  • Hey ya’ll!!

    Welcome to my new blog-site! Scroll down to view my recent photo shoots and weddings! Or look above at the menu to find blog posts with images in all categories and lots of information on booking a photo shoot or wedding! Please click on the Contact button above if you have any questions at all!!

    I am a natural light, life-style and wedding photographer based in southwest Louisiana. However, I love to escape this Cajun country as often as I can! I have traveled from California, to Las Vegas, to Jamaica for weddings! My husband and I recently had our first child, Emma Kay, so my traveling has somewhat slowed down. My world revolves around her! I am very informal and I run my business that way. I enjoy creating friendships with my clients. Please email me, facebook friend me, text me or stop me on the street and say hello!

Nocona’s senior session!!

This is my first senior of 2009!!  Nocona was so much fun!  And she’s gorgeous and suuuuuuper photogenic!

I love the black and white photos with the white shirt. Something in her look…you can read her personality. As always….great job girl!

Leslie - December 12, 2008 - 3:54 am

These are freaking awesome! I am so jealous of her… way back in ’98 I had to take the same old cookie cutter Picture This pics that every other person in my class had. I wish there were more photographers like you when I took my senior pics! great job!!!

Jace + Cale

Man, where do I start with these two.  I couldn’t ask for a better pair of models.  And they come with so much attitude!  I LOVE it!  Jace is just like his mom.  And Cale is just like his dad.  Exactly!  This is my second time playing photographer with them.  I hope we have many more times together.  No matter what kinda mood I’m in or what I’m feeling, they make me HAPPY!  And I know I’ve found a friend in their mom, Dawn.  Thanks Dawn for taking me to Casa.  Thanks for talking with me for so long.  It really helps to talk to you and know that I’m not alone.  I appreciated your email the other day too.  You guys are welcome in front of my camera ANY TIME!

Photobucket

Jace cannot made a serious face for the life of him!

Photobucket

But man when I catch him not paying attention, he is FIERCE looking!

Photobucket

Although he does have one of the cutest smiles I’ve EVER seen!

Photobucket

Photobucket

More FIERCENESS!

Photobucket

Now Cale on the other hand.  He MUST practice this, cause when he gets in front of my camera, boy he can turn ON the charm!

Photobucket

Boy will drive the girls nuts one day!

I don’t remember what he was saying here, but somewhere along the lines of how many girlfriends he has.  Which is quite a few!

Photobucket

But he likes ME the best:)  Wait, only next to his MOMMY!!!

Photobucket

Pretty much one of my favorite pictures of all time!

Photobucket

All Jace’s idea.  Boy is a ROCKSTAR!

And this wall was all Cale.  He found it and knew it was perfect.  Good job buddy!

Kim + Matt E-session & Jaime’s Kids

ALL IN ONE POST!  Rather then post two, I’ll just put it in one.  So I should get DOUBLE the comments, right?  Don’t let me down people:)

I knew I would like Kim from the first time I talked to her on the phone.  She’s really planning a gorgeous wedding.  I’m super excited about it next year.

Photobucket

This is Kim’s daughter.  She is sssssssuch a HAM for the camera!  We’ll be partners in crime at the wedding.  I can already tell!

Ok, for those of you who care.  I rented a lens from LensRentals.  It’s a Tamron (yes you heard me, NOT Canon glass) 70-200mm 2.8.  I LOVE IT.  I didn’t think I would.  You know, off brand.  But omg!  It’s awesome.  Every single one of these pictures and the post below was taken with this lens.  The color is awesome and I barely had to do any post processing.  Just a slight tweak!  Check them out!!!
