Grace Greer 1 year session

Well this entry has been on my mind for the last week since shooting with Courtney and Baby Grace and I'm so excited to get it up here. Finally with kids in bed a while ago - it's going on about 12:30am - my quiet time! I guess it's when I blog best, glass of wine and an old favorite movie on in the background...Top Gun, ya Baby! It was on and just could not resist.. classic!

Grace and Courtney could not have been cuter... the weather was so beautiful on location at this Lakeview home and it was a good thing we postponed from our original date a few weeks earlier, so the vision could come to life. I can't believe it's been a year since we did her newborn photo session they grow so fast and I feel very lucky to have witnessed and documented her first steps with no help from mommy!!! We could not believe it was happening while I was shooting, and of course it was fun to have Sandlin there and get some of the cousins together. Such a great experience. Enjoy...

 

 

 

 

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...
