With the overload of Logan pictures on the blog these days, I often wonder if early followers of this blog, those that were here when pictures of Dylan littered my posts, wonder where Dylan has gone. I assure you that Dylan is just as loved as he always has been. In fact, his sweet smiles and mischevious ways light up my every day.

However, as anyone with a two year old can attest, cooperative isn’t a word often used to describe toddlers. And as a result of his frequent exposure to my camera Dylan is even less cooperative for pictures than most toddlers. In fact, he has not looking and not smiling when there’s a camera in my hands down to a science. It’s a shame since he’s really such a fun-loving, happy-go-lucky kid when there isn’t a camera in my hands.

But for those that might be curious, here’s what a “session” with Dylan looks like:

Looking, but not smiling…

Smiling (sort of), but not looking…

And of course, the classic not looking or smiling…

Lucky for him he’s cute anyway.

I hope everyone out there had a wonderful holiday!

I’m back from my holiday vacation and getting back into gear. If you had a session before Christmas, please be assured that I’m working hard to wrap up your gallery and send it to you. I’m running a couple days behind schedule but I should be completely caught up in the next couple of days. If you’ve emailed me, I’m working my way through the messages and will be back to you soon. And lastly, if you have an outstanding order, I have boxes due in from the lab today or tomorrow so you should hear from me about it very soon.

Have a happy, happy new year!

from my little stinkers to yours!

Amy Drouet Photography closes at noon today for the holidays. I’ll be back online on Monday, December 29.

We have a lovely morning for Frank and Asha’s maternity portraits. At 35 weeks, Asha looks great and they swear they’re ready for baby Isabella’s entrance. We’ll see… it won’t be much longer now!

I met Parker and his parents on a mild afternoon down in the French Quarter. (I looooove French Quarter sessions!) And Parker made my job so easy. Not many one-year-olds are so cooperative. Or have such beautiful blue eyes and cotton-candy blond hair. But don’t take my word for it… check out the handsome dude below.

We are blessed here in New Orleans to have mild winters and enjoy the outdoors year round. And with all the adorable winter children’s clothing available out there, I’d like to take advantage of it! So, my first promotion of 2009 will be the Winter Wonderful promotion!

Details are below. If you’re interested in booking a session time for the promotion, email me at amydrouet@yahoo.com and be sure to put Winter Wonderful promotion in the subject line.

Just a quick note to let you all know that I’ll be closed starting Tuesday, December 23, through Sunday, December 28, for the holidays. All inquiries sent during that time will be responded to when I return. Happy holidays!!

Last weekend I met up with little miss Lainie and her friends for some photo fun. At 9 months old, not only is Lainie on the go, but she’s also FAST! But before I knew it, my memory card was full and our session was done. C-A & S – I hope you enjoy your peek!

Well who da thunk it? After almost 6 years in New Orleans, I’ve finally seen my first snowfall here!
