Brittney & Chip

I recently asked Chip Blalock and Brittney Lisette Babin to model for a swim wear shoot. It had been over 2 years since my last swim wear shoot and I knew my portfolio could use some updating. I think they made a great team and hope to work with both of them again! Thanks again you two for rockin’ it poolside! Oh and for putting up with the children swimming in the pool.:)

Giveaway Session for a Newborn Boy

Amy Cannizaro Burris and her husband are the winners!:)

I’ve been very tempted to get into newborn photography for quite some time… but due to school have not had any time of day to try it out. Now that school ends in a week I have decided to host a giveaway! Yes, that’s right, I’ll be giving away a newborn baby boy session to the mother I think deserves it the most! Please enter by submitting a comment below and telling me why you’re deserving of a free newborn session and include your due date in the comment! (If you feel it is too personal to comment below, email me at lhoffm5@lsu.edu.)

The session will include 2-3 hours of my time photographing your baby, a private gallery of 10-15 edited images, and 1 digital file of your choice. That’s a $300 value, free. No print order will be required but you will not receive any full resolution images aside the one digital file.

REQUIREMENTS/RULES:
1.) If selected you’ll have to sign a model release form for your baby, allowing me to use any images on my website for advertising.
2.) The session must take place 3-6 days after you give birth. The reason for this is to ensure your baby is sleepy and cooperates for the images.
3.) You must be due in late May or early June.
4.) Your baby must be a baby boy.
4.) You will have to live within 20 miles of my address in Baton Rouge, LA 70817, if not, you’ll have to bring your baby to me for the session.

Oh yeah, I ordered this little lion hat below, which is why the baby has to be a boy! The hat is by Jennaration Yarns.
I also ordered a long tan/cream elf hat and two wooden board backdrops!

Last but not least a picture of the backdrops I ordered!


Misty, Popcorn, & Miracle

Meet Misty, Popcorn, & Miracle, I love these three! Miracle is the gorgeous, spunky abyssinian, miracle is the black and white kitty, and Popcorn is the beautiful white ball of fluff. They are real characters and it was a pleasure to meet them and their owners. I very much adore these images and know their owners will appreciate them for years to come.:)
