What a doll baby Joshua is! I've never seen such a family so in love with their new baby. His older sister was head over heels for her baby brother.
I loved incorporating a lot dad's military uniforms during Joshua's photo shoot. When parents ask to include memorable items in the session I always say OF COURSE! My goal is to create memorable images that they will cherish for a lifetime.

Baby Kinsley was born in Thibodaux, LA at a whopping 9.1 pounds! She definitely had some major obstacles at birth to overcome. She's a miracle baby as her mom and family says.
She didn't say a peep during her session and slept pretty much the entire time. I couldn't help but include all the cute newborn baby accessories during her photo shoot.

Baby Hendrix and his family traveled from New Orleans for his newborn session. He was an absolute joy to photograph. His mom and dad were over the moon with their sweet baby boy.
Newborn sessions are one of the most memorable photo sessions as newborns are this little for such a short time. It's always an honor to be chosen to document these moments for sweet families.

Baby Benjamin and his family drove from New Orleans to the studio for his newborn photo session. Mom and dad were head over heels with their new baby boy. As you can see he is one ADORABLE baby!
Me and my assistant were so in love with every set up we did during his session. He made our job easy that day. Sometimes they may fuss during a session but that's ok! I always tell my clients that baby leads the session. We follow their lead.

We love Melinda Gilmore Photography. Melinda captures the sweetest moments for our family. Not only are her pictures beautiful but the overall experience is so much fun. She makes sure to have everything set up and ready to go for each session and has everything you need there at her studio. Everything is so clean and I can tell she puts in so much time preparing for the session. 100% recommend her.

Melinda is a fantastic photographer, she cared for my girls so well during our sessions. She was extremely professional and my family felt safe and so comfortable in her studio. She had the magic touch because both of my babies did so wonderful during our sessions with her. Melinda’s work is truly beautiful and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my most precious memories!

When I first spoke to Melinda about photographing Chandler, she asked about our family and our background. I shared with her that Chandler was not our firstborn; she has a sister in Heaven who was born pre-term and did not survive. Melinda took one of Chandler’s photos and created a beautiful rainbow above her to honor her connection to her sister and her place as our “rainbow baby.” We are so grateful to Melinda for capturing our sweet little Chandler at such a precious time! It seems like she is growing so fast right before our eyes!
