PAUL : ANYTIME

New Orleans, my home.  My home where friends and family are.   I know New Orleans has a lot to offer, but Nola wouldn't be same without them.  And I absolutely love shooting in this amazing city.  So when I was there about a month or so ago, I asked my friend, Paul, if he would like to go shooting with me.  He was happy to do so.  And we had some fun the process, even in the hot, humid conditions that the South so graciously provides.  So a big Thank You goes out to YOU, Paul, for 'sweating' it out with me on our days of shooting..  ;)  You truly are the best!  And I am one lucky girl to know you and to have you as a friend, as would anybody.  And, if it isn't obvious enough...my camera loves you.

If you need more Paul.. His Jeep is coming soon... ;)

JUST SOME WEDDING FUN...

I love weddings!  I love being able to capture THE moment.  And every moment in-between, which are usually my favorite moments to capture.  The interaction, the randomness, the fun, the love, and the happiness between two people.  I've been going thru some of my images from some of my favorite weddings that I have had the opportunity to shoot.  And as I look at these, I can remember each day like it was yesterday!  And my favorite compliment that has been given to me:  "I love your style.  I love how fun you are and how easy you make this for everyone.  You're patient, relaxed, fun, and easy going.."

I just wanted to share a few of my favorites.  

ITS A GOOD "NIGHTMARE"

A while ago I was asked by Robin Parrish, a successful novelist, if he could use one of my photos for his new upcoming book.  I immediately said YES!  I think it was one of those instances where no thinking was required to come up with an answer.  I was honored that he wanted to use one of my photos for this newly raved novel.  I just couldn't wait for his book to come out.  It's been months in the waiting!  But the waiting is over..  This week I was finally able to check my mail.  And there it was.  THE book.  "Nightmare."  And it was marked with a piece of white paper where my photo was.  Yep.  At Chapter Eight.  It was pretty much pure awesomeness to see! 

Robin chose one of my images of The Myrtles Plantation.  Last year I was able to visit this famous Plantation in St. Francisville, LA.  If you'd like, you can check out my blog post about it and see why this southern plantation is.. in.. fact.. 'haunted'...  I love visiting this place whenever I get a chance.  It's not only haunted, it's absolutely beautiful and very intriguing.  Definitely a place worth visiting.

Thank you Robin for choosing one of my images for your new book!  I can't wait to read it!  I'm hearing such great things about it!
