Lottie | Ruston LA Child Photographer

You might hear me tear up a bit as I write this blog. I just can’t believe how quick this year has flown by. I took a workshop to teach me all I needed to know about posing and photographing newborns, I vowed to learn something before I handled parent’s special blessings, before I ever laid a hand on them. After my weekend of learning lighting, posing, and soothing…Anne contacted me about her precious baby girl Lottie and capturing her newborn session. I was super excited to start this journey and wondered how it would go. Could I put into practice all I learned? Am I cut out for this type of photography? When I got that little butterball back, I wrapped her up laid her down and she looked and smiled at me, I could not believe the shot! No newborn does that, look and smile! I seriously don’t think I’ll ever get a shot like that again. I’ve been photographing Lottie throughout her first year since and I’m so honored that Anne trusted me to keep coming back. I think I learned more and more about my trade with each of this girl’s sessions.

Lottie always smiles and always cries at every session! HAHA!! No lie and I love it! I really love mad shots almost as much as happy shots. I think cause that’s reality. Babies cry. They can’t tell you they think you’re being stupid snapping all these pictures continuously without end so they cry. Can’t get my bottle fast enough…cry. Can’t reach that toy….cry. You won’t let me pull the dogs ears….cry. I think you get the idea. We see them cry and make those pouty faces so much and want to pull our hair out but in reality, one day they won’t do that anymore and we’ll remember how cute those faces were or how funny it was and to remember it with pictures is so much better cause you know…a picture’s worth ;).

So very excited to see all these babies grow up and be apart of their first year. Oh and to answer the question I asked myself before “am I cut out for this type of photography”…. I’d say so.

I’m kind of loving it….. <3 <3 <3
