Ari & Bas on Campus

Being home in Baton Rouge for Christmas gave me the fun opportunity to meet up with another old friend! Over Thanksgiving, I got the chance to photograph my dear friend Katherine and her family. This time, it was her sister Stephanie's turn! We had a great time roaming around campus with her two sweet kiddos, Bas & Ari, and hubby Jonathan!

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!

They've Got (Bio)Chemistry!

You know how there are just some people in your life that make a bigger impact than you might realize. My friend from college, Allyson, is directly responsible for where I am today.  As a former St. Jude patient herself, she was the person who first got me involved with St. Jude in college and the person who told me about the job with St. Jude in Chicago - both of which led me to where I am today.  We've mainly stayed in touch through Facebook over the years and so I was so flattered when she emailed me about taking her engagement photos while we were both in BR.  It was such a fun day catching up with such a dear old friend and getting to meet her sweet future hubby.  Since they are both brilliant PhDs and budding professors, we thought LSU was the perfect setting, capped off by a post-photo shoot beer at our favorite hangout, The Chimes!  Allyson & Greg - I'm so happy for you two!

 

The Big Dipper

My sorority little sister and long-time friend Laurie is getting married next fall and I was super excited to take her engagement photos with her fiancé Jacob.  We had quite a day - gallivanting around all over LSU and downtown Baton Rouge, and he was a total trooper.  And he developed his own signature pose - the dip!  It was a great day with a great couple!
