I know Natalie has been anxious to see this since I teased her with one image a few days ago....so the "full take" button at the end of the show probably won't be live until sometime tomorrow. Enjoy!! :)

Alex's Birthday Weekend
This past weekend we brought Doug's little cousin from Houma to New Orleans to spend the weekend with us for her 13th birthday. We had such a great time with her, and we went non-stop. Oh to have that kind of energy again! :) Saturday we took her to the aquarium and the imax - both of which she had never been to before. Saturday night we watched "17 Again" (which I must admit Zac Efron is quite the cutie!) while stuffing our faces with pizza. After, we had cake, and then she wanted to watch the movie again. Sunday we started the day with beignets at Cafe du Monde at the Riverwalk. Then it was off to the insectarium, streetcar ride to Camellia Grill, and finally snowballs at Hansen's(which are only the most amazing in the world! click to check out the history behind the snowball stand). Whew! It was a lot of fun to see her experience some of these for the first time. And it is great to spend time with the "little" ones because it reminds you to be silly, not to take life for granted, and to explore your back yard in a way you may not be used to doing.

Red Dress Run - Saturday August 8th
What a fun, albeit a little weird, day!! Last year for this event, I was sick -- and I had a wedding to shoot that day. So while everyone was on our rooftop having breakfast "pre-run", I was in bed ensuring that I would make it through the day. This year though, I was able to see everyone, and participate. The New Orleans Hash House Harriers puts on the Red Dress Runevery year. They are a group who's motto is "A running club with a drinking problem." You can imagine based on this, that not too many people are actually running, especially in New Orleans heat mid August. (This year there were 5,500 paying participants.)
We started the morning by hosting breakfast on our rooftop again before the run started. And of course...we took a few pictures before heading out that I want to share with you. You see, we don't normally get to participate in many weekend events because many of our weekends are tied up with photographing our wonderful clients. So when we do get to participate, I think we enjoy it more than anyone else. It's kinda like a kid in a candy store. :)
Like Mardi Gras, we are now looking forward to White Linen Night, and Red Dress Run 2010. Next year Red Dress will be on August 14th -- I hope to see some of you on the rooftop for breakfast, but don't forget the red dress!! :)

Second Encounter
Oddly enough...not long after my first encounter of running into my other brides at another wedding, I ran into another one of my upcoming brides at Natalie and Brian's wedding. Frannie and Doug's wedding will take place this November. We did their engagement shoot in downtown Morgan City (it's also posted on the blog). And this image is also Natalie's first sneak peek of any of the images from the wedding day. I love this image of her and Brian though -- they look wonderful. And Natalie was absolutely stunning!! :)
Past, Present and Future
This has been a post that I have wanted to get to since June....I'm a bit backlogged. At Celeste and Brody's wedding I ran into a previous bride and an upcoming bride. Erica and Scott were one of my first Louisiana couples, and they have remained supporters of my work ever since. They are actually the reason that I booked Celeste and Brody, because Celeste and Brody were in Erica and Scott's wedding. And now, Erica and Scott were in Celeste and Brody's wedding. This November I will photograph Allie and Derek's wedding -- Derek is Brody's brother. Does this feel like the six degrees of separation yet? :)
It was very exciting for me to have all of them in the same place at once. It's neat to run into one couple, but two was double the fun. Erica and Celeste have been two of my most trusting brides of my abilities right from the start, and I do believe that was reflective of the pictures they had when all was said and done. I am also lucky enough to consider them as friends now too. Thank you both for everything.....and Allie -- I look forward to capturing your wedding too!
Erica and Scott
Meet Jen and Chris!
Wow! We had such a hot morning for this shoot -- the temperature was supposed to be near 100 degrees. I think we all felt like it was that and then some! But, Jen and Chris were great despite the heat, and they have some fun pictures as a result.
