hurricane Gustav. If you are trying to get in touch with me call me first. At this point I only have internet access here and there. At this point I am unsure when I will actually have normal internet coverage, but I will post here on my blog as soon as I know.

I can still get back with you by e-mail, it may just take a day or two longer then it normally takes.

I wanted to share this beautiful newborn little girl. Her parents were so good and came to me when she was only a couple of days old. Because they came when she was that young we got many beautiful and lovely photographs that they now have as a memory of this special time.

She was so good for us and put up with all the different poses I wanted to capture from this session.

If you are expecting a little one and would like beautiful portraits like these. Please contact me while you are still pregnant. We will then schedule a time in your child’s first two weeks to photograph the newness of your little one. The first two weeks is the absolute best time to do this as when they get older then that they are much more alert and it is hard to capture the newborn sleepy images. Right around two weeks the baby will be going through a growth spurt, this time they like to spend longer time eating. This can make a photo session a bit difficult as baby then is not happy about being photographed but rather want to be fed. Also, many newborns get baby acne that sets in around the second week and can sometimes last for up to month. This is sometimes hard to hide when photographing newborns, hence one more reason to why  I prefer the newborns in their first two weeks of life.
