Crunchy Leaves and Fruitloops in Ruston

When I met Robbie the other day he greeted me with a comic book full of Star Wars strips, and being that the love of my life is a Star Wars geek, we hit it off right away. 🙂 Robbie encompassed what I love about being a child photographer: he wasn’t afraid to be himself, play and laugh with me, even though we had just become friends. Thanks Alisha for letting me photograph your sweet little man, he was so much fun!

The picture above I feel like summarizes my job. Finger in camera and a pile of fruit loops.

The Ashley Family

Jaimi and I first crossed paths our Freshmen year of college at Louisiana Tech in the Elementary Education program. We were both engaged then and would chat about dresses and such between computer literacy assignments. We both changed our majors and came back into contact because she ended up in nursing school with one of my best friends and then became a nurse at the hospital I teach childbirth classes at.

Jaimi is one of those people you want to be like, she will never hesitate to speak truth to those around her and is an example of someone who is living unashamed of her faith and her values. Thanks for being an example of the kids of wife and mother I want to be Jaimi!

Josiah stepped in when I figured out it was fluffy and he could throw it. I’m not sure Autumn was thrilled about it
