Engagement

I have a funny story to tell with these pictures. My afternoon started off pretty slow with D & B. We walked around downtown looking for places to take pictures. We learned that downtown Memphis is actually pretty in the daytime.

Found some places to stop and pose.







Found a really cool archway





Then we stopped by their reception site. Apparently D is a lot shorter than I thought because there was no hopping up there. Check out the look on B's face. We could not stop laughing! Poor D almost broke his arm. And he's a professional drummer. That would not have been a good thing.



We're still laughing



We finally got our composure together a little bit though



Congrats on your upcoming wedding!

The J Family

Just wanted to say thanks to the J family for letting me take your pictures. Your girls are just adorable and so sweet!

Maternity

All I have to say is I love a cute little pregnant chick! Especially one that's not scared to rock some killer high heels and cowboy boots!! :)

My photo shoot with Spiderman

I had two AMAZING photo shoots last weekend. I don't know if it's the perfect weather or what, but I love how both turned out!

Here are a few pictures from my second shoot. Is this kid adorable or what? Don't let the sweet face fool you, he's a mess! :)

He wanted to be Spiderman in every picture...



We finally convinced him that he should be Peter Parker in a few pictures...



This boy loves his Momma!







There's no way I could pick a favorite





Why do boys always end up with the most gorgeous eyelashes?

Engagement

I met this couple downtown on a Friday night and we had a lot of fun walking around taking pictures. How cute are they?

Another little sneak peek

These girls are just too gorgeous. And they were all so very sweet.

Tiny little sneak peek

I just had to post this for my latest family photo shoot. How funny! More to come :)

Big Easy

Last weekend, the family and I drove down to the Big Easy. New Orleans. The kids actually had a great time and are ready to go back! It's probably because we ate a bunch of junk - candy, beignets, fried shrimp, and happy meals. It's definitely time to stock the fridge at home with fruit and veggies!

So here are a few things to do in New Orleans with kids...

Walk the streets of the French Quarter (preferably with Superman)


Walk down the alleys looking for fountains


Find a fountain


Watch the sunrise over Jackson Square


Sit on the steps at Jackson Square and eat beignets




Don't forget to lick your fingers!


Pose for pictures (only one of them will do this for me!)


Find more fountains


Find Nemo at the Aquarium


and a jellyfish


Isn't it ironic? Don'tcha think?


Watch the sunrise over the Mississippi River




Find another fountain


Make a wish


Jump on really big trampolines


And last, but not least, take a tour of the parade float warehouse. This is where they work all year long on the floats for Mardi Gras.


I have to say, New Orleans is one of our favorite cities. We were glad to let our kids experience a little of it. Kiki kept talking about how everybody was crazy.... especially after she saw a man, complete with the hairiest arms ever, in a formal strapless gown and wig on Bourbon street. I can't say I was completely prepared to address that topic!
