    The Best Things In Life Are Free (well sometimes): Louisiana Family Portraits

    September 1st, 2010 | Baton rouge Children's Photographer, Louisiana Children's Photographer, Louisiana Family Portrait Photographer, Studio

    Here are a few of my favorites from this weekend’s free sessions! These are some sneak peeks for the moms until I get the galleries posted. I don’t always post alot of day to day stuff on the blog. This is a good example of the bread and butter of Amy Martin Photography. Not every session is in a remote location with furniture and crazy props, although I LOVE that, we still need a something somewhat tradtional to give to grandmas for Christmas.

    These little cuties were the first session of the day. They braved the rain clouds and the wet grass.

    What do you do when 2 out of three kiddos are crying? Turn them around for a looking away shot. Don’t worry mom, we got some great individuals! I love the photo on the right. Sometimes it is really hard to get a sibling that is a little older to hold the baby in a perfect way, but he nailed it!

    You may remember this little girl from what might be the most popular maternity picture on my blog. Check it out here!

    This girl is an old friend of mine. She admitted to me that this was their first professional family photograph besides portrait innovations, she also admitted that she didn’t tell her husband about the session until the night before because she thought he wouldn’t wanna do pictures. I am proud to say that we finished their session in about 20 minutes or less. I am pretty sure dad enjoyed himself, or at least didn’t feel tortured :)

    Here are mom and dad having a little fun

    Do these kids look like models or what?? I have to commend the mom on the awesome outfits. People if you are about to schedule an appointment,  Crew Cuts is your friend.

    Okay the mom is probably going to kill me but it is too funny not to show.

    In the first picture she is flipping me off, and in the second picture she is praising God for helping her change her ways.

    I heart little boys with long hair

    These two little girls did Awesome considering it rained a slow light mist most of thier session.

    This picture cracks me up, looks like big sister is getting an earful.

    I love this family. Looks like this dad better get some guns handy for the boys at the door. His daughters are GORGEOUS!

    The Hyfields: { Baton Rouge, LA Family Photographer }

    August 11th, 2010 | Family Portraits

    I first met this family a year ago when they came in for Family Portraits. Check out last year’s session here. This year we went for something a little more urban. The first day we met Violetta wasn’t feeling well so we snapped a few and opted to do a re-shoot when she was better. We met on the 2nd day and Mr Luca decided he didn’t like looking at me or smiling that day. Despite both of those things we got some great stuff both days.

    This family is so original and I LOVE that! Mom always has such great ideas yet still trusts my creativity for the session. The combination of those two things results in images like this. And besides all of that she is a MAJOR confidence booster. She always has the most encouraging things to say. I think I will call her anytime I am feeling a little down.

    It is refreshing to see parents who love one another and are so sweet to each other, even when their photo shoots don’t go as planned.

    These are from the second session.

    I LOVE this series of family pictures!

    Here comes the fun. Violetta had the time of her life in this fountain! She cried when we left.

    Sweet Scarlett {Mississippi Children’s Portraits}

    August 8th, 2010 | Children

    I travelled all the way to Mississippi to this little sweetie’s grandmother’s house for her one year old portraits. Here are just a few from her session.


    Sweet Vivienne Turns One: Baton Rouge, La Children’s photographer

    July 27th, 2010 | Children, Toddlers

    I first photographed this little doll before she was even sitting up. She is all grown up now! Her session was a DREAM! It lasted a whole 37 minutes, we went to 2 locations and she smiled the entire time! She has set the bar high for the next set of one year olds!

    Here she is showing off those teeth

    She was praising the Lord in this photo as her mom was singing a bible song. Very appropriate since her dad is a member of the awesome Deluge Band.

    LOVE these two!

    Vegas Bride: Las Vegas Wedding Photographer

    July 23rd, 2010 | Destination Wedding, Wedding

    Here is a sneak peak from a couple I had the pleasure of photographing in Las Vegas. I wasn’t allowed to photograph during the ceremony since the resort has a contract with another photographer but after the wedding we were able to get some fun shots!  Here is one of my favorites.

    Mary is stunning! A guy even hit on her as we walked down the street while she was with her new husband and in a wedding gown!
