Yes RUSTON I am moving back to Ruston as of tomorrow!!! I am extreamly excited about this! I will be finishing up my last year of college. I’m also excited about the change in scenery.  It’s time for a change.  Even though I  have not posted I have been shooting! Thought I would give ya’ll a “mash up” post of things I have been doing.  I have really meet some great people this summer and worked with some great families.  Thanks to all of you who let me be a part of your life this year.

These little boys are precious.  Their little sister is adorable too.

This is one of my favorites of little sister Baby A.  She was so cute.  I just had to shoot her on this table.  I spotted it when I walked in the house.

This is from Baby E’s 9 month session.  We had so much fun at the park.  It has really been fun watching her grow.

This is from Baby J’s 1 yr session.  He is so big now.  Doesn’t seem like the same little baby I shot a year ago.

{Baton Rouge Wedding Photographer}-Kassie and Bryan E-Session Part 2

With the wedding fast approaching I thought I’d post the second part of Kassie and Bryan’s E-Session.   We shot downtown and really had a great time.  They are such a fun couple.  Love the fun shots near the graffiti walls.  They are big hard rock fans, so couldn’t complete the session without those shots.  You can view part 1 of the session here.  Kassie’s bridals are here.

Love these dressy shots.  Kassie looks beautiful.

Love this shot.  They are so “in love”

These were some really fun shots.

I love Chucks!

I Heart Faces – Bundled Up

This week’s photo challenge at I heart faces is Bundled Up.  I took this picture last year for a school project and love it.  It is one of my favorite faces I have taken.  When I saw the topic I didn’t even have to think about it.  I knew this was the photo I wanted to enter.  You can check out some more of the entries at their website.

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.

Drumroll Please!!!! {Baton Rouge Wedding Photographer}

Today is the day of LOVE and I’m sitting  on the couch watching love stories because I don’t have a Valentine.  Maybe next year.  Anyways, I have read some wonderful love stories the last few weeks.  I really appreciate all of you that entered.  I gave them all to nice friend of mine who was so kind to chose a Winner for me.  I numbered each story so that he would not know who wrote them and he said that there were some great stories, but one really stood out to him.  Here is their story below.  Congrats to Shelly Varnado.  I will be contacting you to set up your session.  Everyone please keep an eye out for our next give away soon.

My husband and I met in 1987 and became friends, actually best friends.  We met through a mutual friend, whom he was actually dating at the time.  He dated a lot of my friends.  I loved him as a best friend at first but not as a boyfriend…. little did i know that he was dating my friends so that he could always be with me.  We laughed together, cried together and even went places together.  I did not think that I would fall so in love with him.  Watching him date my friends had actually started killing me inside, but i never said anything to him.  One day as we were all out,  Jan 1989, and he took me aside and said ” I want you to be my girlfriend, not anyone else.  I love you and have loved you since the day we met.  If you turn me down now I will never bring it up again or ask you again, its now or never. “  Wow I thought to myself, I could not believe this was happening, I went completely weak in the knees, kissed him, and said yes.   Really to be honest with myself, deep down he was the one I wanted to be with.  I just was so afraid that if we dated it would ruin our friendship.  Well, on that day,  Jan 1989 2 years after we had met we started dating.  We married on August 26, 1989 and it has been a wonderful journey. We have 3 daughters, and we are more in love now than we were so many years ago.  Love is a wonderful gift from God that is not easily broken, if he remains the center of every marriage.

Thx for taking time to read our story,
Shelly

Congrats again Shelly
