BUSY BUSY AND BUSY – WHAT ELSE?

Hey y’all –

It’s just been crazy busy. I’m really just trying to do so much at once. I finally admitted to myself last week that I need to push myself to do more to invest into my business. I am now talking with two different companies – one to help me do standard color editing (then me put final touches on them) and another one who designs personal photoblogs. They are amazing! I can’t wait to see what my bigger and better improved photoblog will look like when it’s all done (still at the beginning stages with them to figure out what I want).

In the meantime – I have the Philly wedding to finish editing, and I need to order more albums for the weddings I did in the last two months AND for the ones I’m about to fly out all throughout July for. I am so fortunate for all the business that has come my way – I just need to figure out a quicker turnaround pace so I’m more at ease and my clients get their photos faster!

My “event” hosted by Purple was this past Sunday and it was a success! I was humbly flattered by the number of people who came around for it and loved meeting several new faces. Thank you to all of you who came out to support me, and especially the fathers! (It was on Father’s Day). We have some photos from the event but haven’t uploaded any yet but you can see a few footage from the news (print and TV) at these links…. I hate seeing myself on TV but whatever. I just did another interview for The Advocate this morning so I’ll let you know if that comes out. Also, I have an interview with 225 Magazine in July as well. This Purple gig definitely got me some local attention – it’s nice! Gets more eyes onto my work – and hopefully – more business!

I just created an ad for my alma matta high school’s program – Check it out below. Definitely hope to get tons and tons of seniors this year!

Here’s a shot from Lyla’s shoot in May. Just love this one!

Here’s one of Sarah I took @ The Beach Wedding!

Y’all have a good day! It’s so hot here and I’d be lying if I didn’t say I wish I wanted it to chill up just a tad bit. This afternoon, I will be doing an annual shoot of two cute sisters – Madeline & Christina. It should be fun!

Deanna’s Senior Photos

I did this set of Deanna who graduated from East Ascension High this past May at the Jambalya Park. Congratulations Deanna!

Jon’s Senior Photos

Here are some senior portraits of Jon who graduated from Parkview Baptist with Hannah!

We did these around the Chimes area near LSU, as well as the campgrounds – always does me justice.

EMILY – an EA Senior

Emily graduated from East Ascension High School this past May – CONGRATULATIONS!

Here are some kick ass portraits from her session we did back in April. I love how they came out and I especially love the old school CLOSEUP of her. One of my favorites!

For those of you who know Alynn – this is her goddaughter! (Laura’s daughter)

More Alex Senior Portraits!

Now that I’m finally done with DC shoots, I’m wrapping up tons of senior portrait sessions I did in April and May to get CDs burnt and given out to them. I did quick edits on a few for those to use for cards/friends etc – but time to WRAP up!!

I love Alex’s eyes! She is so photogenic (even though she’d probably disagree – LOL). Gorgeous!!!

Rock and Roll TASHA

Tasha graduated from Gallaudet this past semester so she wanted to do some fun senior portraits to look back and remember herself by. I looooove how they look! So edgy and so much fun, and I love the hot pink!

Ashley McAroy

Here are some of Ashley’s photos from her session with me. We did some solo senior portrait stuff and some with her and her boyfriend.

Love ’em!

Lauren Benedict – Senior Portraits

I had tons of fun shooting Lauren for her senior portrait session! Too many amazing shots to choose the best, so here are a few for you to check out!

Laney Gautreau’s Senior Portraits

Laney who goes to St. Amant High (my alma matta!) did her her session with me for her senior portraits and we just had a ball!

It was SO hot when we did our shoot, but you’d never know with her immaculate skin and gorgeous long legs. She played volleyball for St. Amant – they didn’t even have volleyball when I went to school there in ’93-’96!

Good luck with your future, Laney!

RANDOM TATE SHOTS

Here are a few photos from when I met Baby Violet for the first time last Thursday (we went to eat sushi at Ichiban ). She is an angel!

Here’s some shots from Jon’s Senior Shoot Session yesterday morning.

Some “booze-hangout” photos from last night in our courtyard @ Maison Looziana!
