Liam | RUSTON LA BABY PHOTOGRAPHER


Liam is changing so much! This was his 9 month session in his Bud to Bloom package which weā€™ll finish up at his next session soon for his cakesmash. I couldnā€™t believe he was 9 months old, so much so that I thought he was 6 months when shooting this session. It wasnā€™t till the end of his session when I realized I was wrong and that it was actually his 9 month we were shooting. Itā€™s okay though, if I can keep them a bit younger for a little longer, I wonā€™t complain.

Liamā€™s momma had requested some flowers in his pictures this time. To be honest this time of year can be hard to find flowers but I knew of one spot many photographers have used before. Any people who want to offer their flower patches for pictures, Iā€™ll all ears. It was a beautiful patch, Iā€™m unsure who keeps the place but itā€™s amazing to see how meticulous the owner is with their little spot. Iā€™ve never been a gardener and find no joy in it. I just hate working in the heat. Now give me a hammock and a coke to drink and Iā€™ll lay in the summer evenings but even during the summer day Iā€™m going to be in the A/C. Speaking of, this day was a humid one and I had sweat in every crevice. I donā€™t know if people choose Louisiana to live in besides the fact that itā€™s their home and where their family live, but if they do I wish I could get inside their brain and see what they see in this hot state of ours. Itā€™s amazing as a kid, I donā€™t remember thinking just how miserable the heat was. Not saying I didnā€™t think it as a child, just that I donā€™t remember being bothered by it because thatā€™s where I stayed usually. I still love the outdoors, I would much rather be out than in if itā€™s not stifling. Liam didnā€™t seem to mind about the heat but he WAS very stoic throughout the time. He threw a few smiles out but just a few. I love that his hair is starting to curl up! It hasnā€™t been long enough in his past sessions to curl I guess but now itā€™s just the cutest little tuft of curls. Heā€™s so stinking cute and Iā€™m so glad despite all the uncertainty of today, we could get these pictures for him even if it was spent in the heat.
