Whenever I do, it reminds me of how much I want a photo of my Mom, Dad, myself and my 3 brothers. I have so many photos of Randy and I from our Engagement and Wedding&#8230; I need my family in some pics for around the house :) I being the photographer in the family should be on top of this! Unfortunately, I&#8217;m not! I can&#8217;t ever seem to get it together. The last time we had professional photos done was almost 10 years ago! We are due!<\/p>\n<p>So meet the Barrient Family &#8211; they traveled from all over! Mom and Dad were from Biloxi, Ashley is now living in Chicago and Brittany lives here in NOLA. I find a lot of times when a family books with me they always schedule brunch or a nice meal after their photos. That sounds like a lot of fun- makes me want to do the same!<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;m over my blah mood from last week! It&#8217;s a new week, it&#8217;s MONDAY and I soaked in alot from church yesterday morning. I just booked a fabulous bride this morning, actually looked at my calendar when I got home and realized that I&#8217;ve booked the last 11 brides that I&#8217;ve met with! I can honestly say a lot of it has to do with giving so much of myself here on my blog. I received a really sweet email from a blog reader a few minutes ago that reminded me of that! Can&#8217;t wait to photograph my couple&#8217;s Engagement session this afternoon! Life is precious, God is good and we all have so much to be thankful for!!<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-4625 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-large'><figure
