Olivia: Senior 08

Finally!! Here’s the start of a plethora of catch up posts! Olivia is the younger sister of one of my great friends, Candace. They asked me to take Liv’s senior portraits, and I jumped at the opportunity. Olivia is a beautiful, fun, and talented girl… a cheerleader at DSHS, a candidate for the LSU cheer squad, DSHS prom queen, etc, etc, etc. She’s got everything going for her and the world by the tail! We had SUCH a blast trekking across the LSU campus and getting some fun action shots. Thanks for the honor of shooting you, Olivia! I wish you the best in all you do!

Catching Up

Now that I’m back in the saddle and things have finally slowed down, it’s time for me to get caught up! Here are a couple of pics from sessions back in January. The first victim is Brittany Winters, an almost-cousin of mine, skilled pianist, and graduation senior from the Denham Springs area. The second is Lauren Thomas (and boyfriend prop), the neice of a friend of mine, and a graduating senior from Alexandria.

Busy Weekend

I originally planned to swear off photography work for the month of my wedding, but I renigged! I couldn’t bear to put the camera down for that long. So, I went into this busy weekend with a request that all parties understand if my turnaround times are a little distorted because of my wedding insanity. Thankfully, all were agreeable and understanding. Here’s a quick peek at my two shoots. I’ll give a more detailed version of their sessions later (once I get more edited!).

In brief, had a morning senior shoot and afternoon engagement session. Olivia is a senior at Denham Springs High school and is trying out for the LSU cheer squad soon. Good luck, Livi!

Holly and Jeremy are a wonderfully fun, outdoorsy couple and are getting married in June. I can’t wait to shoot you guys’ wedding! Enjoy the peek! 

More pics soon!

The Lovely Lauren

You know, I really believe our good Lord to be just and fair. But I for one think it is really unfair of Him to give one person (i.e. Lauren) the gift of such stunning inner AND outer beauty. It doesn’t hurt either that she’s probably one of the sweetest little ladies you’ll ever meet. And Godly. That’s a dynamite combo. In an effort to capture the essence of Lauren, we got some amazing beauty shots as well as some really heart-pricking photos of her studying her Bible quizzing cards. If you don’t know her, just take my word for it. Beauty…inside and out.

^ Lauren was voted Quizzer of The Year at the North American Bible Quiz Tournament!

^ Lauren with her suitcase and trophies. This is pretty much everything she does!

^ This photo gets my heart every time. (I’m playing with some textures here, in case you can’t tell)

Courtney…the New Tyra

But of course, I’m referring to Tyra Banks. Courtney Oubre was such an BLAST! For her ANTM-esque shoot, we drove to Ponchatoula, Louisiana, and had so much fun sneaking into chain link fences, ignoring nosey onlookers, and changing in the car. We got the fun shots as well as the serious senior pics she was looking for. I hope you LOVE them, Courtney! You’re gorgeous!!!

To all my followers <snicker!>: Please forgive the posting delay. I’ve been slammed for the holidays and posting pics has gotten pushed to the back burner. Check back again over the weekend as I’ll be posting pics from the last five shoots (yes, I’m that far behind!).
