This one might just be my favorite!

I love this last one…

Happy Thursday, everyone!  We’ll be out of town again this afternoon for bridals!

We’ll go ahead and start off with my favorite shot of the afternoon.  This is Blair & Blake @ their finest!  Total improv.  ;)

Can’t you just hear the Corona waves in the background?!  (See our invisible beers?)  Yes, I am embarassingly proud to call this my idea.  haha  I know, I crack myself up.  ;)

And finally, I leave you guys with the humor of these two in their full Louisiana attire!  Woot!

The entire session with the location, the couple, & outfits inspired me to go in the direction of swet, soft, romantic light… LOVE the BLUE dress by the way!!!

Heather’s bright colors were PERFECT.  Matt, you looked good, too!  ;)

Can’t wait til the wedding in October!

And if you think this little girl looks familiar, it’s probably because you’ve seen her @ nine months HERE.  (She also greets you from a beautiful framed canvas when you enter our gallery downtown.)

This little outfit was something Hudsyn’s grandma made for Lindsay, and now herlittle girl gets to wear it, too!  I wanted to go all traditional, inspired by the outfit… classic little doll, classic b/g, and classic little chair.  So precious.

And then… we broke out the beautiful “1″ dress AND cake…  enough said!

Lindsay, I hope you enjoy them!  I’m STILL cracking up with these cake images!  That baby loved her some cake!  ;)

And a few from her sweet little “Western” shoot in May in theme with her first birthday party… SO CUTE!!!

Moms carried little bouquets.  So cute!

This is AP’s baptismal bonnet that was created to turn into the hankerchief is wife would one day carry down the aisle.  AWESOME.  I wish I’d have found something like that for little Parker!

The Palms in Orange took care of the decor for the church as well as the reception venue.  (Flowers, too!)  These white crystal – like trees were just GORGEOUS.  And they were everywhere!  Beautiful.

Some of the following images show just how AWESOME lighting can be (and smoke!)  Such an amazing impact & touch of “drama” to the reception images!

AMAZING groom’s cake

First dance

Congrat’s guys!  I hope you enjoy them!  (Gallery is up!!!)

Carter & his mom have a very exciting time coming up, as Mr. Brady is joining their family and Carter couldn’t be any happier!  Unfortunately, I’m unable to join them for their wedding, so we decided to get together and create some new family images to share with everyone!

Brady is such an amazing guy.  I’ve known his mom for over a decade now!  I’m soooo happy for you guys!

Definately a favorite.  Mary Ann, you are just GORGEOUS!  I can see where Carter gets his good looks!  ;)

This baby just never stops smiling!!!  Love it.

Thinking real hard about something new to show me since we’ve seen each other last….  (He finally decided on showing us how well he can SNAP his fingers.  Quite impressive!)

I brought Carter to a fire truck afterwards as his reward for being SO SWEET for his pictures.  In March, he found one of my firetruck toys and brought that thing EVERYWHERE.  Firetrucks are still the “it” thing for Carter, so when he got to stand on a REAL one, he didn’t know WHAT to do with himself!

Checking out the gauges…

Time to head home…  I think we finally wore him out!    :)

In Carolyn’s old room

Carolyn’s shoes were ordered and delivered with this on it.  Such a neat detail.

Hard core action shot of the videographer!  Look at that pose – he was serious about getting the shot.
