Thank you!!!

Funny thing happened yesterday.  My friend, Jess, called last night & ask if I said seen the Times.  Yearly, the Times runs 2 issues with “The ORIGINAL Best of Southwest Louisiana Readers Poll”, where SWLA votes on what & who they feel are the best restaurants, bands, local artists, etc.  Well….. thanks to YOU GUYS, I was voted SECOND!!!  Second ONLY to the legendary Victor Mousour!  How AWESOME is that?!  And, congrats also to Mr. Bobby Monds for placing third.  To be smashed between two great & legendary local photographers, it’s an honor. 

The funniest part of this whole thing:  I had no clue I was on the ballot!  So, I didn’t even know anything about it – obviously – until a few days after it published.

So THANK YOU AGAIN, PEOPLE! 

It has made my weekend.  So I’m off to get ready for my wedding this afternoon.  I hope everyone is NOT working this weekend (like me) and outside enjoying the awesome weather.  (Adam’s out enjoying it without me - on an all day ride with my dad and brother-in-law down to the beach and across the coast!)

Jaime & Cody

Here’s some of my favorites from Jaime & Cody’s session.  They were both so natural in front of the camera & I’m just in love with her gorgeous cheekbones.    We had a great time & battled out the heat.  (Thanks again for the water, Cody!!!)

Kinsey

Kinsey’s mom decided she’d like to have an afternoon “girly” session for this cute three year old.  So, we played dress up, fed ducks, & played in a fountain.  

Someone is a HUGE fan of LSU Tigers.  This is ALL Kinsey wanted to wear!

Feeding ducks was actually an “improv” move by moi.  I was munching on some crackers (warding off morning sickness) while driving that way & decided to share half my bag with the birds.    Kinsey loved it.

Morgan & Danny

These two AWESOME people were married awhile back and I never blogged anything from their wedding, as well as all of the OTHER weddings I’ve had every weekend for the past THREE months!  So, don’t ask me WHY I started with theirs to blog, but I did!  Morgan decided to get ready at home before making her way to the church, which made for really great and DIFFERENT shots to begin their day with…

She is an AMAZING artist, as is Danny as well!  When bored in class or work , Morgan doddled her dress & bouquet. 

Morgan’s brothers & dad had an interesting time trying to get their ties tied.  This lasted several minutes! 

Before brother #2 finally broke out the computer & found the right “technique”.

With Morgan working at Starbucks, it was only appropriate to see a few beautiful unopened bags of coffee in the kitchen.

The wedding was at St. Margaret’s Catholic Church, my favorite church to shoot at!

Danny, SO proud of his cake!
