Gracen | Ruston LA Newborn Photographer

A Thousand Words by Catrina

I have really been so blessed to photograph so many babies this year. I just canā€™t believe that next month will be December! Woah, can you seriously fathom that? So while I sit here and think back on the year I canā€™t help but smile. Iā€™ve really enjoyed being a photographer. Back when I was 16 I always thought it would be fun to be one, now that I am Iā€™ve learned quite a few things. Iā€™m definitely a creative soul but a business woman is coming to be more of a challenge. Maybe I shouldā€™ve went to college in business so I wouldā€™ve known what to do in the beginning??? Despite all the yucky work if I could go back to my 16 year old self and answer the question of ā€œwhether itā€™s fun or notā€ Iā€™d say heck yes! Itā€™s a relaxing fruit of labor for myself. So hereā€™s to 3 years next year of starting my dream.

Speaking of college, Iā€™d like to introduce the newest little TECH fan! I get a few requests to ā€œplace baby in a hatā€ of some sort or another. You would think itā€™s pretty easyā€¦uh no. Iā€™m a stubborn little woman though, Iā€™m also a perfectionist with my images. If I donā€™t feel it looks right then I donā€™t shoot it. Gracen here made my job so easy. She didnā€™t go in without a fuss but she popped herself in there snugly and just perfectly posed. I was elated, I mean look how adorable she is as a bulldog! That was all her doing. Check out your new little mascot Ruston <3. After we can some beautiful family shots I went right into our one on one time together (I guess I should say one on two since my assistant was helping). Ok so Iā€™m not kidding when I say this but I think Gracen is THE BEST newborn model Iā€™ve EVER photographed. She slept harder then Iā€™ve ever slept and I sleep through tornados, no seriously ask my husband. What a perfect model.

Iā€™m so glad I got to meet the Nichols family and both of their beautiful daughters. Itā€™s always a pleasure to meet new Ruston peeps and be apart of their special moments.
