I have been photographing Laurie's two daughters, Christina and Madeline for the last 4 years every summer. I am having so much fun doing this for her and seeing the two kids growing up - getting older year after year!

I love how these came out.

soho gets to meet so many people who come through my life for photos! :)

Kids Everywhere

08.13.09

It's definitely been tons and tons of kiddos around me these days for photo sessions. I can't believe how much I've gotten to be so comfortable around babies, kids, spit up, and even smelly diapers (well, the diapers - I'm working on...... ) in the last few years. I am actually enjoying all the ups and downs of children sessions - you can't predict their moods, you can't say to smile on the dot and expect a REAL natural smile, some babies have colic, some are just plain NOT in the mood for photos, some are "finished" after 30 minutes of feeling fake.....

All that - it's SO fun! It's like a science experiment and I'm the research dude. I'm the big guy figuring out how to make it "all come together" for some delicious photos for my clients to enjoy.

In no relation to the comments made above - I had so much fun with these two separate sessions with a set of bro/sis - sis/bro. It was cool because these are two separate families, nobody knows each other, and whatnot but I get to see a similar "love" that the older sibling shows towards his/her new sibling (both were newborns!).

I love my job.

Here's a preview of Nora and her new brother, Carter!

And how here's Lil Clint with his newborn sister, Charli!

Here's a rare shot of me with a client's kid! I actually thought to do it at this moment. I should make a habit of taking a snap of me with all these cool kids I shoot.

Tomorrow, I'm leaving for Jackson/Clinton, Mississippi for the weekend. I have two senior portrait sessions on Saturday along with two more in the afternoon, then one very EARLY session on Sunday morning - then we're zooming back (Sarah (the wife) and Whitney and her two girls are joining me for the ride/stay to the PARKERS!) for me to get back in time for a mama/kiddo session that late afternoon here at home!

My work never seems to end. It's definitely a fortunate place I find myself in - but man, I am SO behind on editing. It's so hard to force myself and I just don't want clients to get half assed edits..... Tomorrow, I am gonna get up EARLY and do some more editing!!!!!! Today was kind of a "wasted" day but not really... just "life errands" plus a fun sushi dinner with Jodi James.

You all have a great weekend!!!!!!!!!

AUSTIN SESSIONS

08.09.09

THANK YOU to all who had me do some sessions over the last few days while I was in Austin. It was tons of fun getting to do them - and especially around such a cool town like Austin. People have asked me, "why don't you move to Austin???" As much as I love Austin, I still have more love for my homestate - Louisiana. Austin is my "escape" when I need to head out somewhere that's still "closeby" and with so many friends moving there from allover the states - there's only MORE reason to go visit!!!!

Check out these shots from my sessions AND the last three are just random shots I took around the Taco Xpress restaurant on South Lamar.

Here's some of the Taco Xpress shots....

Austin, thanks for a great time and I look forward to my next visit already!!!!

Hello I am a friend of Carletta from St. Petersburg, FL. She invited me to look at the picture that you took of her and Seth. Well that just peaked my interested so I began looking at the others that are on the site. The only thing I can say is WOW! You have such an amazing talent (which I am sure you are told often) but not only that it seems that each one shows the love of life you seem to have. I am truely in awe of the talent that God has given you! and Yes you are one lucky man to be able to have a job that you LOVE!! I can't wait to see all of the picts of Carletta and Seth!

CONNER

08.04.09

Kim brought over her six year old dude, Conner, for a session at Maison Looziana and we had a ball. He is FULL of energy and his personality just shines. He reminded me of myself as a child, even doing the "McDonald's Drive Thru" act via the window in the old shack behind our home. I used to do the exact same thing with the window under my parents drive in carport growing up! SO MUCH FUN.

Thank you Kim! I got tons of great stuff of Conner, but here's a preview for you/y'all to check out!
