~Tulip Queen~
Anna was precious! She is my first teeny tiny baby and what a sweetheart! Her mother Denise was busy feeding her while I was running around with Dylan. We just couldnt figure out why she wasnt satisfied with her bottle until MeMe realized that the nipple was clogged with formula and little Anna wasnt getting ANYTHING out! Bless her little heart.. once MeMe fixed it, Anna went to town and let me just tell you, she is one noisy little piggy…. of course I guess I would be too if I was working that hard for nothing! She has the biggest dark blue eyes and was very alert.
Anna was “pic’d” most precious little Tulip Queen!
~What are little boys made of~
Dylan had a great time at the Tulip Farm! Not only did he find tulips, but he found cows, tractor tires & rocking chairs just to name a few things. He watered the flowers, climbed the fence, snacked on his Apple Jacks, fed his baby cousin & just ran around like any other 3 year old boy would. I mean, with the beautiful spring weather we had on Saturday.. what do you expect?
My mother, sister, Montana, Nevada, Kaycie (cousin), & Sandy (mother-in-law) loaded up in my jeep and we headed to Gilbert to visit the Tulip Farms. We enjoyed our stay and took lots of pictures!
Thanks to Diane (MeMe), Daughter in-law- Denise with Grandson Dylan, Daughter in-law- Lacy with 6 week old Granddaughter Anna for meeting us there for their Spring photos… Here is Dylan’s & I will get Anna’s posted soon!
Dylan has been “pic’d” cutest cowboy on the Tulip Farm!
~1+1=Three~
Of course it makes sense…. Carvette, Dee & sweet Mackenzie! Carvette & Dee are getting married in September and what better time to get these engagement photos done, before the heat starts to set in. These 3 make a wonderful family & it shows! Carvette has chosen black & watermelon as her colors…how classy & fun that’s going to be. Different, that is what Carvette wants… from the sounds of it, different is certainly what she is going to get! We had this photo shoot at Forsythe Park on Sunday… the weather was cloudy, cool, a little damp…but NO rain! Mackenzie was itching to play, but we had work to do. Hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek!
~Tulips, tulips & more tulips!~
Just when you think you have seen it all! Check out these beautiful flowers…. tulips, wysteria, iris, larkspurs, alliums, poppies and much more. What a perfect place to have your Spring/Easter photos taken of the kids, family or just whatever! I will be visiting these farms on Saturday March 21st with my own family and you know I will have my camera with me… take advantage of the mini-sessions! Call and/or email me.
If you are coming to the tulip farms and traveling south from the Monroe area, you simply take I-20 East to the Rayville exit. At the Rayville exit, take a right and travel approximately 28 miles through Winnsboro to Gilbert. In Gilbert, make a right hand turn on Hwy 128 and go for approximately 1.4 miles. Then, make a left hand turn on Calhoun Road. Once on Calhoun Road, drive for approximately 2.5 miles and then look for the tulips on the left hand side of the road. That’s it! Or, you can just call Curtis on his cell for directions at 318-348-0141 or 318-724-7444. Please feel free to park your car and make yourself at home and browse around.

~Just kidding around… ~
Nevada & Montana came thru for me, again! Heck, even got a shot of CeeCee. We had alot of fun in Alto, Louisiana… just down the road from where we live. Its a beautiful place to drive thru.. just dont blink, you will be sure to miss it. I can only imagine how much prettier it will be in full bloom. The boys always have a great time out shooting and posing for me. Seems we are finding just about anything to get in to. They LOVED the bridge… we are dare devils! Hope you all enjoyed this gorgeous spring weekend… Hey, give me a call to schedule your family spring mini-session!
Oh, leave a comment or two… would love to hear what you think!
My sweet little CeeCee
~All Smiles~
Maryam was all smiles and dimples shooting her bridals at Beidenharn Museum & Gardens last Sunday. The weather was a little cool, but sunny & pretty calm….. perfect! My stepdaughter, Hayden came along with me to help out & we all had a lot of fun. Courtney got in on the action & I believe between the 2 of us we got well over 800 photos! That is most definately a must…..LOTS OF PICTURES! Maryam was absolutely beautiful and as always, up for just about anything. It was really funny to watch her struggle in and out of some poses in that fabulous dress of hers. She was a real trooper & very excited about the Big Day! Courtney and I will be shooting her wedding day coverage coming up on March 22nd. Hope you enjoy this little sneak peek!
~Looking for new places~
And I have most definatley found a wonderful new place! Me and the boys took a little road trip on Saturday down to Winnsboro. Montana has this little book reading incentive going on in his class with Pizza Hut giving away free personal pan pizzas when they read so many books. He had 2 coupons and has been begging me to take him to Pizza Hut to redeem them. We dont get to Pizza Hut very often, but I knew that he had earned his pizzas and I needed to take him. Since I have this Saturday set for Spring sessions, I thought it would be a great idea to head to the Pizza Hut in Winnsboro.. that way, I could check out the town, park & Sweet Peas Gift and Flowers. Let me just say that I could stay in Winnsboro shooting sessions without getting bored! It is absolutely beautiful… Sweet Peas has the most beautiful courtyard with fountain, iron fence, brick steps, trees, benches & blooming bushes! Plenty of photo opportunities there… as well as downtown sidewalks, old buildings, colums, lamp posts & the recreation park with gazebo and park benches. The best part is that full Spring is not even here yet, so there is sooo much more to come! Ok, so there you have it.. my review of the week! I also had a bridal shoot at Beidenharn this weekend that turned out more than 200 gorgeous photos… I am super anxious to get those posted.
Please take advantage of the Spring Mini- Photo Sessions for this Saturday! I will also be scheduling Spring Mini- Photo Sessions for Saturday March 14 and possibly 21st in Monroe/West Monroe.. so stay tuned for more information!
