Just wanted to put the local advertisement up on the blog. We are expecting a good turn out and really want to see everyone! I am soooo excited to finally be able to share the new studio spot with everyone! Hope you can come out! Susan

The Saccaro's

I had the pleasure of photographing the Saccaro family a few weeks ago. What a great group of kids! I had a blast! So many great images to choose from....I thought that I would post a few here on the blog.

Lots of wrapping up here at the studio, and getting ready for our grand opening. We have set the date for October 1st., 2010 from 6 p.m. - 9 p.m. We will have Wine, refreshments, and

hors d' oeuvres'. Plus, we will include some door prizes, special portrait package pre-purchase pricing for our great friends. I'm so excited to see our clients and share our new loft studio with them. I also look to meet new clients from the other side of the river. I love this sweet little main st. and look forward to being here for a long time.

I'm also just returning from the State convention in New Orleans La. I attended the yearly PPLA (Professional Photographers of Louisiana) state convention. I decided to take some images and enter them into the Print Competition. I was so excited to sit in the judging room and listen to the judges critique the entries. I had three prints score very high and were given the award of court honor - received my "corners" But, one in particular image really scored HIGH and the judges loved it! How could they not? It's a precious portrait of a newborn infant in the middle of his slumber on a chair. I have to say I knew when I took it that it was going to be special to not only me, but his parents. One of the judges Mark Gerber, from Ohio gave it the "JUDGES CHOICE" AWARD yippee :) Needless to say, I am going to be attending the Southwest Professional Photographer's Conference in Texas this next month, taking my prints and seeing what they do.....and go from there.....maybe "LOAN" with the Professional Photographer's of America. Who knows? But, I really have enjoyed doing the print competitions and trying to push myself a little more to create timeless and professional pieces of work.

Another thing that the print competition has done, has inspired me to study and take my CPP exam. I plan on becoming a Certified Professional Photographer. With this certified credential, I hope that my clients will have faith that I have continued to study and push myself to provide them with the best professional pieces.

Hope everyone is able to come out to the open house on the 1st of October, and Enjoy the pics of the Saccaro's

Huey P. Long-Stevison

Huey P. Long-Stevison our mix of a pup made his modeling debut a few days ago! It's been a fun summer bringing Madeline to work, but she comes up with new decorating ideas, furniture and prop revamping and thoughts of different photo ops. Huey is our latest Photo Op!

We've had Huey for a while now, and he's definitely a permanent fixture in our family. Even though he throws a wrench into the mix with a poo-poo left in the foot paths way of Joel ~ just to keep him in line! We can't throw him out or take him to the pound! He's our dog. Taking the good with the bad!

We had a great time and really think that one day we will cherish these images more so then than now. Hope you enjoy! and stay tuned.....I'm going to start up with some great deals on portraits with your pets :)

Talon

I had such a great time photographing Talon the other day! It's been about three years since her last modeling portrait session with me! She's changed a lot and grown up to such a pretty young lady! Where does the time go??? Good luck with the singing career Talon and keep smiling! Hope you enjoy!
