Can you feel the love?

Lexi and Troy were fabulous to work with!!! I really liked Lexi's "spunk" for taking pictures. It always helps when the subject is willing to strike a pose. Plus, it is even more important, with these kinds of photos, that the subjects show their love. Sure, I can tell people which poses to get into, or how to turn their heads, or to hold their spouses hand, "kiss her on the cheek", ect... But when you can see that they love each love and can act naturally, then the pictures tend to reflect the true sweet nature of the couple.

***BEHIND THE SCENES***
Even though Lexi and Troy were off in "Bliss" land, behind the scenes was not so "blissful". My dear husband volunteered to watch our little munchin' and Peyton (Troy and Lexi's child). Poor little Peyton was not a happy camper!
PLUS... True love = a husband that will fix his wife's makeup during a photo shoot.

Sneak Peek!

Well, I am not finished editing the photos from this session. But, I just couldn't help it.... here's a sneak peek!

Classic Cars

While leaving Baton Rouge one day, my husband and I stopped at a little car show. All of them were antiques and have been restored. This one is still in the process. However, my favorite things, on some of the cars, were the fancy hood ornaments.
This is what my dear Emily thought of the whole thing...

And the WINNER is.....

Okay, Okay... despite multiple suggestions to cheat the contest drawing, I refused. Despite multiple offers to include plane tickets for out-of-state contestants, I laughed, then refused. (Maybe when the prices of photo sessions increase?!?!) Despite offers for me to travel to places across the USA to take pictures, I had to decline.
So I resorted to write all the contestants names' on a slip of paper. Then I put the names in a brown paper bag, like so. (Who says you need a hat?!?)

Then my handsome sidekick/assistant picked a name from the bag. He looked at the slip of paper. Then I turned away so he couldn't draw another name instead. See how technical and precise we are about this contest? Well, without further adue, my congrats go to.....



(Thanks for emailing all your information. We will be in contact about exact session dates and times!)

****NOTE: I really want to thank everyone who partipated!!! And for those of you that did not get picked... I'm sorry. But hey, look on the bright side.... there is always next month! My goal is to do the contest drawings at the beginning of the month. So stay tunned..... our next contest will be all about those cute little young ones that are hopefully tucked into beds at this late hour. ALSO- these monthly contests are not limited to people I know. So pass the word along!

ONE more day.....
