PRUDHOMME FAMILY / BIRTH + FAMILY PORTRAITS / BATON ROUGE, LA

I HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF KNOWING THE PRUDHOMME FAMILY FOR YEARS SO I WAS OVERJOYED WHEN THEY ASKED ME TO SHOOT THEIR NEWEST ADDITION'S BIRTH.

THE ANTICIPATION GREW AS I AWAITED THE CALL THAT SHE HAD GONE INTO LABOR. MEETING THEM AT THE HOSPITAL WAS SUCH A RUSH, KNOWING THERE WOULD BE DISCOMFORT AND PAIN, BUT THEN THERE WOULD ALSO BE A GREAT BREAKTHROUGH AND THE BIRTH OF THEIR SON. AFTER A LONG AND ARDUOUS LABOR, HENDRIX BRAVE ENTERED THE WORLD. 

LATER THAT DAY, THERE WAS PALPABLE JOY IN THE AIR AS THEY INTRODUCED THEIR OLDEST SON TO HIS NEW BABY BROTHER. CAPTURING A LITTLE TIME CAPSULE OF THOSE SWEET MOMENTS DURING THEIR FIRST FEW DAYS AS A FAMILY OF FOUR IS A TREASURE I'LL NOT SOON FORGET.
