I get pretty excited about Halloween each year and this one is no different. It seems as though no one else around here enjoys this holiday like I do since we're the only ones with any decorations. On that note, did you see the article where the adoption agencies banned the adoption of black cats? The article was on the Yahoo home page a day or so ago and I found it quite sad that anyone would actually adopt an animal just to mistreat it. If any of you have a black cat, be very careful and make sure your pets stay indoors!

Here's a glimpse of what trick-or-treating looks like around here in my neck of the woods!

I had to leave this post for a minute because I just got my first group of ghouls at the door! I forgot to start my ghostly music, but it's playing now and I can't wait for the next group to show up. The CD is awsome- it has the theme songs from Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elmstreet, Jaws, Halloween, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and many others.

I have been awake for hours on end trying to get this design just right. If you could imagine having two photographers covering your event will double the final image count! I talked about this couple on two seperate occasions and now the album design is finally ready for viewing!
After I had the opportunity to really view all the images from the wedding, I was that much more exicited about being the photographer for such a wonderful couple. As the day unfolded, you could really see through the camera's eyes just how happy this couple really was. They looked as they were just married or something

It's a funny thing how coincidence is sometimes. I was just thinking of a more efficient way to offer the vast selection of albums to all of you when I got this email. It was yet another solicitation from an album company to market their albums. I have come up with the best choice for everyone. What I will do is let you choose! Have you ever been given the option of selecting what album vendor you would like? It's all about having choices and options with us.

You can visit each of these companies' websites to look at them more closely. You can click on the following links to view their sites. Art Leather, Asuka Book, Capri Albums, Renaissannce, ZookBinders. I think the best thing to do is create a poll for your responses and let you know what the results are. You can help me to help you by voting right here on this entry. Simply click on the comment link and let us know what you think!

I hope you all have stayed tuned because here is the first sneak peek at that wonderful wedding from this past weekend. As I was finally able to view the images from the reception location, I was really able to see just how grand Gallier Hall really is. I must say that this place is HUGE! It has some historical meaning as well and it was a lot of fun to be able to take advantage of such a beautiful location. Beautiful weather along with the signature New Orleans brass band to compliment the reception, and a great crowd equaled to be an awesome time :)

If you're following the results of this wedding, hold on until the middle of next week when the album is published. Be sure to check back as the link to this album will be posted right here!

This weekend's wedding was a classic! Before I got to the dressing location, though, it took a phone call to Erin's family to realize exactly where I was. If you haven't been to New Orleans East, you may not understand. Most street signs were still down from Hurricane Katrina which made navigating a little hard, but once I got to my destination, we were all set to go!
I met with Erin before the ceremony as we began coverage for the day. She made such a beautiful bride and the ladies in the wedding party were all so energetic! When we made it to the ceremony, I was surprised to see my Godmother whom I haven't seen in years!! As it turned out, she was a speaker at the wedding! I was at complete awe on this day and this is why photographing weddings continues to be one of the most rewarding things I have found.
Stay posted as I will post images from this wedding really soon!

I'm at my pc, as normal, and I'm creating this newly designed blog. I am so excited about the whole blog idea that my thoughts seem to run into each other. It's 12:49am and I have a long day ahead of me in the morning. It will begin at 7am when I get on the road to New Orleans and when I arrive, I have a wonderful couple that I will meet at one of New Orleans' most popular photographic locations - City Park. Once that engagement is complete, it doesn't end there. It's on to a wedding where I'm onsite at 4:30. This wedding is expected to go into the evening until 11pm or so when I will then attempt to make the 3 hour drive back to Jackson.

How does everyone like the new look? When I get caught up with everything, I can't wait to post pics of my new puppy! He's 4 months old at a whopping 41 pounds! This puppy is going to be a monster in a couple of months and I can't wait to introduce you to him.
