So this is what I've been working on all morning. Chicken and sausage gumbo. I grew up in south Louisiana, about an hour south of New Orleans to be specific (yes there is something south of New Orleans). Yes way down on the bayou. That's what we called it, The Bayou. If you were going north, you were going 'up da bayou' and if you were going south, you were going 'down da bayou'. That was directions everyone gave.

Recently I had the honor of photographing my cousin Leslie on her and Kevin's big day! It was so good to see family and friends that I rarely get to see. Basically only when I go down to visit.

Also, I had the fun experience of shooting with facebook friend Penny Cantu, owner and photographer of Joie De Vi Photography located in Larose. Many of these beautiful images came from her creative eye. Enjoy! Leslie getting her toes done! Amy working her magic on everybody's hair! The ladies gotta look good for such a big day! Jordan getting transformed into a princess. Now she's the princess! Looks just like her brother! Aww, showing some love! Silly girls! a gorgeous dress a beautiful bouquet momma helping Leslie get dressed. so sweet. Two ornery boys. time out. absolutely beautiful! ...
