I will be out of the “office” starting tomorrow through this weekend. If you need to reach me with questions or orders, feel free to send them to my email. I will respond to everyone when I’m back in the office on Monday. Thanks and have a wonderful week!

All right, I’m jamming on my sneak peeks tonight because I’m going to be out of the “office” for a few days later this week and I don’t want to leave all my moms and dads hanging. So with that in mind, on to my most recent session! We had a mild but overcast day for Ian’s 1-year session (lots of 1 year olds lately!). Ian wasn’t too sure about the “strange photographer lady,” but he did give us a few handsome smiles – and even a few giggles!

I’ve photographed Graham at 6 months, 9 months, and now – 1 year! Happy (belated) birthday little boy. He’s grown up so much and now he’s going to be a big brother. Exciting times ahead!

I recently met up with Josh and Lucy and their mom for pictures in the park. We were celebrating Lucy’s one year birthday and Josh’s three year birthday. Wow, how time flies! And we’ll soon be welcoming their little brother and sister as well!

I met the S family early on a Saturday morning at a local state park. They were brave souls to choose a beach session in January! But despite the chill and the fact that we had eight people to photograph – the youngest at a little over one year old – the session moved along quickly and smoothly.

Isn’t he soooo cool?

I had the pleasure of spending Friday morning with 7 day old, Miss Kate, her happy parents and her uber-cute big brother. Kate was such a sweet, content baby. She barely made a peep the entire session. However, that doesn’t mean that she didn’t have a mind of her own. In fact, Kate was very sure that she did not want to be posed by me. At all. But after some intense negotiations, Kate and I finally came to an agreement…

My very talented friend and fellow NOLA-ite Mary, of Paper + Ink Studio, is doing a Valentine’s Day photo card giveaway on her blog. If you haven’t seen Mary’s designs you must go check them out. They’re gorgeous. Seriously. Gorgeous. So go enter and tell all your friends too.

(Okay, now I’m off to go enter myself cuz I love beautiful cards and stationery!)

I’d like to make a couple of quick announcements…

First, I only have one weekend slot remaining for January and two weekend slots remaining for February. The available days and times are:

Sunday, January 25, 3 p.m.
Saturday, February 14, 9 a.m.
Sunday, February 15, 3 p.m.

If you are interested in one of these slots please email me at amydrouet@yahoo.com as soon as possible.

Second, I am now booking weekday sessions for January, February and beyond. These sessions are ideal for stay at home moms with small children – or anyone with alot of vacation time. Sessions can take place any weekday, pending my availability, and will typically take place in the morning.

If you are interested in booking a weekday session, or a weekend session in March, April or beyond, please contact me. I’d love to hear from you!

It was an all-boy weekend! We had gorgeous weather for Cooper’s session in City Park. We did lots of exploring and got some great captures. Y- I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
