Bailey

Bailey is by far one of the sweetest people I have ever met! And a piece of cake to photograph! She is not only completely gorgeous on the outside, but has the most beautiful heart on the inside! I truly enjoyed photographing her. She asked me a while ago to shoot her senior pictures... and here are just a few of my favorites.

This is just how sweet this girl is... She brought me a gift! An awesome pad with "C"s on each page!! It's perfect for me because I am always doodling and making lists on everything. Thank you Bailey!! You're the best!

Yipee!

Okay... so I've been working really hard on the new blog and it's coming along so nicely that I had to stop by here for a minute just to mention it!! :) It's going to be WAY cooler than this blog... like, it's going to kick this blog's booty! :) It will have different pages that have all sorts of neat info, frequently asked questions, and more! Not to mention it will be prettier! It'll almost be it's own little website. I'm excited!

I don't have a date for when it will be launched... but my goal is for it to be online in March sometime! YAY!

Have a fabulous Thursday evening everyone.

I realize this one is completely random! It's taken in one of the biggest toy stores in NYC. I just thought the Barbie was interesting. :)

Sarah and Steffan get married!

I met Sarah several years ago. Long before Steffan was in the picture. I actually shot her sister's wedding 4 or 5 years ago! Sarah told me then that someday I would be her wedding photographer. She kept her word, booked me 2 years ago as soon as she got engaged and we have been planning everything since then. I must say, planning your wedding 2 years is a really good idea if you can manage it because her wedding went incredibly smooth. I was very impressed by everything. Myrna Miller from Walnut Street coordinated the whole thing and she a fabulous job! The wedding took place at St. Joseph Catholic Church in New Orleans, and the reception was held at the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel. Both venues were beautiful and everything flowed perfectly.

Courtney from Salon Indigo in Lafayette did everyone's hair and makeup. She is AMAZING at what she does and definitely has a gift. I highly recommend her.

The first few shots are from the night of the rehearsal.

Looking amazing in black and ready to meet her hubby-to-be.

The first kiss as they meet each other in the hotel lobby.

Sarah and I went back to our hotel room after the rehearsal dinner was over... then we were suddenly visited by two of Sarah's best friends, Wes and Stephen. They decided to be complete goobers and put hair extensions on their head! They were cracking us both up! It was hysterical!

THE BIG DAY...

Becky (Sarah's sister, and past bride I shot) recently traveled to Ethiopia with her husband to adopt this precious baby whom they named Ezra. He is one of the most calm and content babies I have ever seen. I adore him!

The rings. The paper underneath it was the theme for a lot of Sarah's decorations.

The wedding was absolutely beautiful. The bride entered to a choir singing "Kissing You" by Desiree from the movie Romeo and Juliet. It gave me goosebumps!

These two were so obviously made for one another. It was so much fun watching them interact with each other.

And this is where Amy decided to get on stage and sing "Rollin' on the River" by Tina Turner. Priceless!

Yes, that would be a chef's hat on his head!! :)

I was blown away by the band that performed at the reception. MoJeaux (pronounced Mojo) is their name and they could sing any genre of music! Any song you wanted, they knew it and were very good at it!

Thank you Sarah and Steffan for welcoming me to join you on such a beautiful night. I am honored I was able to experience and capture your wedding day. I had an amazing time!
