Too Cool

You know the age.....oh about 8 years old to....well I am not sure when it stops. The age when your kids are far too cool to be taking pictures! especially on LSU game day. This first picture depicts real life.... which I love, this is them goofing off walking to where we were going to take some pictures. The epitome of a brother and sister that secretly like each other more than they are willing to admit to the photographer who is forcing them to sit more that 6inches close to one another.

No really they were great. Pretty good sports for a Saturday morning that early. 

Beautiful Family; Louisiana Portrait Photographer

Look how gorgeous this family is! They were so sweet and well behaved.

this little guy was a little camera shy. But look how CUTE his I'm not going to smile face is!

Love this picture!!!

I love this picture... did I just say that? oh well I like them all :)

Busy Body: Louisiana Children's Photographer

If I called Mister S a busy body, it would be an understatement. He certainly gave me a run for my money! He was much easier last Christmas when he could only lay down :) Even so he is still such a cutie! His parents absolutely adore him!!! I think he may be one of the most loved kids in town. The first picture is a tradition they are doing for the Christmas Card.

Engagements : Louisiana Wedding Photographer

I'm so excited about this couple's upcoming wedding. It is going to be in Colorado which means road trip! well technically air trip. My husband and I will travel there for the wedding and get to spend a few days skiing kid free! 

They were so cute. I posted the first picture to prove it, which I may have to apologize to her for posting. I made them walk over to a tree to take some pictures and when we got to the tree there were cow patties EVERYWHERE and once we finally got a clear spot she got attacked by ants. Here he is brushing them off of her for the 10th time. I thought it was so cute. He's already taking care of her. I think she was thinking...stop it.... I can handle a couple ants.

In Love: Engagement Portraits

I am so in love with this picture!

More to come soon as soon as I can figure out how to get all my photoshop actions transfered to my new computer without locating the cd, or where I stored the info on the external harddrive. technology+unorganized person=frustration

But if I had to trade my creativeness for organization....well I wouldn't :)

Ahhh the Senior Year: Baton Rouge Senior Photographer

Seems like only yesterday I was taking my Senior pictures. But the three kids and the mortgage payment remind me quickly that it was quite some time ago. 

This little lady is such a sweetheart.

Absolutely gorgeous!

I'll admit we did trespass to get this picture :)

Guest: Louisiana Wedding Photographer

I had the pleasure of attending a friends wedding as a guest at the Beautiful Monmouth Plantation. I wasn't the photographer but I snapped a couple shots from the cheap seats.

~Enjoy!

This silly little girl is one of my daughters best friends. This picture is the epitome of her personality, although I will admit the double feathers were my idea.

For Him

People in the past have asked me if I do..dare I say boudoir  photography. I have given it alot of thought and decided to do it. I know it is a little taboo, people will have opinions about it and I was even a little reluctant to post a blog about it. However, after talking to many clients I have realized that there is alot of interest. Please forget the stereotype. If you are interested send me an email and I will give you more information. These sessions are only available to married women or to upcoming brides. 

This is what to get the man who has everything. Trust me your husband wants this for Christmas :)

How Cute!!! : Louisiana Children's Photographer

Look how adorable these two are! She was full of personality, and he was just precious. 

Take a look at those blue eyes.

Being photographed by someone else

Monday I let my children skip school and I drug (as in dragging not narcotics) them to New Orleans to a photography workshop to be models. Side note here, missing school in Zachary is very frowned upon since attendance is one of the factors in your schools ranking. So I will say to all of you if we move to the #2 spot you can blame me :) and my bad parenting. In my defense Payton was giving the girls a lesson in adjectives and verbs. So I decided to call it our field trip. 

Anyway. I shamelessly have copied this picture from Tamara Lackey's blog. She is an awesome photographer and I can't wait to see the rest. Here is a peek.
