Little Man

A trip to Baton Rouge wouldn't be complete without a visit with one of my honorary nuggets, Brant, and his mom and dad. He hammed it up for the camera for some quick Christmas card photos. Can't wait for this little face to arrive in my mailbox!

Lots to Be Thankful For

It has been an all-too-short, but jam-packed Thanksgiving week in Baton Rouge with all my whole family! We celebrated Mom and Dad's 44th wedding anniversary with family photos and lunch at The Chimes. Then it was off to Alex for Thanksgiving day at Mama Jean and Papa's. So wonderful to have almost all of the family there and so special for Vidrine to meet his great-grandparents! Then Friday, it was an intense Tiger-Razorback battle with Murphy in his never-to-be-removed Mettenberger jersey and Elizabeth calling the hogs! Loved recreating a new version of the GameDay photos we took 2 years ago!  Next, I joined Cat, Malloy, Maxwell and Murphy for their first LSU game - what an awesome treat! And thankfully we pulled out a win! And finally, it was time to celebrate Elizabeth's 4th birthday! I gave her a Belle costume and we had a blast dressing her up as the birthday princess. All the while, Vidrine was just so sweet and even started rolling over!   Whoa... Aunt Marcie is exhausted!

Pretty in Pink

And last but not least, it was time for some newborn pics with little Miss Mary Laura! Mary Laura's mom and I work together and I was so excited to get to meet her!  Unfortunately, she wasn't very excited to meet me and she made me work for each photo. Finally, after some snuggle time with Mom and a bottle, she settled in and opened those pretty blue eyes. This little one is all girl!

All's Fair in Love and War

My next session was a total first for me! My friend Libby called and told me she had a friend looking for a photographer to do a "trash the dress" session. I've seen these on blogs before and have always been intrigued. Once I found out what Abby had planned, I was definitely in! So this afternoon, I met up with Abby and her hubby Ben, all dressed up in their wedding gear. First, we got some traditional shots, but then, it was time for the color war. Abby brought cans of silly string and colored paint and it turned into an all-out battle. So. Much. Fun!

Mama and Her Boys

On to Sunday! The rain came through early and thankfully didn't stop the photo shoot with my sweet co-worker Tanya and her three precious little boys, Miles, Carter & Jacob! Seriously, I can't get over how cute these kiddos are - they have just the biggest smiles and dimples! And they sure do love their mama!
