Farrar Family - sneak peek

I had a blast yesterday out at the park doing a photo session for this precious family and their beloved Sam! They did great! I can't wait to finish editing their photos. Here is a sneak peek:

Okay...I am trying to improve my blog! I think I am getting there, but still have more to learn and do to it! I have two photo sessions this afternoon and can't wait to get there and get busy! It was very FOGGY when I got up at 5:30am this morning and I was watching the weather constantly hoping for the clouds to part and the sun to come out! I got my prayer answered and we have blue skies and sun now! I will post pics as soon as I get them shot and edited!!

iheartfaces - PINK WEEK entry


Here is my entry for iheartfaces.com "Pink Week." I had such a blast photographing this little girl. She has such a cute, spunky spirit (just like her mom). This is just a random shot I took of her as she was playing in her mom's sunglasses. I was letting her take a break and play around before the last part of our session and I got some really cute shots of her during this time!

Wedding pics


Here is a sample of the wedding pictures from this weekend. I tagged along with Toni to a wedding in Creekwood Gardens. It was a beautiful setting, but hard to get around quickly to get good shots! And, I was having lighting issues with my camera and flash. I am ready for my new camera and equipment to get here so I can start learning more!!

Jenkins' Photo Shoot

I got to take pictures of the beautiful children of a high school friend on Saturday. We were blessed with glorious sunshine and blue skies after two weeks of what seemed like constant RAIN! A couple of my favorite shots are below.

iheartfaces - BACK TO SCHOOL entry


Well, my youngest son started Pre-K today. It is bittersweet for me, but as you can tell by his "H-A-P-P-Y" face, he was excited to go! I barely had time to snap a few pictures of him because he was so ready to go to school. Today was "Bring your favorite teddy bear" day too, so he wanted to show off his bear named Beary. Pretty creative name, huh? ; )

Fix It Friday September 4th

This is the original photo for Fix It Friday at iheartfaces.com. He is such a cute little guy! In my edited picture below, I first of all brightened the picture quite a bit. This brought out all the noise so I did a "noise reduction" after that. I then decided to "bloom" it a little which brightened it up even more! Next, I deepened it and altered the contrast a bit. I sharpened it, added Vignetting on opposite corners and a little around the edges, and framed it in black to get the final product.

iheartfaces -"Nostalgia" entry


This week's theme for the iheartfaces.com photo contest is "Nostalgia." I picked this picture of my son playing at the pond as my entry. He was so cute that day just running around, skipping rocks across the pond, chasing his brother, climbing dirt mounds, and picking flowers (weeds) for me! This reminded me of when I was younger and used to spend a lot of time out in the pasture, by the pond, or down by the creek at my friend's parent's dairy farm. We had such great times out there. Yes, we were girls, but that didn't matter....we were getting dirty and making memories to last a lifetime! I wish I had pictures of those days to look back on now.

About Me

My photo
Ruston, Louisiana, United States
Hi and welcome to my blog. I have always loved to take pictures to document the special times in my life...high school times, college times, dating moments, wedding bliss, babies, and life in general! Then, two years ago, my husband gave me a Nikon D40 for Christmas and my love grew even more! I started learning on my own and used my family as my models. I took a leap of faith and went into business to do photo shoots for different family members and friends. I am absolutely in heaven when I am shooting and editing photos. I just upgraded to a new camera and love getting used to it! I learn new tricks and techniques daily and can't wait to try them out on willing clients! My other part-time job is coaching girls' basketball. I love this job too and feel right at home in the gym! I am truly blessed to be able to do two jobs that are absolutely fulfilling and exciting for me! I am also blessed to be a wife to the most caring, understanding, and giving husband a woman could ask for and a mom to the most precious, loving, beautiful boys in the world! I couldn't do the things I love to do without the love and support of my family!
