The Snider's





















Candy is a great friend of mine. We help each other out where we can . She helps me so much. If she has a piece of furniture I could use for a session she will let me borrow it. She also will help me with my house. For example, this year she did my front door for Christmas.
( I stink at decorating and she is awesome at it). So when it comes time for pictures, I gladly do them for her when she needs them. ( Not that I would ever charge her anyway, I do not charge my dearest friends).
We had a session the other day for her Christmas pictures. It took us over a hour because I had to spend so much time working around the harsh sun. Sometimes sessions take time to get it right. I always feel it is worth it when you see the final product. I do NOT like to rush a session!! I like to work on the poses and try to make sure I avoid harsh lighting when I can. I really love the way their pictures came out . They are a great family. A total blast to me around. They are so much fun and so laid back.

Stacy's babies








































My friend Stacy came over and we did her kids Christmas pictures . She and I both did them so I have no idea if which one of us took these two pictures. I just think they are incredible moments of her precious children's expressions. Truly priceless!!!

The Ardoin's



































































I did a session for a old friend of mine from 5th grade. It was their family Christmas session. The wind was at least 20mph. We had to do the session on the front porch and in front of the shutters. It was so funny!! At one point my skirt flew all the way up. Thank God only Laurie saw. (I hope no one eles did anyway, lol). I was not able to put them on the ground or get real creative because of the wind. I truly love these pictures anyway.
This was the second time recently I did a session for a old friend. When I met Laurie we were 10 and 11 years old. In fact, we were so close of friends growing up that she was my maid of honor in my wedding 12 years ago. Her little girl looks so much like Laurie I could not believe it. It was great to see her. Within minutes of being around her it was like 25 years ago to me. They are a wonderful family. I wish them the very best.

The portrait session of Chas & Clair







































Today I took some pictures for a old friend of mine. I met my friend Jill 25 years ago. She was in my wedding 11 years ago. We lost touch over the years. I saw her at my nieces graduation in May this year. To make a long story short she is now my sons 1st grade teacher. (I am thrilled about that). Jill is truly a wonderful person. She is so kind and I think it is such a blessing to have her in my sons life. It was so amazing to me that 25 years after we met I was taking pictures of her children and she is teaching my son. I was only 11 years old when I moved to Louisiana and Jill's was a true friend from the very start.
Here are a few of my favorites from the session. They were so awesome to photograph. Her son could truly go into modeling. It was totally natural to him. They are both beautiful children!!!!
