Baby Tony is 6 Months {Baton Rouge Area Children’s Photographer}

I can’t believe my first group of babies are half way through. I want to cry. Man, these guys grow up even faster than my own did. Or I’m just getting old. Let’s go with fast, mk?


Tony, it was my pleasure as usual, even if you did make your mamma sing about aliens for almost a half an hour! I won’t forget the fuzzy rug next time.

Rocco 6 months and some holiday cheer {Baton Rouge Area Children’s Photographer}

In the busy season it’s so hard to keep up with things. I was kicking myself for not having blogged Rocco’s 6 month session yet when I had already delivered his pictures. But then I realized it had only been a week and a half. Rocco’s peeps are just on the ball like that! Shot, orderd, and delivered in 1 week! We clearly make a great team! Here’s a little peak of the yumminess that is Rocco.

I even got to do his Christmas card, and we all know how much I love doing that!
It’s always a pleasure to see Rocco. Can’t wait for your 9 months shoot dude!

Happy 9th Birthday Emme! {Fantastically Late!}

Dearest female cherub,

Once again it’s time for your birthday letter and once again it’s late. It’s fantastically late, setting new records even! I continue to make fabulous failings in this area. You’re welcome. Now let’s never speak of this again.

For you’re 9th birthday we hosted a fashion shoot birthday party for 8 of your closest friends. We had some really fun pictures from that.


But being a DeGraff, that would never be enough, so of course there was a family celebration. Although you were turning 9, you enjoy eating with the 60 and over set, so the family celebrated by eating at Piccadilly and then headed to the movies. We watched Spy Kids Smell-a-vision and then finished the night up by purchasing half the books at Borders going out of business sale. Good times. If you are 72 yrs, or enjoy putting sharp objects in your left eye.

I’m sure there were many other spectacular events, but it’s simply been too long. Yes, something to be said for writing these things in a timely fashion. Duly noted. I thought I said to never mention it again?

Emmers, you have turned into quite a beauty. I hesitate to mention it because I certainly want you to be known for other things, but it’s there. And it’s certainly hard to ignore. I hear it every where we go. That and the bit about your really great hair, that I’m not bitter about at all. Nope.

You continue to love dance. This year we have switched to a professional studio and you are flourishing there. It always cracks me up how you trip on the way into dance and then dance like the most graceful creature ever. I think you may get that from me. Sorry.

And lets not forget how you spread your wings even further by spending the summer attending musical theater camp. There’s no better place for you than on the stage!

You continue to be a good student and a social butterfly. At this point I doubt that this will ever change. That is simply who you are. A smart, caring, loving person who cares about everyone, (and needs to talk to them all.) There are a whole lot worse things to be in life.

Keep up the good work. I love you always,
Mom

The H Family {Baton Rouge Area Family Photographer}

It was a crazy two weddings and a family shoot kinda weekend. Smack dab in the middle of it all I met up with this a door bell family. Seriously, some of the most photogenic kids I’ve ever shot, and let’s face it – I shoot pretty people!



Thanks guys for having me out to play this weekend. It was a wonderful break in the middle of crazy weekend.

The Woods {Baton Rouge Area Family Photographer}

Yesterday the super fun Woods family and I squeezed in a session before the big game. It was also interesting for me because my camera is out for repairs so I’m shooting with an older camera. The camera I started out with actually. I love the Woods because when we were planning this session, I explained that I would be shooting with the older, simpler camera, and they told me that it wasn’t the camera they were hiring. That earns them a place in the DRY Ink hall of fame forever. Amen.



I love this picture because the mom is such a big reader. It is a huge part of her life and her daughter is definitely following in her foot steps.

Honestly the Woods are some of favorite people. I couldn’t of asked for a better warm up for the game.
