I’m still out of town from evacuating.  Our family went to stay with in-laws in Charlotte, North Carolina and while my son and I are back in New Orleans, my husband had to fly out to Mexico today, so I’ll be staying with my parent’s in New Orleans for a few more days.  I will be back in Morgan City on Wednesday but as far as Hurricane Ike is concerned, I may be leaving again on Thursday (don’t you hate hurricane season??)

For those of you with recent galleries and orders to place, I will extend your early ordering discount once the thread of the hurricanes have passed.  I will not be placing any orders until we know what Ike is going to do because I don’t want them delivered while we may not be home.  For those who have yet to pick up orders, I have them with me and will be available on Wednesday if you’d like to pick them up at that time.  I will be emailing or calling you to make arrangements for deliver or pick up.  Those of you waiting to schedule sessions, we will also hold off on those until this threat passes.

If Ike makes the turns we need him to take and no evacuation is needed, I expect to be back and fully operational by this Friday, September 12.

I hope everyone is doing well after Gustav and I wish you all the best with Ike!

I just wanted to update everyone as to what will be going on with my family and I over the next few days for anyone wanting to book appointments, pick up or order photos.  I will be in Morgan City for most of the day tomorrow, so if there is an order that you would like to pick up, you can do so at that time.  We’ll be leaving the city tomorrow evening and heading whichever direction seems safest.  I will be reachable by cell phone and likely will have internet access, but will not be placing any orders or booking new appointments until at least Wednesday of next week.

I hope you and all of your family members stay safe and I’ll update in a few days!

My final Fresh Face model and she knew what she was doing!  Miss Harleigh had her own ideas for posing and she had some attitude to go with it!  I had a great time and it was great meeting you and your mom!  Enjoy the photos!

Brittany is another of my Senior reps and we just completed her summer mini-session.  It was another perfect weather day, the wind working with us in most cases!  I still have to get some rep cards designed for her, but I wanted to put up the sneak peek so they could see them!

Hayden is the son of an old high school aquaintance, who happens to be just 2 months older than my own Hayden.  I met up with him and his parents while visiting the Northshore last weekend and was able to take some three year old shots of him.  He was so cute and talkative and had the cutest little smile!

This is my newest cousin, teeny little 5lb 12oz Halle.  She was born last Tuesday and was only 4 days old when I got to photograph her.  She did pretty well, sleeping almost the whole time and only fussing when I starting to take her onesie off.  Enjoy the sweetness!

The standout mounted storyboards are a great way to showcase your custom storyboards.  They are 3/4″ thick and feature a hard, black plastic edge and finished back with holes for mounting.  They are also thick enough to be free standing on a shelf or mantle.  The standout mounted storyboards are lightweight, but very sturdy.  Any storyboard sized 11×14 or larger can be standout mounted for an additional $50.00.

I’ve finally gotten around to ordering a gallery wrapped canvas and I have to say, I LOVE it and I think I’m hooked!  I want these all over my house!

This is a 16×20 canvas of my son.  A similar sized canvas would be $275.00.  The rest of the prices are listed below.  The size groups will allow you to choose a size that would best work with your photo to avoid awkward cropping as well as to best suite your needs.  Each canvas comes gallery-wrapped with finished backs and hanging hardware.  Please allow up to 3 weeks for delivery.

Small canvas (16×16, 16×20) - $275
Medium canvas (16×24, 20×20, 20×24) - $375
Large canvas (20×30, 24×24, 24×30) - $475

I just wanted to thank everyone who has contacted me regarding my Fresh Faces and Senior Rep campaigns.  I’ve now filled all available spots for both promotions, so thanks to all who were interested!  I’m currently out of town until the end of the week, but have several sessions coming up, so the blog will be busy!  I’m also working out some details for my holiday promotions and schedule.  I plan to start scheduling holiday sessions sometime next month (September) so be sure to keep an eye on the blog so that you can be one of the first to sign up!

These two precious brothers just moved here less than a week ago.  I was so excited to take some pictures of them!  You could just tell how much they loved each other and were both so much fun.  Blake, the older brother, told me some great knock knock jokes and Leo was just full of smiles, both of them were too cute!
