MARC AND JESSIE

sweet couple, huh?

These images are, of course, Marc and Jessie, that were photographed at Frogmore. Jessie scheduled the two-part session. She wanted images of Mark and his children for his mom and grandmother for Mother's Day. We surpized them with a sweet slideshow of the images. I heard they truly enjoyed this gift. Jessie as you can tell is not their mom. She is Marc's girlfriend. I was impressed with the fact that she didn't put herself in any of the images with them...she may be a permanent figure in their life one day, but for now she's just a very special person in their life. After all, your photos are forever, but not all relationships will be. However, I will add my 2 cents...I think Marc, Kayla and Blake are very lucky to have a special someone like Jessie in their lives.

My New Daugher-in-Law and My Little Sweetheart, Natalie

Two years ago and 10 months ago, when my grand daughter, Natalie, was born, Brittany became a part of our family. It's official. She shares the same name as her daughter, her husband and the rest of our family. It was a simple beautitul wedding. I am so proud of my son and new daughter. Of course, Natalie made everything all the more precious. I wanted to quickly post some images from the bridal session that was done before the wedding and some other images that were used at the wedding. I only took a few at the wedding. I did hire a professional photographer to capture the memories of this special day. But I couldn't resist having a camera in my lap too. I did have a great angle of Natalie trying to help her mommy and daddy with the unity candle that I will post later. But for now please enjoy these images:

This first one was my favorite from the Bridal Portrait Session and was displayed at the door of the reception.

I designed this collage for a special wedding favor that I made (I mean my husband made...I did designed it, but my sweet husband came through for me and really helped out the last few weeks).
Natalie kissing her mommy.
I designed this collage from the first engagment session that we did in the fall on the campus of LSU. It was displayed on an easel on the groom's table with his LSU cake.
This was the engagement signature board. Rather than matting a 5x7 or 4x6 for the wedding party to sign at the rehearsal dinner, I made this in a 11x14 size for them to sign. Through all the chaos, I forgot to take it to the rehearsal dinner. So I just took it back to the lake house and asked everyone to sign it while waiting to take their photographs.

[AREN'T THEY A CUTE COUPLE/FAMILY? I THINK THESE COLLAGES REALLY DEPICT THEIR RELATIONSHIP.]

I also loved this one and did another wall portrait in this image and it was displayed near the bride's table.

Isn't she beautiful?
And her mommy is too.

I love, love this one too. I don't think it was posed. I think it was just what I caught Brittany doing while thinking about what we would do next. She is such a natural.

We must have at least one tinted image, uh?
I have more images posted on Natalie's blog from the wedding day.

That's it for now. I will try to post more images later.

P.S.

I am re-posting this because there was an error in it.

Let's see if this one works. There was an error in the first time I made. I corrected the spelling, but the link didn't correct itself. So I deleted it and re-added. Hopefully, this one will work. If not go to my favorites and click on "My Little Sweetheart".

ENGAGEMENT SESSION: FALL 2007

HEATHER AND ROBERT'S ENGAGMENT SESSION

The above image is the collage that I created for her from the images she chose. She displayed this at her wedding this past weekend (2.16.8).

Louisiana Woman

Mississippi Man

If you happen to have been a guest of this recent wedding, you totally get the Louisiana Woman and Mississippi Man titles. Heather perferomed a musical tribute to her new husband featuring the old song by Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty: "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man!" What a fun wedding! It was and honor an priviledge to share this special day with this sweet couple and their families. As most of you know "I don't do weddings". But certain people come into your life and they become family...so yes, sometimes I do "family" weddings (I gift most of it to them because at this time you can't really pay me enough to make it worth it.)

I am always more than thrilled to do engagement sessions and bridal portraits. Below are some sweet images and some fun images from their engagement session. This session was captured back in the fall duirng my most crazy time of the year. I shot them, but didn't get to them until later trying to get all the holiday stuff done. I just love the way they relaxed and such a fun engagement session~~~that's just the way it should be.


You can just see the love...



I love this. It just makes me smile and think of the one I love!


And last but not least, their baby...

Sorry, Heather I forgot his name again. I guess I should have included his name on the model release too. LOL

That's it for this post. I will add some of the bridal session next and then maybe a few from the wedding which has not been edited yetl In fact, I am still burning CDs for the back up files.
