August in a Nutshell


I just wanted to report that we are still here...just a bit lackadaisical. But, that happens when summer was a blast and it passed too quickly!

For starters, the beginning of August started with the state convention in New Orleans, for the Professional Photographers of Louisiana. I joined many friends for a star-studded evening, print competition, and education from out of state speakers. Then off to Missouri for a short vacation with my family, and back to Louisiana to get my daughter and husband ready for the 2012 school year.  I also was asked by the American Cancer Society to photograph their Boots & Bow ties Fundraiser and I donated a portrait session fee and wall portrait to their live auction!  Looking forward to that....I'll post a few pics from their event here in the next day or so.

In the next couple of weeks, we will announce some early family portrait session specials....for the Mom's that are less procrastinating than ME! We will get the family portraits done and cards ready before you can say St. Nick!

Our H.S. Sr. portrait sessions began about a month ago....having seniors coming in from Monroe, at that. We will be looking for a few select Sr. reps this year.

Santa Portraits will be here in November. LSU Santa will arrive on Friday, November 18th and he will stay over until November 19th. with his traditional theme. This will be our third year! We will offer some extra special packages for this promotion and 100% of your session fee will be donated to the St. Jude Organization!!!!

Last week I had a great time getting to know Meredith better. Her father inquired about having a formal portrait of her taken, before she moves on to another chapter in her life, college. I could have photographed her for hours at their home! I've posted a slide show and some individual images from her session to this blog and
Face book. If you aren't a friend of the studio....become one and stay in touch with us and see who visits us. Good luck at college Meredith and thanks for allowing me to photograph you!
