  • Julia :: Newborn

    Wow, what an honor it is to photograph the first born for your good friends! I’ve known Wesley since we were children! His parents and my parents go wayyyy back! Then I met Erica around age 11 or 12! It’s so awesome to see these two get married and bring this precious miracle into the world! I photographed this session on Valentine’s Day morning! :) I am finally getting all caught up with editing. I took off a couple of days for Mardi Gras, but I have been sitting at my computer the last 2 days pumping out some great images for my clients!! I am excited about all that will be on the blog in the next few days :)

    Here are my favs from Julia’s session:

  • Erin :: Maternity

    Let me just tell you.. this was probably the coldest session I’ve ever photographed! This group surely knew how to roll with the punches when it came to the weather, I think it was around 34 degrees that morning! I had a great time photographing Erin’s Maternity session, it was nice to add her family in for some, too! I am looking forward to meeting her little man next month when he gets here! He will be joining the Grow With Me club- can’t wait!!

    Just a reminder to expectant Mom’s… please get in touch with me well in advance to book your newborn shoots- I’ve been having to turn alot of shoots away lately because of waiting too late to book. Right now I’m booking for late June – July is almost full.

    Here are some of my fav’s from Erin’s Maternity session!!

     

  • Daniel & Melissa :: Wedding

    Daniel & Melissa married on Friday, February 3, 2012! Preparation was held at Melissa’s brothers home, the Ceremony was at St. Dominic Church in Lakeview and the Reception was at beautiful English Turn! I had so much fun photographing Daniel and Melissa’s Engagement session and Melissa’s Bridals. These 2 are so laid back and make such a cute match! Their Mardi Gras striped shirts made a few appearances throughout the day! I love how it’s their little inside joke! It’s always nice to capture such a sweet relationship on their special day! Thank you guys for being so awesome, we loved your Wedding!!! By the way, Daniel and Melissa had an artist at the reception who was painting a canvas right on the spot! He captured the dance floor perfectly and I am soooo jealous I didn’t know about this when I got married. His name is Alex Harvie! I was in awe the entire night watching him paint! What a priceless treasure to hang on your wall!! Just like photos ;) Great working with Shannon & Suzette from UpSa Daisy Salon, Kirk & Lillie from One Louder Videography and the Mixed Nuts!

    Here are some of my favs:
