It seems that in New Orleans a citrus tree grows every 30 feet.  T and I went picking the other day and along the way I discovered how much I love shooting in harsh light.  All shot with Canon 1dx at 35mm.  

I've gotten really behind on blogging, and I promise to catch up soon, but in the meantime...

Even though I have to really push myself to make the time to take them, I'm always so grateful for photographs of my three favorite people.  We walked through New Orleans' beautiful City Park the other afternoon.  The kids played their hearts out in the 70* Louisiana December air, and I shot. I didn't direct, I just took photos and tried to capture some of the things that I love the most about these guys.  Messy hair and dirty, these are some of my favorite images.  I'm so thankful that I picked up a camera eight years ago, and actually learned how to use it.  These were all shot using my Canon 1dx and my 35mm 1.4.

I love shooting my little ones, but sometimes it's so awesome to photograph older kids.  I had a blast running around Natchez with Talor and his sweet mom the other day.  The afternoon couldn't have been more beautiful, and hanging out with these two felt like riding around with old friends.  Talor was so patient and polite, even though I'm sure most teenagers would want to be doing anything but taking senior photos on an afternoon off - he was awesome. I also loved that he wanted to pose in his favorite hunting gear knowing how much he loves to hunt.  Senior shoots are one of my favorite types of sessions, and I can't wait to book more! Thanks again, Amy and Talor!
