PhotoBella photographyNewborn & Baby Photographer in Baton Rouge, LA

I love how this sessions turned out!  It’s one of my recent faves.  Vivan was such a doll and slept perfectly for the entire session.

Would you love images like these of your tiny, sweet newborn baby?  Read more about PhotoBella Photography Newborn Sessions here.

It’s official, I love the 6 month age! This is my favorite age (second only to newborn) to shoot. They are so fun and so full of personality :) I had a blast with Braylon and I cannot believe how big he is getting (or how long his hair is growing!) Isn’t he a hunk?!

My absolute favorite place to get Bella’s haircut is Pigtails and Crewcuts in Baton Rouge.  It is a salon that specializes in young children, and they make the hair cutting experience a delight :)  The “chairs” that children sit in are little cars, trucks, airplanes that entice little ones to actually WANT to get their haircut.  Bella thinks it’s a ride :)  There are also TVs playing children’s movies easily viewable from the “chairs.”

And the best part according to Bella?  After the haircut is over, each child gets to pick out a sucker or animal crackers AND gets a treat from the treasure box.  It’s so fun, Bella wants to get her haircut every week!

They are open M-F 9:30am to 6pm and Sat 10am-5pm.  I’ll give you a little hint though:  Saturdays are often crowded, so my favorite time to bring Bella is during the week after work, there is usually no wait at all.  Although, even if you do have to wait on a Saturday they have a fun train table and an entire play room for kids to keep happy while waiting.

Another thing I love about Pigtails and Crewcuts is that they have a special package for your child’s first hair cut.  It includes the haircut, a picture, and a lock of hair in a keepsake.   Such a cute way to make that first hair cut extra-special.

We’ve been getting Bella’s hair cut here since her very first one when she was about 1 year old.  I must admit, that one time she needed a hair cut BADLY but I wanted it on a Sunday. So, we tried another salon that was supposed to be geared toward kids, and it was a major fail!  No fun car chairs, the stylist weren’t very nice nor patient, and a long wait with nothing to pass the time.  I told myself, never again!  The difference I found was that Pigtails and Crewcuts doesn’t just claim to be about kids with cute decor, they are about kids in every way…from the waiting experience, to the patient and kid-friendly stylist, to the treat at the end.

The car seats to sit in:

Bella never let’s me out of this place without getting a new bow!

The wonderful treasure chest…what to pick, what to pick…

Showing off her new cut and “brave” (her toddler word for braid).

Watching the TV & driving at the same time :)

Even the capes are fun.

Getting the bangs perfect.

Today she picked the taxi cab, but they also have a fire truck, airplane, and a normal chair for bigger kids (or parents).

So now that you know Bella’s favorite place for hair cuts, what is yours?  Do you have a place your child loves?  Do you love Pigtails & Crewcuts too?  Please share below in the comments :)
