Amy's Maternity Shoot | 40+ weeks

2012-01-14T18:24:00.000-08:00

Amy is past due.

As in, her due date was Wednesday, and now it's Saturday.

Let's all pray that Baby Girl decides to come soon!

Maternity Leave Announcement

2012-01-12T14:33:00.000-08:00

This pregnancy has FLOWN by. I can't believe that it's already mid-January. That means I only have 5 weeks left until this little guy makes his arrival. I am so very excited, but am also feeling anxious about the changes coming our way.

Just to give everyone a heads-up, I WILL be taking a break from photography for 6 weeks when the baby is born. February 1 - March 15 will be my official maternity leave. After that I am scheduling a LIMITED number of Saturday sessions until the beginning of the summer. This will be the new norm for me until I can get a handle on "mothering-for-two" :)

*If you want to schedule a session for a weekend in January, please contact me ASAP.
*If you are interested in scheduling something for the end of March or April, please let me know.

Thank you to everyone for your love and support! I appreciate you all.
Can't wait to show off the new addition. :)

True. Love.

Sibling Sunday

2011-12-16T12:44:00.000-08:00

A few weeks ago, I had three shoots in one day, all with pairs of siblings.

It was freezing outside, but the lighting was great!

And it was fun to see all the sibling love!

Autumn Bouquet

I'm not sure I've EVER seen a more gorgeous bouquet of flowers.

These colors just SING to me. If I could do mine over again, they would look like this.

So. Lovely.

I had a couple of fall sessions this past weekend at a Pumpkin Patch. They were so fun, and they're making me excited for October 22nd. There is still time to sign up for my Fall Minis coming up in a few weeks. Just email me to book your time slot, and click here if you want more information.

2011-10-06T11:33:00.000-07:00

I absolutely loved this session!!!

Partly because I've never had such a cooperative two-year-old before! I can never get my daughter to be as patient for pictures as he was. This family was so fun, the weather was amazing, and the location couldn't have been more perfect. And I'm especially in love with how the "couple" shots turned out at the end. I want pictures like that with my husband!

Celebrating Motherhood | Adrienne's Maternity Shoot

2011-09-16T07:52:00.000-07:00

I enjoyed this shoot SO VERY MUCH. First of all, I love the model. She's one of my best friends. But also, I love the reason behind this kind of shoot. We were out there to celebrate the pregnancy, to capture this time of life, to show off those beautiful womanly curves. I'm sure I feel more emotion toward this subject since I myself am pregnant right now, but it just felt wonderful to be out there (in Adrienne's own front yard) in that gorgeous light, celebrating her upcoming arrival. It was simply glorious. I love my job.

Just got back from Texas, photographing the Western Wedding of Hannah & Nick. It was so much fun and the details were perfect! Hannah did a great job organizing everything and pulling it all together. I've been dying to show you these bridals ever since we took them 2 months ago in June. They turned out FABULOUS! She's got the prettiest smile. :)

Buckaroo Birthday -- All in the Details

2011-05-21T13:35:00.000-07:00

My amazing friend Amy has done it again. Remember last year's Yellow Party? Well this year's "Buckaroo Birthday" was a huge success as well, complete with pony rides, coloring stations, amazing food, and a beautifully coordinated color-scheme. All of the details were simply perfect. I don't know how she does it again and again.

I designed the invite and took photos at the event. Amy took care of everything else. I'm totally impressed by her creativity and ability to think up these birthday themes. The only thing left for her to do is learn how to control this 92 degree weather!

Happy Birthday Comeaux Kids! Love you!

Hey Everybody! I'm back.
My Texas Sessions and Easter Weekend were awesome.
Here's a little glimpse into what I've been up to.

Em and the Bunnies | Easter Sessions

2011-04-14T08:42:00.000-07:00

This little girl LOVED spending 20 minutes with the bunnies. Lots of hugs and kisses were shared. I loved capturing her big brown eyes and sweet expressions. Happy Easter, indeed. :)

Easter Sessions Preview!

2011-04-09T21:41:00.000-07:00

Just got done editing a few select pictures from today's sessions. There are so many more good ones, but I can only share a few. There are too many other things on my plate right now. Things will get back to normal when I return from Texas before Easter. Enjoy the preview!

April Promotions & Traveling Schedule

2011-04-03T20:52:00.000-07:00

I have good news and bad news.

The good news is that EASTER Sessions are coming up THIS WEEKEND!!! And I am so excited. One of my girls from church is letting us use her beautiful rabbit for our shoots. It's going to be so fun to see the kids in their Easter clothing holding a real live bunny. There are still a couple of available slots if any of you are interested.

The bad news is that it looks like the Texas BLUEBONNET Sessions need to be improvised. From what I hear, the Bluebonnets bloomed early this year and might be mowed down before I get there for our sessions. So we're improvising and I will be holding SPRING Mini-Sessions instead. Same Dates, Same Deal, just a different venue.

I will be in Houston for sessions on Friday, Saturday & Sunday of next week (April 15-17), and I will be in San Antonio for sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday of the following week (April 19-21). Let me know if you're interested in booking. There are still openings.

I know this is totally unrelated, but here's an amazing photo of my neighbor before her Prom yesterday. I can't post without a photo right? This is a photo blog after all.

Session Updates

2011-04-02T14:55:00.000-07:00

The past few weeks have been pretty busy for me. I've had several engagement shoots, a few family/kiddo shoots, a newborn shoot, and a handful of senior shoots! I have LOVED every session and intend to do each one justice with their own blog posts, but until I have time to do that, you'll have to live with this little glimpse into each one. Be patient with me! More to come soon!

Mac for Sale

2011-04-02T14:33:00.000-07:00

It's time to say goodbye to my trusty friend and companion of the last 3 years. We've spent many hours together, but alas, I've decided it's time to upgrade, so this little beauty is going to find a new home. Here's some vital information in case you are an interested buyer:

Brand Spanking New 500 GB hard drive (less than a month old)
Mac OS X (10.6.5) Operating System (Snow Leopard)
Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
DVD player/writer
Comes with iMovie, GarageBand, iPhoto, iTunes, PhotoBooth, etc.
I'm also throwing in my copy of Adobe CS3 Design Premium and a green 8GB ipod.

Ashley's Bridals in New Orleans

2011-03-27T12:17:00.000-07:00

I've been waiting patiently to post these pictures for over a month now!

This is beautiful Ashley who (today) is marrying the love of her life at the Audubon Zoo. We walked all over the zoo for her Bridal shoot, and even made some time to walk around the French Quarter before the sun went down. She is a lovely bride and was so easy to work with. Congratulations Ashley & Tommy!

Michael & Natalie | An Engagement Preview

2011-03-26T10:37:00.000-07:00

This weekend is about to become CrAzY busy with shoots, so I wanted to take this quiet moment to give a quick preview of this morning's engagement session. This is my sister Natalie and her fiance Michael. They're both "gamers" (hence the Nintendo T-shirts) and they've been falling for each other since the summer of 2008. They're getting married in June, and I'm so excited to document their wedding.

Enjoy the preview!

Headshots

2011-03-24T14:55:00.000-07:00

I've had the opportunity to do some headshots for a couple of local professionals over the past 2 weeks. It's been fun to do something a little different from my normal routine. In fact, I'm going to add a "Headshots" option to my pricing list in the next few days. I hope to do many more of these sessions in the future!

These two are in Love with a capital "L" and it's so sweet to see.

They can't wait to spend eternity with each other,

and luckily they only have to wait for about 75 more days.

Love must really be in the air,

because I have two more engagement shoots coming up this weekend!

Stay tuned.
