Sweet Sisters

Here are two sweet sisters that I had the pleasure to photograph.  It was for little sisters newborn session . She was a little older then what I tend to photograph for newborn portraits, but we still captured many beautiful photographs  of this stage of her life and she was actually very cooperative even though  a little bit older.

It was so sweet to see big sister loving  and caring for her new little baby sister.

If you are expecting a new little baby and would like timeless beautiful photographs to remember this time of your child’s life then contact me ( Anna-Karin) to set up a time for your session.

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.

Little Boy and his best friend!

Meet sweet and adorable little G.  He is a baby planner of mine and this was from his six month, sitting up session.

Handsome Little G

To this session , little G’s parents also brought along their family dog. It was actually very sweet to photograph them together. You could tell little G loved having his best friend there.

I loved to see how the “boys” even had matching outfits!

The R Family

This was such a great session and little G was so happy the whole time. His happy mood was very contagious and brought smiles to all of our faces.  All the photographs turned out beautifully from this session.

Holding Mom & Dad's Hands

These are only a handful of the many beautiful portraits captured from this session. There was so many to choose from that turned out well.

Sweet little G

His parents purchased my digital collection to make sure they would have access to all of their files and I know they wanted them all.

Yummy thumb!

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.

With that Anna-Karin’s Photography want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

If you are thinking about a professional photo session now is a good time of setting up a time for your session. You can do so by contacting me ( Anna-Karin) at (225) 284-6354 or by filling out the contact form on my website. I look forward to hear from you!

Time to clean up for Christmas....

In my mothers' hands

Meet handsome and adorable baby N. He was a sweetie and came to me at my studio for his newborn session with his parents.

All Curled up...

He was such a good baby and slept for almost the whole session and cooperated with all the poses I wanted to capture for his parents.

First Family Photograph

Baby N’s father is a fire fighter and brough along his fire helmet to try to include with the newborn photographs. I love it when my clients bring along things that are important to them and I get to incorporate them into the photographs.

Lil Fire Fighter!

At first we tried to have him posed in the helmet, but little N did not like that idea at all. So we had to figure out a little different option and this is what worked and still showcased his father’s helmet.

If you are expecting a new little one and want beautiful and timeless newborn portraits like these that document that fast fleeting newborn stage. 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.

If possible it is best to set up your session while still pregnant. Then we can for sure fit you in while the baby is still newborn and little and very cooperative.  At Anna-Karin’s Photographer we prefer to photograph the newborn babies in the first two weeks if possible. At that time they are still little and the newborn stage will be documented well. I can still photograph the babies when older then that, but keep in mind that older babies are often not up for as many poses as the newborns are.

Even newborn babies get sad sometimes....

I look forward to hear from you and to capture your beautiful baby in the first few weeks of life!

Little Tootsies...

Here is a wedding with a special couple that I had the honor to photograph this summer that I want to share. The couple are previous clients of mine as I photographed their daughters newborn session last fall.

I don’t photograph that many weddings any more as I used to years ago. I still have children that are fairly young and I want to be available for them more during weekends, but this time it was fun to make an exception as I already knew this couple.

Mr. & Mrs. Dodson!

This couple had a beautiful wedding and their little girl was part of the big celebration as well.

The beautiful bride and her little girl!

The bride was stunning in her gown.

The beautiful bouquet from the wedding

Together they make one beautiful couple!

Here are just a few of their beautiful photographs captured on their big wedding day. If you are planning a smaller wedding and are looking for a photographer I am more then happy to help you. You can fill out the contact form on my website or by calling (225)284-6354.

Classic Little Beauty!

Here is a session I have been wanting to share for a while. My recent photo studio relocation of Anna-Karin’s Photography to Denham Springs Antique District has gotten me side tracked  a bit in the blogging dept. Better late then never…. Here is little C. This was from her one year photo session. She was on my babyplan during her first year and this was the last session of the plan and we decided to have her one year baby plan photo session outside.

Sweet Baby C

It was success and this sweet little girl really loved being outside for the session. She was all full of many natural and lovely smiles, which made the end result of the portraits just perfect.

Along to the session also came her big brother and parents. I got a couple of lovely captures  of all of them together as well.

Happy and Helpful Big Brother!

The P Family

Of course we had to end the session with a big cake smash to celebrate C milestone first birthday.

Hi Mommy!

Actually on this particular session a childhood friend of mine from Sweden was here visiting and came along to see me work. She captured this photo of me and C’s mom at the end of the session when little C is devouring the birthday smash cake baked from my friend Ashley. Let me know if you want her information for wonderful and tasty eggless cakes perfect for children.

Birthday Girl!

Anyway it was fun for a change to see me captured while working, as I am pretty much always the one behind the lens lol.

The beautiful fall weather and cooler temperatures has finally arrived here in S. Louisiana. If you would like a portrait session with some gorgeous timeless photographs to give for gift giving this upcoming holiday and for custom professional greeting cards of your family.

First Birthday Cake Smash!

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.

Sweet Baby Rabbit...

With this move I have been a bit delayed in the blogging but am hoping to get right back to that in the next few days. I have many beautiful sessions I still want to share!

Now to the special news. With the move and reorganizations of my stuff at the studio, I have decided to hold a one time moving sale of old digital files (negatives)  from your completed sessions with me. These files available are from sessions that took place prior to September of 2010. If you would like to own your files for safe keeping and documenting then contact me. The full resolution files are available for $250.00 per session on disc. Again these must be from completed sessions. The files are as is, but are full resolution where you can print from. Either call me ( Anna-Karin) at 225-284-6354 or e-mail me  or fill out the contact form on my website. I look forward to hear from you!

Here is a lovely session I want to share. This was sweet and adorable little JB.  He was such a sweet baby boy.

These were taken when little JB was just a few weeks old. He was alert for a long time during the session and towards the end I think we wore him out.

These are just a few of the many beautiful photographs captured at his newborn session. If you would like beautiful prints like these please contact me ( Anna-Karin) to set up a time for your session. You can either fill out the contact form on my website or by calling me at (225)284-6354. I look forward to hear from you!

If you are wanting beautiful newborn photograph’s like these, it is best to make sure your session is on my calendar before baby is born. This way I can fit you in at that special time when baby is brand new and that special time passes by so quickly.
