Long Time NO post eh! {Hemingbough Bridals St. Francisville}

Well hello everyone!!! It’s been forever since I’ve posted on my blog… so this is LONG overdue! I will be posting a lot in the next few days trying to play catch up to let ya’ll see some of my new work!! I’m gonna kick things off with my old pal Sarah!! I had the pleasure of shooting her bridals a while back. I’ve known Sarah my whole life … so we go way back. I was thrilled when she contacted me to do her bridals! She looked so beautiful and the location was awesome. She suggested we go to Hemingbough! I had never been there before so I was excited to try something new. The images turned out absolutely beautiful. Take a look!! Oh, and she also brought a lil guest to be in photos with her…. everyone one meet Scooter!!

uh huh, you know what it is RED AND GREEN, RED AND GREEN {LOL, I’m a nerd}{Baton Rouge Children Photographer}

Hello Fellow Photogs and Bloggers,

Wow, two post in one day. Love my job!EEEK! I’m really excited to share this post! The LeJeune family, whom I must say I adore and have grown to think of as family, contacted me to shoot photos for their beautiful little children, Landon and Aubry! I was thrilled to shoot for them again.

I was super pumped when Keri contacted me for Christmas photos.I haven’t been able to photograph them since Aubry was a newborn because I had been away at college. Aubry is now 18months and adorable as can be. I wasn’t surprised about how precious she was because I keep up with them on FB. Landon has also grown into a fine little man. I love that part of my job, getting to watch the kids grow up and their personalities develop can be so fun.

We shot the images at Pawpaw’s house this time.. he has this amazing old red ford vintage truck (I adore-a photographer’s dream). When Keri chose the location I was definitely all for it!! She also had this great idea to shoot with balloons. I love it when parents toss around ideas with me. The more creative the better and Keri is super creative. Check out her FB fan page KLynn Creations. She has some cute stuff. Any way enough rambling from me. Here are some of my favorite images from the day. <3 you guys!! Hope you enjoy!

Let’s start with one of them together. Precious

This was one of my favorites. He looks like such a Lil man.

Love the lines in this one. She is so cute!

This one was also one of my favorites. Love the way they look so natural.

We couldn’t get the phone away without her crying. Love the outfit so just had to post one of her on the phone. Girly girl all the way.

This was my favorite from the entire shoot. Keri the balloons were a great idea.

The entire family!

If you would like photographs of your children that are unique and different I would be glad to photograph them and your family. You can reach me at the contact link above or call me at 225-328-1042 or email me at info@mandinikolephotography.com. I am still booking portraits, children, families, maternity, and lifestyle for 2011 and 2012. I would be glad to meet with you and discuss pre-set packages or design something that meets your every need. At this time I am not requiring a minimum order with sessions.

Hello Friends!!

Hello Fellow Bloggers,

Sorry its been so long since I’ve last blogged. Things have been crazy in my life lately, but I’m excited that the holiday season is among us! I love this time of year!! Something about being with family and friends warms my heart!

I also enjoy watching all the Christmas movies. Gotta love Hallmark Channel movies and ABC family 25 days of Christmas! My favorite Christmas movies are The Santa Clause Series. Mom and I watch them together every year. It’s a tradition we started a few years back when I left for college. We always watched them when I came home for the week of Christmas.

I am truly excited to be home this year. I’ve missed being with family and friends during the holidays. I’m excited to be able to decorate with my parents this year. I really missed having our 10 feet tree last year. It’s always so beautiful!

Anyway enough about me.. how would you like to see some new work? I know its been a while! I’m trying get back into the swing of things. I have some images from a photo session I did of my friend Hannah. She is a fellow photographer. We met about 5 yrs ago at La Tech. She moved to Baton Rouge and gave me call to photograph her maternity session. Needless to say I was thrilled and honored that she would ask me. Check out here work at Photography by Hannah Lugibihl

Congrats Hannah and Jonathan on your new little bundle of joy, Baby E. Can’t wait to meet him.

Love that she had props! Vintage Cameras are the best!! But I’m bias.

Love E’s little shoes!!

Love this shot!! The lighting was beautiful.

Here is the cute lil baby bump photo! Can’t wait to meet baby E!

If you would like maternity photographs or photographs of your children or family that are unique and different I would be glad to set up a session with you. You can reach me at the contact link above or call me at 225-328-1042 or email me at info@mandinikolephotography.com.

Remembering 9/11

I just wanted to take time to reflect on the 10th Anniversary of a day none of us will ever forget. I know I was in High School on that dreaded day and when I reflect upon it I’m not sure I really understood the ramifications of it. I don’t think I ever thought that 10 years later we would still be fighting a War that began all those years ago. I surely never thought it would take 10 years to catch the man responsible for taking all those lives that day. Over these last 10 years I have had friends who have fought for our freedom in this war and have met many more who have been personally been touched by it. Over the last year I have met many of our service men and women who have fought for our country over many decades and I have learned the true meaning of sacrifice through their stories. I am grateful for that.

Not let us take time to remember, grieve, and express gratitude to those who have demonstrated heroism. We should always live in honor and be grateful for the country we live in as well as the freedoms that been granted to us.

Always remember the Words of God in 2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

May God Bless America
