Peyton Thomas was born August 31st at 3:37pm, 8lb 9oz, and 21inches.  He is such a cute kid!  I was able to share in a few moments with Erin, Josh, and Peyton yesterday morning hearing all of the stories and excitements of their first born.  I am so happy for these guys.  I snapped a few shots and wanted to share a few of my favorites.

Enjoy!

Yesterday was such an exciting day!  At 12:55pm Magdalene Marie was born 8lbs 11.4oz at 22in long.  It was so great to be able to spend a bit of time in Baton Rouge with my sister Lauren and her husband Jason as they shared the first day of Magdalene’s life with us.  I am truly at a loss of words to share so I’m going to cut straight to the images.

Enjoy!

I was soooo pumped yesterday to be able to go over and visit Blake and Erin Cuccio along with their new little addition.  At 1:25am yesterday morning they welcomed Vaughn Anthony Cuccio.  Vaughn is such a beautiful baby!  He was so alert you would never know it was his first day.  Blake and Erin are amazing friends of mine and I know that their lives are going to continue to get better and better as they watch this little boy grow.  They were kind enough to let me take a ton of pictures.  Vaughn was having his first little photo shoot and he did such a great job at it!  Anyway… I just wanted to share a few of my favorites from yesterday.

Enjoy!

James Charles has officially ROCKED his first year in school.  Don’t forget about those first day of school pics!  Pre-K is officially over and was a huge success.  We will definitely miss the teachers he had this year, but I’m sure we will have great ones next year as well.  I just wanted to share an image I took of him this past year in front of an amazing truck full of hood ornaments. Great job James Charles!  Here’s to Summer!!!

Last week I had a really fun shoot with the Meaux family.  These guys love family.  They without a doubt enjoy each other.  One of my favorite parts of the session was at the very beginning when Jason pulled out an ice cold beer for me to try.  Little did I know it was La 31 beer from Bayou Teche Brewing.  I had just a few days before launched their new website as a collaborator with Crucé.  I shared with him that I recently did a shoot for those guys and was stoked to shoot over beers.  I just wanted to share a few of my personal favorites from that day.

Enjoy!

I had the opportunity today to visit some very close friends of mine John Ray and Alesha Perkins.  This visit was a bit different than some because I had the opportunity to meet the newest memeber of their little family Cecilia Elizabeth!  She is such a beautiful little girl.  I wanted to share a few images from my visit.  You can read up on Cecilia, Jay and the Perkins family on John Ray’s blog HERE.

Enjoy!

The other day I was playing around with lights and just doing some test setups.  I decided to text Rebecca and tell her that I have taken over the kitchen and be prepared for it when she got home from work.  Needless to say you couldn’t really walk through the house because of my monstrosity of a setup in the kitchen.  When they got home I wanted to take a few family portraits from a different perspective as opposed to the ones you see everyday.  Well… Here is what I ended up with.  Enjoy!

I just wanted to throw up a few images that James Charles took the other day.  I have to say that I was pretty impressed with my 4 year old and his skill of shooting a D3 at 1.4.  Not to shabby!

Make sure to give him some props!

On our way back from the beach this summer we stopped off in Baton Rouge for a little treat. In all honesty it didn’t go all too well. James Charles actually puked all over the floor and all over the bathroom. Fortunately I was able to grab a couple of fun shots before I had to carry him away spraying down the place ;) My little man! The things you do for your kids!
