New Products

I am so excited.  I have been trying to build my sample product line.  I got my 3×3 accordion books in today and love them.  I will be giving my 2011 Senior Reps one like it.  I have templates for both male and female models and can also purchase some in wallet size.  These are really nice.  The cover is sturdy and the photos are printed with a matte finish for the cover, but on glossy paper for images in the book.  I can’t wait to order more.

I also got my canvas prints in.  They are absolutely gorgeous.  I love them.  Will be posting them at a later time.

Senior Class 2010 {Baton Rouge Senior Portrait Photography}

Adrienne is another one of my Senior Reps for 2010.  She was so much fun to shoot.  She brought her sister and we all had a great time.  She is so cute and did such a great job.  She had some great outfits and we had fun trying several of them.  Thanks Adrienne for letting me part of this time in your life.

I really love this dress.  It looked so cute on her.  Great choice Adrienne.

For some strange reason I love this wall and try to shoot against when I am in the area.  White background is always great.  Such a nice smile.

Have to always get the letteman jacket shot.

I love the Old State Capitol.  Just shot some bridals there.  Hope to post them soon.

This is one of my favorites

Class 2010 {Baton Rouge Senior Portrait Photographer}

Really had a great time shooting Sara.  She was one of my Senior Reps for 2010.  She loved to laugh and had some really neat outfits.  I loved her purple leopard shoes.  Definitely had to feature them in this post.  They own a Harley and wanted some images of her with it.  We went down to the levee and got some great shots.  Thanks Sara for a great afternoon  and allowing me to help you celebrate this time in your life.

Would not be Senior Portraits without some images of her in her letterman jacket.  She must be a great athlete.  Good job Sara.

Just a little sneak peek of the shoes.  Check out the close up below.

I’m such a sucker for shoes.  I can hardly bring myself to walk away from a great pair and these are definitely great!  Love them Sara.

She had this wonderful jacket.  Really liked this photo.  She looks so cute and has a great smile.

I love prom dresses.  Always adds that special little touch to the session.  Sara’s dress was fun and flowing.  Really fit her personality and she looked great in it.

Just thought we would take a fun little cap and gown shot.  Don’t really do many of them.

Cool blouse.

These are just a few of the great bike shots.  She really had fun shooting these.  These shoes are great too.

Jamie and Shawn Married

I feel so blessed to have been able to share in Jamie and Shawn’s wedding.  They are both such great people and I had so much fun getting to know them.  I took my first trip to the beach when we went to Orange Beach to shoot their engagement photographs.  We had a wonderful time and their images were beautiful.  You can view the engagement post here.  The wedding was a blast and I feel priviledged that I got to shoot a Methodist/Jewish ceremony so early in my career.  Both ceremonies were beautiful.  Congrats to both of you and thank you for letting me be part of your special day.

Anticipation

Just a little pre-wedding fun.  The wedding party was so much fun to photograph.  The guys were so funny and made me laugh so much.  They were game to try anything.

The flower girl was so cute.  We were able to sneak off and get of few of her and the bride alone.

Jamie looked beautiful in her dress.  I loved it the first time I saw it when we took her bridals.  The church had this lovely stained glass window and I just had to use it in her images.

Waiting for the bride.  She looks so beautiful.

Man and Wife.  The kiss is always so romantic.

Mr. and Mrs. Shawn Folks

Shawn is so sweet.  I love the way he is singing to her.  So Romantic!!!

The Jewish Ceremony

Bride and Daddy were a hit.  They shared a wonderful father daughter dance then busted out jammin.  It was great!

Details.  Everything was so beautiful.

The Band – Colorblind

Everyone had such a great time.

Getting ready to leave.

Boudreaux’s did a great job on the reception

L. Family {Baton Rouge Lifestyle and Children Photographer}

I’m so far behind on blogging.  I had a session with  the L. family before Christmas.  We had so much fun.  I have been knowing S., the little girl, since she was born.  I used to baby sit her when she was little.  It was wonderful seeing them all again.  She has grown into such a pretty little girl.  I got to meet baby brother for the first time the day of the session and he is absolutely precious.  S. likes to dance and play the piano.  I was able to have time alone with her and get some images of her doing both.  We took some images in front of the Christmas Tree for their Christmas Card and I thought I’d include them too.  Thanks F and M for allowing me to come into your home and spend a wonderful morning with your family.

This was my favorite shot of all of them together.  They were so natural and comfortable in front of the camera.

I love it when baby’s laugh.  Isn’t he adorable

Love this one watching big sister reading to little brother.

This is also one of my favorites.  Just having family fun!

I just love his expression

Sharing SECRETS with Mommy!  It was such a great unexpected capture.

He is so precious.  I was getting ready to shoot my standard feet shot and his little head popped up and I loved it.
