The Ducote Family

Oh my, hello Friday! Perhaps I’m a little partial, but this is my beautiful godchild, Isla. We’ve been doing sessions of my sweet girl all year now, but this is, by far, my favorite. All of the Fall colors, the dreamy field, the perfection in bold outfits are exactly what I had in mind when Amanda and I discussed the direction for this session. I don’t generally go for bold colors often when helping clients style sessions, but Isla’s bold berry colored outfit from Old Navy, along with her perfectly tiny brown boots were exactly what I envisioned paired with the dreamy field and Amanda’s cream dress selection.

And as it always goes, the heart and soul in the mother-baby shots won the prize for my favorites…

I loved so many shots of Amanda and Isla, but this black and white was, by far, my favorite. Of all of the things I love to photograph, especially my couples in love, ultimately, the raw emotion between mother and child just trumps everything. Amanda is wearing my favorite piece by J’adore Lexie Couture, the flower crown. Oh my, swoon.

Second to mother-baby shots. There’s nothing like a man in love with his baby. Seth is a wonderfully amazing husband and father. It’s so crazy to me that my sweet Isla will be ONE already in January, crazy!!
