Avery 8 week Session

It's been a crazy few months and although I have a ton of wedding photograph's to put up I am starting with these sweet images of baby Avery. We had a very fun and eventful time at her eight week photo session! She was awake and ready for her closeup just as I arrived... and she continued to stay that way although we were sure she would pass out at any moment! Finally she gave up and we got some sweet sleepy baby photos too! Can't wait till her next one... Thank you so much Katie and Mrs. Michelle for all the help, it was so much fun!

Lens Baby for art sake

I took some personal time one afternoon (which is a VERY rare occasion!!!) and went to the French Quarter to just mess around and realized I had never really used my "lens baby". Its a funny little lens, with small bellows which you can bend and squish in all different directions which creates a distortion around the edges of the frame. This is how you control the focus, it is completely manual, no buttons or settings. My collegue Jamil gave it to me a long time ago and I had always been curious about it, never used it much since the application is more artistic than anything. Walking around I found some interesting textures, patterns and just funky stuff and had a blast! Here are a few favorites...

The beautiful Blondiau Family Portraits... We had great weather for this casual photo session of the girls and some family pics of them just playing together! I think they really embraced the idea of just hanging out while I took some action shots, although I think Penny was trying to hide from me in the tree :-) Then they really turned on the charm for the dressy indoor portraits... what great faces!!! Love it! I hope the grandparents enjoyed their gifts and will have these images up for a long time.
