Samson!

This is Samson! I had a blast following him around yesterday- he has so much personality! :)

He had to bring his favorite sock on our walk!

Yoda ears :)

He's a natural model- he's even aware of his good side!

Kellie and Brad's Maternity Session!

I always think pregnancy is beautiful, but Kellie makes it look gorgeous, doesn't she?! :) Thanks so much, Kellie and Brad for letting me into your beautiful home and allowing me to capture this amazing time in your life. And now, the photos...

Love these. Their first baby stands proud in front of her family!

Sooo pretty.

The one on the left might be my favorite. It turned out exactly as I wanted. I would have loved a photo like this of my mother, and I hope some day your little girl cherishes it.

Lamb kisses!

LOVE.

Portrait Party Preview!

I held my first ever Nicole Ladonne Photography Portrait Party this weekend! It was quite a success- thanks so much to everyone who came out for it!

Here's a preview for you all!

First up, Miss Beatrice and family!

What kid doesn't like to play monkey with mom and dad! :)

Can't believe how grown up Bea is getting!

Next up, Katie and Patrick!

I love this one! So cute and cuddly!

Katie- beautiful girl, and a wonderful friend of mine!

Such a great model, isn't she?! :)

Love it!

You may remember these next two! I photographed Melinda and Jason's wedding last year!

Proud of her baby bump! She's still so tiny! :)

And now, the Radloff family! Laura and Phil, on the left, are new wedding clients of mine! I'll actually be shooting their engagement session tomorrow!

Who's in charge here? ;)

And last, but certainly not least, Stephanie, Coen, Ashley and Catherine!

Stephanie and Coen are very special clients of mine. Not only did I shoot Stephanie, and her husband Chad's wedding, but I did little Coen's photos in the hospital the day after he was born!

What a handsome little guy!!!

Much love and gratitude to all of my clients, and to my friend Allison, and my Momma for helping out while I was shooting on Saturday! Can't wait to do this again in the Spring! :)

Marisa's Senior Session!

Oh my goodness Marisa made my job easy! :) She's such a beautiful, sweet girl, and I think we might have spent more time talking and laughing during her session than actually working!

As soon as we got outside, the model in her came out!

I looooove this one.

This wall makes such a perfect backdrop!

Weeping willows make me happy. And check out those eyes!

Marisa's boyfriend, Noah, joined us for a bit!

I LOVE this one! So fun, and such a pretty girl!

Katherine and David's Operation Love Session!

Katherine contacted me through Operation Love Reunited. Her husband, David is being deployed to Iraq next Saturday. We did our session at the park they like to walk their two dogs- Chip and Chuck!
Katherine and David, I hope you two enjoy your preview!

And David- thank you.

We ended up with such a beautiful fall day! And look at those well behaved dogs!

I love this one :)

I think the one on the right is my favorite! Love the windmill, and love little Chip's expression!
