Katelann {Senior}

I have known Katey’s family for years, and they are as we say in the South…”good people”.    I must tell you Katelann is quite possibly the most wise and determined teenager I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.  I have read EVERY update on Facebook of Katelann’s and they are profound.  I casually asked Katelann of her plans after graduation, and with such assuredness, she told me she IS going to become a Pediatrician.  It’s mapped out.  Without any hesitation she laid out her steps to be taken.  I have often wished I had such wisdom at such a young age.  Katelann, sweet girl….you impress me.  I wish you the absolute best of luck in your endeavors, but for some reason, I don’t think you will need it. :)  Oh, and in case you had ANY doubt, you are G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S.

Hannah {Senior}

This past weekend was perfect in West Monroe, Louisiana. It was filled with sunshine, breezes, Hannah and her BFF Sara. Hannah is graduating this year from Mount Saint Mary Academy in Little Rock, Arkansas. Hannah is fabulous. She has the most beautiful smile, and the keenest sense of humor. AND, she is one of the most intelligent teenagers I have ever known.  She MAY even be smarter than I at that age!  :)  Hannah will be headed to Ole Miss for college! Hang on Mississippi…a Louisiana chick (Hannah you will ALWAYS be a Louisiana chick) is headed your way!  Best of luck, Hannah!  I love you!  Here a few of my favorites.  Enjoy!

Our first stop…..Starbucks. It’s Hannah’s fave. (and mine too)

Look at those eyes….Beautiful.

Our stop at the Cullen’s cove.

P.R.E.C.I.O.U.S.

And, I will end it with a little Sass.  :)

Spring has SpRuNg!

 For those who know me, I LiVe in linen and flip flops for 3 of 4 seasons.  :)  I am all about comfort, and linen and flip flops are at the top of the comfort spectrum. I absolutely adore this time of year. The grass is waking up from hibernation, and the Bradford Pear trees are in full bloom. They remind me of white fluffy clouds, and they are everywhere! The daffodils are in abundance, and I am smiling. The time changed last night, so I will now have more shooting time. That makes me happy. Sunrise and Sunset….my two favorite times of the day to shoot. My son, Taylor, wanted to take his girlfriend, Eladia, and Mallie downtown this past Friday for a QUICK photo shoot. Eladia is a DOLL! She has the most gorgeous skin, and the sweetest personality! She is a musician, and she aspires to attend The Julliard School. I LoVe her! Well, we ALL love her!

We were literally “mall walking” before the sun finally gave up. Here are a few of my favorites!

My Heart Smiles….

My beautiful daughter, Mallie, and I spent about 30 minutes this afternoon playing around with the camera. Today was absolutely gorgeous and my birthday. Well, because of that….I got my way! :) Mallie is 13.  She is just as beautiful on the inside as she is to my eyes. My favorite is her laugh. It is infectious. Here are a few of my favorites.  I hope you enjoy!

My favorite of the day. ~ Infectious laugh

My first shot…

The King of Our House

Jon Greer

I am a bit overwhelmed by the new addition to my family.  No, the sleeping angel pictured above is not what overwhelms me.  It is my new camera.  The bundle of love in the picture is my nephew, Jon Greer.  I am sure you will get to know him lots and lots over time.:)  Back to the camera report…Truthfully, I have not had a TRUE piece of majesty in my hands in years.  Long ago in a land far away….okay, okay….I was here. In Louisiana. In West Monroe, but regardless I did photography.  So, I said that to say I am not a newbie to the world of photography, but in a way I AM a total newbie.  I shot when everyone used film.  I know, I know, but it wasn’t THAT long ago.  The digital world is all new to me.  a majestic sea of technology ~ a plethora of lots and lots to learn.  I can hardly wait.:) 

much love, c
