Today while leaving church I quickly grabbed a few frames of this beautiful little girl who was MORE than willing to pose/model for me

To ALL my 2009 Clients, a HUGE Thank You for helping create some Memorable Moments and for participating in some very fun sessions!!!

Erin contacted me after seeing a photo I had taken of Tabatha & Ian laying in the grass looking at one another. Little did she know that the photo she saw was an excerpt of a “Puppy Session”. She continued to tell me she wanted to take pics similar to their photo for her upcoming celebration of her and Scott being together for 3 years. I responded to her to let her know I prefer to photograph children and that I don’t have a portfolio of such photos to show her, but that the idea did spark an interest. We arranged for a Meet-n-Greet and after meeting them both and discussing creative ideas and various locations I KNEW I wanted to take on this project. Both sessions with them were extremely fun and went very well as I continued my ‘OneLight’ method of creating dramatic compositions. One thing I’ll never ever forget for the rest of my photo adventure is Erin Critiquing the amount of space between her fingers in various photos…Now that’s a young woman who knows what she wants in a Finished Product!!!! Again…. Thank You Erin & Scott for taking a risk on an unknown Photographer after just seeing ONE photo
Oh yea….one more thing….Erin, I’m still not sure whether to love you or hate you for ALL the ‘Friends Requests’ I’m now getting from your session…LOL!

This is officially my first Engagement Photo Session (e-session) and I couldn’t be happier with both Brittany & Justin and the experience as a whole. I met with Brittany to discuss her relationship and of course the type of photo session she had in mind, which she definitely wanted the French Quarter theme. HUGE Challenge for me since most people know I Love photographing children and have never tried a session with the French Quarter as a theme. Immediately we agreed it would be best to capture such a session without all the normal tourist activity in the backgrounds, which meant a VERY EARLY session. The morning was beautiful and we couldn’t have asked for better cloud cover to extend our session by an hour. One thing for sure is that…Public Display of Affection (PDA) is NOT an issue with these to Love Birds. Tell them Kissy…Kissy… and they would turn it on instantly

Special thanks to my assistant Chona (her sarcasm is PRICELESS) and to fellow photo buddy Ken for their continued support and of course a HUGE Thanks and Congrats to Brittany and Justin for selecting me to record this special time of their lives!
