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!

Shreveport, Louisiana Maternity Photographer // Rhonda's Maternity Session
Covid-19 has changed many of the ways we live our life. I'd love to hear from you how it has directly affected your pregnancy. Do you feel like you've missed out on anything? How are you feeling emotionally? Etc.
I do feel like it has impacted my pregnancy. Not being able to get together with family and friends. Not being able to have my husband at the doctor appointments and not being able to have my other children at the hospital when we bring our daughter into the world. It saddens me really. I feel like I have missed out on a lot of moments that I was able to capture in my previous pregnancies. Breaks my heart really. Moments that I will never experience again as this is my last child. Having Leslie do my maternity shoot definitely took some sting away. Helped me feel more normal outside of the Covid-19.
What were you nervous about going into your session?
I don't recall being nervous. I was excited to be able to have the opportunity to have the pictures done during this covid-19 pandemic.
What was your favorite part of your session experience?
The way I felt so comfortable. Just talking and feeling like I wasn't just a stranger I’d just met.
How do you feel now that you have completed your session and received your images?
I feel even more beautiful than I did before.
Would you recommend Leslie to other ladies looking to book a maternity session? Why?
Absolutely! Leslie is very laid-back and gentle. Most photographers seem demanding but she was soft spoken and just overall gentle.
So many parts of life have been impacted, and I know that my way of thinking has changed a lot. A certain level of fear is healthy, enough to keep you safe. Sometimes you need to leave the fear in the background and enjoy your season of life. I’m happy to have been able to give Rhonda a sense of normalcy as she gets ready to welcome Presley into her sweet family. I can’t wait to get to capture this beautiful baby girl as she grows.

Jacie is "berry sweet" // Shreveport First Birthday Photographer // Leslie Whitaker Photography
Why did you choose Leslie to capture your child's first birthday portraits?
After looking at her work, I loved the white background! It focused more on my child, Jacie, than an actual themed background.
Were you nervous about anything going into your child's session? Please explain.
I was nervous because my child always seems to be sleepy or cranky when it’s time for pictures.
What was your favorite part of the session experience?
My favorite part had to be trying to get her to eat the cake and strawberries. Although, she gave us a hard time (inserts eye roll). Leslie was very patient and you could tell she had experience dealing with children my daughter’s age.
How do you feel now that you have completed your session and received your images?
I feel great! I just knew none of her pictures were going to be good. She got some great shots of Jacie.
Would you recommend Leslie to other parents looking to book a first birthday session for their child? Why?
Yes! Highly recommend. She definitely has experience with dealing with children and her patience is just unheard of! She’s very professional and answers in a timely manner, always!
