J.P. Pruitt

Just another chilly day in the studio (warehouse)....I can't believe that I am saying this, but I am looking forward to the summer? Summers are hot here...but, it's easier to cool down this studio than warm it up! I'm hanging in there with my little heaters scattered throughout the studio and bundled in my long heavy sweater.

Today I met a real estate agent: JP Pruitt! What a neat and fun lady. Automatically, we hit it off! Chatted and chatted, and if any of you know me....you know I can chat! I love talking about my family and my wonderful husband and his mission that he has at being a great teacher and instrument in his Jr. high kids lives. But, we also chatted about how JP has been in the real estate business for over 25 years! She was in Kentucky, Texas and now Louisiana! She moved to Louisiana in 1989 (same time I moved here too). I love Louisiana and it's my HOME...just like with JP! She also brought a friend with her today; Rose Mary. She was fun to chat with too. We both have elementary school age children. That was fun chatting about how our little one thinks he/she are already little adults!

JP can be found at Noles-Frye Real estate in Alexandria....if you are looking to buy or sell a home. Give her a call! She'll treat you like an old friend and guide you in the right direction:

Mardi Gras 2011

It's that time of year, and we are in the middle of the Mardi Gras Season! I've had so many FUN Mardi Gras in Louisiana! I've been here over 20 years, and I've never missed one! I've photographed Mardi Gras in Lafayette, while in College at U.L. working for the Vermilion newspaper. I then hit the country-side to photograph Mardi Gras "Old Style" for the Daily World newspaper, in Mamou, Opelousas, Churchpoint, Washington and Eunice! I was able to photograph many Lafayette Mardi Gras and the festivities, but I was privledged to photograph some Mardi Gras Queens this year! It's been hard for me to keep it quiet! If you know me...it's hard for me to keep a secret let alonge QUIET : ) LOL. So, the cat's out of the bag and I get to show off ONE OF THE QUEENS today. I'll show the other off in a few days. But, today I am showing off some great pictures of my friend and fellow Junior Leaguer; Sunny Gulley-Queen Mariposa XI. She and her husband had some fun (and so did I) I love these fun pictures, Congratulations and have a fun and fabulous Mardi Gras season! Hope you Enjoy Sunny!
