I had the honor to be a part of this couples proposal last week and just wanted to share.
Although I have only photographed 4 proposals, they have to be one of my favorite things to be a part of. Something about the almost James Bond like tactical planning makes me feel like I am a secret agent hiding around a corner.
For this proposal I was actually sitting in one of the pews of the church “fake praying” as the couple came in. I sat for about 10 minutes with my head in my folded hands peeking though a couple fingers waiting to be able to pick up my camera without Kathryn noticing. I think that my heart beat must been audible from the parking lot it was beating so fast.
Again such a blessing and an honor to asked be a part of such an intimate part of life.
Blessings.

I had a chance to catch up with these guys recently and wanted to post a couple of my favorites from their session. They are such a beautiful family and I am always honored to be able to photograph their family.
Thanks to my good friend Mark Eric for coming down and shooting as well. It is always fun getting to shoot side by side with him.
Blessings.

I had the opportunity to recently shoot an ad campaign for Blue Cross Blue Sheild of Louisiana that they are currently running and I wanted to share a few of my favorites. I was shooting people giving their “shot face” (the face they give when they are being given a shot) and pretty funny to see everyone’s reaction when you ask for it.
One of the cool things about the campaign is that they are accepting other “shot faces” and you can enter your own to win a free Apple iPod. Visit http://www.takeyourbestshotla.com/ to enter your image (or you can just go to vote for me… you can’t miss my image :)
Blessings.

Comment by tracy harig — 12.06.2010This is so sweet!
Comment by Kaylynn Marie — 12.18.2010PS. Hi. This is exactly what I thought your site looked like. Except I could have sworn you had some blue letters. Magic color-alternating-site, eh? I see how it is. See you at dinner. Just kidding.
I agree with Ooti. The description makes the story that the pictures tell even better.
