Elainna is my first baby in my transition to baby lead newborn sessions. I call them, ‘Simply Baby by Leslie’. I find a particular beauty in stepping back from the distraction of a multitude of color and props in newborn photos. To me, at the end of it all you want to remember every single wrinkle, that funny face they made when they were mad, or even something as simple as the way they stretch. You won’t remember it if you don’t have photos of it, and those photos should be beautiful.
Most of us take a bajillion photos on our phones, but how many of us print those photos out? Not many, and if you do - rock on you bada** Mama. Maybe you do that, and you want some bomb professional newborn photos of your baby too. That’s where I come in. I really take care of it all.
If parents want to be in the photos, I offer a complimentary hair and makeup session for Mama! Because, let’s be honest… you are tired. So, I’ll take that part off your plate. :) Siblings, they’re welcome too. We’ll even do their photos first, so that they can go with Grandma to get some ice-cream and meet you at home later.
Now, read on about how Jordan felt before, during and after Elianna’s session…. and then book your sweet baby’s session next.

What made you choose Leslie for your recent newborn session?
I had first looked into her for maternity photos when I was pregnant, as I had seen her work from mutual friends on Facebook. Unfortunately, I saw on her page that she was on maternity leave during the time frame I’d need to capture my belly. So when it came time for newborn pictures of my sweet baby, I knew exactly where to start!
What were you nervous about going into your newborn session?
I was so worried that my little stinker would be uncooperative, as she was a bit colicky at the time (turns out it was a pretty serious stomach condition causing the fuss). I’m also a first time, self-proclaimed ‘helicopter mom’ and was anxious about a virtual stranger handling my baby.
What was your favorite part of your newborn session experience?
Leslie was so professional and warm at the same time! She knew exactly what to do to keep my baby calm and cooperative- even when she got fussy, and peed on one of the outfit wraps! It was so nice to be able to just relax and gush about how cute my baby looked.
How do you feel now that you have completed your session and received your images?
I am 100% confident in my choice of photographer. The images were absolutely beautiful and everyone loves them!
Would you recommend Leslie to other families looking for a newborn photographer in Louisiana? Why?
Yes! The expertise and flexibility she brings is absolutely essential in a newborn photographer, and her work is incredible. Everyone looking to document their baby’s precious moments with total peace of mind should look to Leslie!
