Shreveport Newborn Photographer - Louisiana Newborn Photographer

This sweet baby girl. Her Mama is obsessed with boho, but with a Texas twist. Boho is totally my style. My studio has been that way for 5+ years, and I’m so glad that Alyissa found me for her maternity and newborn sessions. We actually did Mama’s maternity session outside by the bayou and she wore some of my gowns. In one of them she added a pair of her boots and some western jewelry and it was absolutely precious!

When it came to their studio newborn session Alyissa KNEW exactly what she wanted and GIRLFRIEND I was already equipped to deliver with ALL the boho. Lace, got it. All the earthy vibes, got em. Plants, got those coming out of my ears. Textures, they are everywhere. I think you get the idea, we’ve got the boho covered.

Now, don’t worry. If you aren’t into boho, I can meet you where you are. We can do simple family portraits on a solid background or we can even use my glam room ( it has a black bed, grey couch, fancy stuff) for a more high end look. Whatever you want Mama, I GOT YOU. Want fresh and bright and airy? I can do that too! Whatever look you want, I’ve got it in my 2000 square foot studio.

Louisiana Newborn Photographer

Alyissa brought in this chunky sweater, and I need it in EVERY SINGLE COLOR. She took Ruby’s announcement photo in it, in the hospital, and really wanted me to incorporate it into her newborn portraits. I knew EXACTLY what to do. I utterly obsessed with this image. I really need to print it for my office, and I really need to order a few of these sweaters for my newborn closet too!

As always I took care of mom’s hair and makeup. My on staff artist, Hailey, was on hand the day of Ruby’s session to pamper Mama. Alyissa ended up wearing a dress of her own because she already lives the boho lifestyle, but if she didn’t have anything to wear she couldn’t have raided my client closet. It’s full of gorgeous items for any style. :)

Ela's Newborn Session by Leslie Whitaker, Shreveport Newborn Photographer

Ela is such a sweet blessing. Her parents, Lauren and Eli, are SMITTEN with her. Eli has the biggest smile when he looks at her, and when he looks at Lauren too.

I get so many parents who are having their second baby who regret not getting newborn images for their first baby, and they are determined to have the works the second time. We do maternity photos and newborn and sometimes even an extra family session, or in home fresh 48 session too! Don’t regret missing out on documenting these milestones. You can’t go back and do them, so make sure to get them done right the first time.

Don’t you just LOVE her hair?! I seem to have had a ton of sweet newborns in for newborn sessions lately with hair, and I am here for it!

All of my babies arrive pre-dressed in a white cotton onesie. Every single baby is documented in this timeless way, and parents always choose at least one of these images, but most of the time three of four. There is something about the focus being directly on baby that every one loves, especially me! Doesn’t Ela look so perfect, just like this?

I love documenting details! Ela’s profile, her sweet little hand and her toes! So precious, and things that deserve to be captured during every newborn session in my studio.

Parent images are so special too! I don’t think I’ve had any parents skip this part in a LONNNNNNG time. My newborn sessions come with COMPLIMENTARY professional hair and makeup services, so why skip it? Hailey did Lauren’s hair and makeup for her session and she looks so dang pretty, don’t you think? She has a snow white vibe! :)

I’d love to talk with you if you’re looking for a newborn photographer in Shreveport, Louisiana. My studio is stocked with everything needed to execute your dream newborn session! Fill out my contact form and let’s start planning!

-XOXO, Leslie

Daniel's ‘Super Man' First Birthday Cake Smash | Shreveport Portrait Photographer | Leslie Whitaker Photography

Daniel, aka Dani, might be the REAL Superman. He was born early, and on his due date had surgery on his little heart. Before his smash we did some photos to celebrate his journey too. Mama called it his ‘heartiversary'. Yoana has been coming to me since her oldest was brand new.

I hand made Daniel’s city backdrop and built his balloon swag too. :) I am so stinking obsessed with this one. It came out perfectly and the colors POP off of the white background. This cake smash is adorable all the way around.

Why did you choose Leslie to capture your child's first birthday portraits?

I’ve used her since I was pregnant with my first child and LOVE her work.

Were you nervous about anything going into your child's session? Please explain.

I was nervous that he wouldn’t cooperate. Which he didn’t the first day but Leslie was very understanding and she was even able to accommodate us and squeeze us in the next day for a session that he did better in.

What was your favorite part of the session experience?

The setup was perfect! I loved everything about it!

How do you feel now that you have completed your session and received your images?

100% satisfied with the moments she was able to capture!

Would you recommend Leslie to other parents looking to book a first birthday session for their child? Why?

Yessss because she’s so easy to get along with and her pictures are amazing. She makes the backgrounds herself and is so creative! I loved how it turned out!

Berry - Summer Family Sesh - Leslie Whitaker Photography

Sometimes summer seams even busier than the school year.  Slow down and savor those babies, they do not keep.  Spend a little time with me on a summer evening and have keepsakes of your family, soon this summer will only be a memory.

The Berry's have been a part of LWP for almost a year now.  Katie contacted me when she was pregnant with number three and I love taking photos of the Berrys.  BJ is a good sport and sometimes that is hard to find!  Check out my favorites from their summer family session in North Bossier!
