I thought I would share our results from the Senior Portrait Artist Awards!
The competition was held last month in Tucson, Arizona and included entries from some of the country's top senior photographers...
so I was *thrilled* to find out that my collage of High School Senior, Kyle, won the "Top Ten" senior boys award. We actually landed spot number 6 in the line-up...not bad! :)
Kyle. Senior 2007
So are they cute or what?
If they look a little familiar, its because almost a year ago we had their 5 month session and now here they are nearly a year and a half old - how time flies!!! We had a great time with the twins and mom and dad hanging out at a park downtown and then heading home for some down time. We had LOTS of photo ops since we were doing the "slice of life" package. I honestly don't know how any decisions are going to be made here on which photos to choose...good thing an album is included!
So here they are, two of the sweetest boys you'll ever meet...
jack & joel. 16 months.
Okay, I'm backtracking a little bit here...but I wanted to share some pics from my trip to New Orleans last weekend. By the way, I appreciate all the birthday wishes emailed to me! :)
I had a great time and it was soooo great to chill out and eat great food. Of course, no trip to NO is complete without a stop at Pat O'Briens for a hurricane! There were no celebrity sightings...but spending a day at Belladonna spa, I felt like one. Anyway, it was a very relaxing trip but the french quarter was a little crazy so we ended up spending most of our time in the Garden District and on Magazine Street. Where I had the best slice of pizza in my life. I know, pizza in NO? Trust me, it was wunderfull! But I did get my cajun food fix and even brought home some frozen seafood gumbo and crawfish enchiladas...yum!
Speaking of food, my favorite restaurant...Uglesich's (think fried green tomatoes in a shrimp remoulade sauce and a bowl of oyster brie soup, mmmm) was closed. :( I'm assuming from hurricane damage. Most areas looked totally recovered but there were a few pockets where the old homes were totally gone and brand new condos were in their place. It's strange that in 2004 I actually photographed several homes in that area that are now replaced with shiny new square buildings.
Here's one home that is still standing, yet severely damaged. I could practically hear its walls talking. Heartbreaking.
But the city's really making a comeback and is as beautiful as ever. Geaux New Orleans! <the local's new motto>
Here's an example of a gorgeous home in the Garden District...
love the old architecture...
St. Louis Cathedral..
the french quarter at night...it was still early!
And couple of shots from the famous Lafayette Cemetery No. 1. Anne Rice used this cemetery in a lot of her novels...
a trip to the flea market provided interesting artifacts to photograph...
and we'll end the little photo tour with the symbol that represents New Orleans, the fleur-de-lis...with a little left-over Mardi-Gras. :)
Check out the new baby boy! This cutie pie was such an easy baby...he slept through the whole session making my job simple. We took photos just weeks ago of mommy's pregnant belly and his big sis Lena. And now he's here!
miles austin. one week old.
This little sweetie just celebrated her first birthday and her parents wanted photos to document this special time in her life. She is the baby girl of the family with two older brothers...and I'm sure spoiled rotten! :)
We looked through books and played with her toys and had several rounds of peek-a-boo. She was a very good little model through the whole shoot...then she was ready for lunch...which means the photo shoot was a wrap!
Now, here's Lindsey.
I took this cutie's pictures only 2 days before she and her mommy were moving to Australia to join daddy there. So we took lots of photos of her and with her grandparents too (who I know will be missing her!).
Amber, I know you're in Australia now...I hope you had a safe trip!
Here's your sneak peek- :)
