Louie 9 months | Ruston LA baby photographer

 

Oh how I have a soft spot for this little guy. I just connect so much with my little clients who return to see me every 3 months to document their journeys and Louie is one of them. I have to say the feelings aren’t always mutual with all my milestone babies. A lot probably despise getting in front of the camera with so much attention on them, the horror! But Louie has liked me from the beginning, YAY for the win! So yeah I kind of like him too.

 

This guy is just the cutest little nugget. I mean he has a beautiful momma so he was bound to be beautiful himself. But the thing that makes him the cutest has nothing to do with looks, but his personality is just hilarious! He’s very expressive! I typically include 25-30 images within each milestone session to choose from and I always go over with this guy’s sessions. I tell Ashlynn about every time I get finish with his gallery that I couldn’t bear to get rid of many cause he just has so many different looks! I hate to give too many and make some hard decisions for parents to choose later but I just can’t ever whittle his gallery down.

So in the middle of Louie’s session I had this idea to take off all his clothes and take this picture. I mean who doesn’t love a cute baby booty? I know this is a popular shot but I actually don’t do these a lot, for whatever reason I don’t know cause it’s adorable. I mean I still think my little girl’s bare booty is just the cutest thing and she’s three. It’s just a memory you’ll have as a parent seeing their cute little bums crawling or running around your house.

Oh and one more thing about this picture ^^^ you see that little duck tail hair line in the back? An old wives tale says if your child has that, then the next baby you have will be the opposite gender. So Ashlynn, whenever ya’ll decide to add number two…you’ll have to start buying pink 😉

Well Louie I can say you’ve made me a very sad girl with this last session because you really changed this time around. You’re looking like a little boy and less like a itty bitty baby. Sorry mom, grab those tissues now. I do have some encouragement though being a mom myself. Even how sad it is to see them growing up, they make up for it by giving kisses, saying “I love you”, wanting to be your shadow every waking minute. They have this intense love for you that they will never have for anyone else. When I make inside jokes with my little girl and see her dancing in the living room with her daddy I can honestly say closing a chapter is alright because after that chapter there after is special in itself. So soak up all the moments, no matter how dirty the house may be because that’ll help when you close it. To know you fully experienced it and you can fully experience the next.
