Happy birthday, Carter!

After 2 miscarriages and a VERY difficult pregnancy, my sister, Ellie, and her husband, Ryan, welcomed sweet baby Carter into their family.  He was the answer to so many prayers!  Ellie asked me if I would take some newborn pictures of their new little man... and he is just, well, perfect.  We also squeezed in some big sister/little brother time. Welcome to the family little buddy!  I already love you more than you'll ever know!

Farrar Reception

Ann & Nick had an awesome destination wedding in the Grand Caymans last week.  When they returned, they threw a reception for all of us who were too broke to attend the wedding!  :)  Despite being sick with both bronchitis and laryngitis... I beat the odds for a few hours to take pictures.  I didn't have too many with actually people in them... but the decor and food were phenomenal!  Congrats to the Farrars!

Water Fountain Fun

I went to Baton Rouge this past weekend to give my expecting sister a baby shower!  Ava and I had a little big sister fun in the water fountains in front of Ellie's work building.  She is a hoot!  My favorite is the last one in which she is trying to "eat the water."

The Generoso Pups

Since Ken and I do not have any human babies... our puppies are our children.  Penelope, a Boston terrier, was a Sims long before she was a Generoso!  She is a little over five years old... and I have had her since she could fit in the palm of my hand!  We adopted our newest addition, Scout, a few months ago from the animal shelter.  She is a "wire hair terrier" and something else!  We LOVE our little family of 4!  P.S. We do not condone nor support animal cruelty or fighting... but our girls sure do love to wrestle!  I love Scout's teeth in the last one.  :)

Landscapes

This is where I got my start.  Before photographing people... the Nikon took tons of pictures of landscapes.  You can see here my obsession with the bald cypress tree.  :)

Ann

Can we say nervous?  I was completely overwhelmed when Ann asked me months ago to take her bridal portraits!  What a beautiful day, bride, and pictures!  We even brought Ann's sweet Gracie along for pictures.  What a photogenic pup!

Aves

This is my niece, Ava.  I was so lucky to get to attend one of her t-ball and soccer games (on 2 different occasions) in Baton Rouge.  She is quite an athlete and absolute mess...

Kelly & Shannon

Kelly and Shannon were my first shoot for non-family members.  I went to elementary school with Kelly, she was impressed with my work, and asked if I would take their engagements.  Flattered and nervous, Kelly, Shannon, and I had a blast!  I just love the way he looks at her... :)

Sam & Amelia

Here is my darling niece and nephew.  Amelia pretty much thinks her big brother is the cat's meow.  I agree.  :)

Sweet Baby Ada Jane

My precious friend, Heather, has given me the opportunity to really move forward with my photography.  Here are just a few of MANY pics of sweet baby Ada Jane.  :)
