"A Streetcar named Desire" from New Orleans

Once again I am participating with many of my photographer colleagues around the world in a blog carnival. We are planning on doing these on a regular basis, to stretch ourselves creatively and to remember to shoot something for our own imagination and just for fun. This can sometimes be hard to find the time to do when running busy photography businesses. So by participating in this blog carnival with other professional child photographers on a regular basis, we are making sure there is a little bit of time for our self and to have a creative outlet.

This month the challenge is alternative camera. I chose my alternative camera to be my iPhone. I use it all the time for quick on the go shots when I want to document something but did not bring my real camera with me. I am sharing a handful of my iPhone images in this blog post.

Breakfast time for the Elf on the shelf!

This year of 2011 has flown by and is almost to an end. It has been a very busy but good year for Anna-Karin’s Photography with portrait clients, commercial clients included commercial hotel clients and a big contract for office of tourism for Louisiana.

Our elf is quite the talented sports photographer!

I have also this past fall moved my professional photo studio location to the antique district in Denham Springs. It has been a good move with a much larger studio space. The new photo studio space is located at: 123 North Range Blvd, Denham Springs, LA 70726 . I hope to see you there sometime!

Our elf drank up all our pancake syrup....

With this being holiday season I thought I share some fun elf on the shelf photographs from moments of the elf’s visit in my own house this past month. I have two boys and especially my youngest has been really into trying to find our elf every morning.Some days our elf was quite naughty and got into trouble….

Someone tp'd our Christmas tree......

If you are not familiar with the elf on the shelf you can find the book that comes with an elf at about any book store.

I was also able to get some beautiful photographs of mom and her little ones. I try to always make sure we can get mom included in at least one photograph. As moms are usually the ones to always take the photos and are not documented as often with their children.

This month the challenge is the color Yellow.

Yellow Leafs and Beautiful Fall colors

The colors of yellow in the autumn colors comes later for us down here in the deep south then it does to the northern parts of this country. Hence the reason I am choosing to use this beautiful portrait from last fall that show cases the color yellow in the leafs. This sweet boy was a baby planner of mine and this was from his one year session outside. He had a fun time playing with the leafs during our photosession in Baton Rouge.

Twin Brothers

Here are two adorable and sweet twin boys that I recently photographed for their seven month session at my Baton Rouge photography studio. These adorable brother’s are members of my baby plan where I will photograph them for four sessions through out their first milestones in their life. This studio photo session was for their sitting up session.

Happy Baby Boy!

It was so fun to see how much they had changed since their newborn session. Now they were all full of expressions and smiles and could sit up all on their own.

Brother

Also it was very clear that even though they are twin brothers, they are two different personalities and it shows in their photographs. One of the boys was a little bit more outgoing and the other a little bit more shy during our photo session. I can’t wait to see if that will have changed for their next photo session at one years old.

Beautiful Mama with her sweet twin baby boys

The boys mom was the one that brought the twins to their photo session, and I was able to get a capture of her with her sweet twin boys. She really has become quite the super mom that can handle to multi task and tend to her multiples very easily now. I was impressed!

Beautiful Little C

I want you to meet beautiful and adorable miss C!

I have photographed her several times in the past,  this was when she used to be my baby planner when she was in her first year of life.

It was so fun for me to get to meet her again at this age and see how much she has grown and changed since she was little.

Little C is now a big girl and was about 3.5 yrs old in these photographs and was absolutely adorable and a true joy to photograph again.

She has the most beautiful eyes!

This time around we had a family photosession and it was nice to get their relationship captured.

Mama's Little Girl

Little Miss C is now all full of giggles and smiles, and was as happy as can be coming along on our session. I think it is safe to say she had a fun time, as I did I!

Little Baby Bear

Meet adorable little C. He was born at 27 weeks of gestation, and was therefore 13 weeks premature. He spent 11 weeks or 80 days in the NICU with his parents watching over him.

He was a little fighter and grew and did so well, even though he was born so early. Once he was released from the hospital he came to me for a newborn photo session. Even though he was a preemie baby and a couple of months old already at the time of our session , he was acting just like a typical newborn baby. Except that his belly button had already healed long before his session!

Little Fighter C

Here are just a few of the many beautiful photographs his family ordered from his newborn session.

Little C joined my photographic baby plan and I am so looking forward to see him again next time when he can sit up on his own.The baby plan is a great way to make sure your child’s first and fast fleeting milestones are well documented. To find out more information about my baby plan please check out the FAQ section on my website. It is found under information from the main menu.

If you are expecting a new little one and would like beautiful photographs like these of your new little one, then contact me ( Anna-Karin) to setup a time for your session. You can do so by either calling me at (225)284-6354 or by filling out the contact form on my website.
