Capturing the first few weeks of your child’s life may be one of the most special things you can do as a family. At Eye Wander Photo, we love to share in these precious moments between new parents and their newborn babies. This past week, I had the honor to photograph my extended family and their newest addition, Mattox. Photographing newborns during their first two weeks is incredibly fun as their tendency to sleep allows me plenty of time and opportunity to position and dress them in a variety of ways. Mattox was unique with his alert and wide eyes which made for some great shots. If you are interested in newborn photography or my Baby 365 package, please click here for more information.

Lacey and Dustin were married this April on a beautiful, spring day in southern Louisiana. They chose to do a first look, and the images are priceless. Having done the first look allowed Lacey and Dustin to spend their reception enjoying their friends and family with the lively music provided by the DJ Larry Dewitt. The bridal party was incredibly fun showcasing their personalities during the bus ride from the ceremony to the reception. And from the accessories on her cake to the details on her dress and rhinestones on her shoes, Lacey coordinated each accent beautifully. During the reception, we ran into recent and past couples who we have had the pleasure of shooting their weddings. It was so good to see how many of them are beginning new chapters in their lives by starting their families. Looking forward to shooting future Henson family photos!

Ceremony: St Alphonsus Catholic Church
Reception: Forrest Grove Plantation
DJ: Larry Dewitt
Cake: Jessica Schafer
Flowers: Trey Marino’s Central Florist by Louise

We love you so much Shawn and are looking forward to your wedding August 2013 in L.A.

I had the privilege of photographing Kelli after she had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Over the course of her treatment, we were able to complete several shoots highlighting the different aspects of her incredible personality. Kelli was the most lively, vivacious, energetic, go get ‘em type of girl. She was involved in the arts, community benefit organizations, and a lover of yoga. To read more about her, please visit today’s article by The Advocate, Kelli’s Legacy.

Taylor Jacobs from Denham Springs High School is a junior currently, but we did her Downtown Baton Rouge senior photography session early. She’s an Eye Wander Photo senior model representing my studio at her school. The urban session incorporated art from the Baton Rouge Walls project that is co-curated by Casey Phillips & Kathryn Thorpe.

Shortly after marrying my beautiful wife Jency Griffin Hogan, I shifted my focus towards acting headshots in Baton Rouge & New Orleans. Using only natural light and a reflector, I work fast and offer 3 unique “looks” during a one hour session in either downtown Baton Rouge or downtown New Orleans or the Warehouse District of New Orleans or French Quarter.

Take a look at these pictures of the lovely Kaitlynn Spikes, a soon-to-be graduate of Parkview Baptist High School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Most of these photos were taken at Nottoway Plantation in White Castle, Louisiana. The others were taken in Port Allen. We had a blast!
