YES! You read that right – Jordan and Jordan! I had a great time photographing this sweet couple with the same name :) When assisting them with posing, I referred to them as Guy Jordan and Girl Jordan. That’s what they said their friends call them! We took these in the Botanical Gardens at City Park and then a few in the more traditional parts of the park. It was a beautiful day – not too hot and slightly breezy. I’ve really been enjoying the weather lately and I always love an excuse to be outside soaking up some sun and fresh air!

Here are some that I loved from their session:

This is where Jordan proposed to Jordan, so we did a little reenactment as a keepsake :)

I loved photographing Clay & Sarah’s Engagement session on LSU’s campus! It brought back so many memories for me! Although I felt like I lost my sense of direction around there – it was awesome being back! I can’t believe it’s been 5 years since graduating college, time flies.

Sarah and Clay have been dating for a while, they even grew up on the same street! But there’s a funny story behind it. It wasn’t until a class in college when they sat near each other that things changed and they became more than friends. Clay picked up Sarah for their first date…. he asked her address… ironically it was on the same street as him! They had no clue :) I love walking and talking with couples while taking their photos. I get to learn all about how they met, what they do, where they plan to live, talk about their Wedding plans, etc. It’s lots of fun!

I photographed Clay’s sister Katie’s Wedding a couple of months ago, so I was so excited when Clay’s fiance Sarah contacted me to shoot their Engagements :) We had a great day… here are some that I loved:

I had a fabulous time with James and Jennifer last week! James was pretty much like any other typical guy and he wasn’t completely thrilled that his fiance wanted to do an hour long photo shoot :) So I usually take it upon myself to make sure the guys are comfortable and just have fun with it. While editing, there was lots of pics of just the two of them just laughing… love those moments! I would say…. “now come on James, it isn’t that bad, right?!” I love the way this session came out and I think it reflects their love for each other. Although I’m not photographing this couples Wedding… I am still honored when couples choose me to photograph their Engagements! Love meeting new clients and capturing special times like this!

We took the first half in the Botanical Gardens where we found some beautiful flowers and greenery. Next, we headed nextdoor to Storyland were we found lots of bright and colorful backgrounds. Disney music played in the background and we finished up near the colorful heart house! Love those pics at the end :)

Here are some I loved!

Well this post is going to be a little out of the ordinary! It’s a PROPOSAL!! I was so thrilled when Patrick (Sparky) called me to let me know he was going to be proposing to one of my best friends, EMILY! I was so happy! Well the day approached and I sat nervous as can be in Jackson Square last Saturday with my husband Randy! Just waiting for the big moment… Sparky had a nice romantic day planned for the two of them. It started off with some drinks in the Quarter and window browsing on Royal Street. Sparky was calling me every now and then (when he would tell Emily he needed to go to the bathroom) and filling me in on what was going on and when they would arrive.

Well the moment came and I saw them approaching… all I could think was oh noooo, she’s going to see me, she’s going to see me!!! I had on a hat and sunglasses in hopes that I would be less visible! Although the lighting isn’t perfect and there’s times when they stepped into the direct sun, it’s okay! This moment is saved and frozen in time for them and I couldn’t have been happier to be there for it!

So here it goes….

This is them walking through Jackson Square…. Emily just pointing and having no clue whats about to happen!

Spark getting the ring out of his pocket….Down on one knee :)Putting the ring on her finger.A kiss!!A hug!!An OHH MY GOODNESS, look at my RING face!!And then…. Hi Jen! :)SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!

I photographed this sweet couple a few days ago in the French Quarter! It was a beautiful day, right before all this rain came! I’ve had to reschedule several shoots from this week due to the yucky weather! Luckily, Andrae & Kabeer had a nice sunny day for their shoot on Monday :)

We wandered all through the streets of the French Quarter looking for some interesting spots! I loved Andrae’s dress – blue is such a pretty color!

Here are some of my favs from their session. Such a cute, fun loving couple!!!
