Rex came back for his 1-year photos, and with a Mardi Gras birthday and a Mardi Gras parade name…we knew this session had to be as fun as Fat Tuesday! The greenhouse at the KVR Photography studio made the perfect backdrop for a late winter morning. It had that soft light and fresh feel that worked so well with the playful Mardi Gras-inspired theme. As a New Orleans photographer, sessions like this are always such a fun reminder that milestone photos don’t have to be simple! Instead, they can reflect your family’s personality and story.






One of my favorite surprises during a 1-year session is when parents share there’s another baby on the way, and this time was no exception. Rex is officially getting promoted to big brother! We snuck in a few maternity photos during the session to celebrate baby number two, and those moments made the session feel even more special.








After finishing up family photos, we headed inside the studio for a few more portraits…and of course, a celebratory cupcake. Rex’s sweet little smirk completely melted my heart. He had the best personality, and you could just tell he was soaking it all in.






As a New Orleans photographer, getting to capture these moments from first birthdays to growing families is something I never take for granted. I already know Rex is going to be the sweetest big brother, and I cannot wait to see this family again for their upcoming newborn session. If you’re looking for a New Orleans photographer to capture your baby’s milestones or growing family, I would love to work with you. Reach out to learn more about session options and availability!
