Lauryn & Hayes - Engaged

What a wonderful and fun couple! During this whole session I literally could not stop smiling because their personalities are contagious, they kept laughing and joking around which was great for all of us! Hayes is very laid back and really wanted to just bum around the French Quarter for some relaxed candid pictures and Lauryn was fine with that too. The only request was that we stop along the way for refreshments, which of course we did. Starting at Pat O's in the Quarter with a taste of the famous Hurricane we then ventured to walk the streets and ended up finding a Lucky Dog stand in Jackson Square, which is somewhat rare. It was so cute how they shared a bite and I found out that it's one of their favorite stops when visiting New Orleans. The last spot for a sweet taste of beignet's was of course Café Du Monde where it was VERY crowded but, luckily we got the perfect corner table after just a few minutes of waiting. Overall the afternoon was very fun, relaxed and perfect weather... a great day to celebrate young love :)

A New Orleans Family Session

My dear sweet Family! It's something like this that makes me so happy to have the career I have chosen in life. These are the type of shots that say Family to me. Fun, happy, laid back and just plain cute! Gerald & Noelle (New Orleans Natives) and their beautiful girls Kate and Meg took some time out of their vacation to hang out with me in the Quarter and we had a blast! We luckily happened on a street that was clear of cars for street cleaning - love Tuesdays for that - and got a great shot of them walking and taking in the beautiful architecture. Then it was on to Café du Mondé for some coffee & beignets, then a quick stop in Jackson Square where the girls turned on the charm and talked a nice man into letting us take a quick shot in his carriage. These girls are somethin else I'm telling you... I love them to death! Love to my cousins, I hope you enjoy these...
