Family

April 17, 2011

I had the pleasure of photographing this family last week.  I don’t photograph families that often, but this was  a nice change!

I was so anxious about these pictures because I am NOT photogenic and Eli was soooo sleepy! But you really got some great shots! Thanks Shanna!!!

It’s time of year again!  Ah, spring-.  It’s arrival always brings groups of little girls decked out in their dance finest!   I’m loving the costumes this year!

I’ve been photographing dance pictures for Tammara’s girls now for at least 5 years and I absolutely love seeing these girls grow up.    It’s amazing how the year brings so many changes.   I think I told at least 5 parents yesterday- “That can’t be the same child that came with you last year!”  Time certainly flies.  It also makes me miss the ones who have grown up and moved on- I know Tammara feels that more than anyone.

Here’s to another great year and recital.  You girls are F. A. B. U. L. O. U. S!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

A note for Facebook- last year I uploaded a few onto Facebook as I proofed them.  My inbox was immediately flooded with “where is my daughter?”  I completely understood as well: I would be wanting to know the same thing!   I also don’t think I have approved some of the hundreds of tag requests from last year alone!  I do appreciate that you want those babies to be on Facebook and I want that too!   However, this year, I will not load individual shots on Facebook until I can load them all.  I will go ahead and put group shots on Facebook, so tag away!  Just please don’t crop when you copy and keep my logo in the shot!

Awesome—as usual. Love them all

 

 

Grace said she wanted three things for her senior session: tall grass, old trucks and  railroad tracks.  We managed all three and a few extras!  A barn and an ice cold stream were added to the mix- the stream just may be my favorite!

Today was a terrible day for a session and pretty cold considering last week’s weather.  Tonight’s senior braved the weather and I just had to post this one shot before bed!  Love it!

A little late on these, but late is better than never!  I’ll get the detail shots out of the way and blog some more later!

My blogging is few and far between, I know.  These days I mainly post on facebook and leave it at that.   But, I had to blog my latest engagement session.  Take a look at Allyson and Matt!   Other than being  terrific people, they are both pretty easy on the eyes!   Allyson also manages a bridal boutique in Baton Rouge and I am so excited for her bridal session that I can hardly stand it!  That dress is going to be fabulous.

Yesterday was a gloomy dull day, but we managed to capture some wonderful emotion and when it decided to sneak out,  a gorgeous blue sky.   We started in downtown Marksville, hit a wheat field and levee and ended up on the farm.   I’m loving the mudboots on the city girl!

 

These two are getting married in South Louisiana during the summer, on my anniversary actually!   We met at a place where I normally shoot seniors and I am in love with the colors here!  Believe it or not, we didn’t plan her outfits to match the location- but you can’t argue with how perfect the colors coordinated!

 

There comes a time when most moms are pulling their hair and crying “something’s gotta give!”  For me, this blog is just that.  It was put on the back burner- way back on the back burner!  I needed a break.  So I was going to let it go for the summer, then came fall, then winter and here were are- it’s been almost a year!  I guess it’s time to dust off my keyboard and get back to it.  So in the spirit of  things are just beginning- here’s last week’s sessions:  a new bride and a new sweet baby girl!

Awesome! Love it!

Jessica was easy to convince- after seeing a few bridal shots from Jenna, I was easily able to talk Jessica into making the three hour trip to these ruins!

These are some of the most amazing photos I’ve ever seen.I dabble in a little photography myself. If I had YOUR talent, I’d be doing way more than dabbling! =]
