{Baton Rouge Photographer} Sneak Peek

Today I went down to Rosedown Plantation and did a session.  I have shot there before but today I spent time exploring new areas I had never seen before.   I was able to find some really great places to shoot.  There was so much more I really wanted to do but the rain put a damper on it all.  I looked over them when I got home, like I always do, and decided to edit a few for the blog.  These are just a few of my favorites.  More to come and I’ll let you know who everyone is and about some great vendors who helped make the shoot possible.

Love this one of Amber

{Baton Rouge Wedding Photographer} Tricia and Peter Engaged

I’m so far behind in blogging.  The spring semester really kept me busy.  Since the wedding is Friday I figured I needed to get these images up.  Peter and Tricia are living in New Orleans and chose to do their engagements there.  I’m always up for a road trip and was so excited.  There was some kind of festival going on there the weekend we shot so it was really crowded.   We were very limited to where we could shoot.  We shot some near their little duplex, which is absolutely precious, City Park, and Piazza d’Italia.

This wedding is really special to me because Tricia is my cousin.  I wish them both the best and thank you both for letting me document this special time in your lives.

This is really one of my favorites.  My Aunt Mona chose an 8X10 of this one for the registration table.

This was taken in front of their new little duplex.  I love it.   It really has this old New Orleans french style to it.  High ceilings, wood floors, fire places(now closed off).  Flowers in the front yard.  Ya’ll did good.

I will be posting Tricia’s bridals Friday or Saturday.  They really came out beautiful.  We took them at Rosedown and The Glynns in St. Francisville.  Can’t wait for you all to see them.

Bryan and Kassie {e- session}

It has been several weeks since I shot the 1st half of Bryan and Kassie’s engagement session.  They are “huge” LSU fans and wanted to shoot their engagements at LSU.  Their reception is at LSU also.  It was a fun afternoon.  After walking around campus a little I had this idea of shooting in the library.  I feel we were able to get some cute images there.   I really like the playfulness of the library shots.  Will post the rest as soon as next session is complete.  Kassie can’t wait to shoot your bridals.  We are going to have so much fun!

Jamie + Shawn Engaged

Completed the second part of Jamie and Shawn’s E-Session.  We took the first half of their photographs at home but traveled to the beach for the second half.  Jamie and Shawn spend as much time as possible there.  We decided that shooting there would document who they are as a couple and what they enjoy most.  Jamie is outgoing and wasn’t hestitate to kick off her shoes and jump in the sand.  Shawn was just steps behind her.  The water was cold but neither one of them hesitated to splash around and enjoy it.  They both are constantly smiling and their laughter was contagious as you will see in the images.  There were so many that I liked it was hard to just pick a few favorites.   Thanks to both of you for allowing me to document this time in your life.  Jamie, I’m looking forward to doing bridals.
