Photoshoot Outtake....

I was on a bridal this week and I just wanted to post an outtake of Ben from the shoot... I think that he fell down the stairs while I wasn't looking. Here it is :) Blessings. Jason

Ethan 8 months! (Corine & Beebe too)

I had a chance to go with ben down to New Orleans yesterday to hang out with the Tran family. They are good friends of mine and fantastic photographers in New Orleans. It was great to spend some time with friends and here are just a couple from the shoot. Blessings. Jason

End of the week and a couple shots....

I am out this weekend for a wedding so I figured I would just post a couple pics from the last couple weeks before the weekend gets into full force. I am also going to start posting camera & lens information for the photo enthusiast out there from the m8 shots. Here are a couple and I hope that everyone has a great weekend! Blessings. Jason

Camera: M8 Lens: Voigtlander 28 1.9

Camera: M8 Lens: Canon 50mm .95

Roadtrip & Harry Benson!

Yesterday I had a chance to hear Harry Benson speak at Tulane in New Orleans and it was truly inspiring. He has photographed every president since Eisenhower, was with Robert Kennedy when he was shot, and even followed the Beatles for their first US tour! It was so nice to hear a photographer who had so much life experience and was so humble. The biggest thing that I took from the event was something that he said, "I try to photograph people as they are and not as I see them." (hopefully that is pretty close). Anyways, here are a couple pics from the event. Blessings. Jason

Notice the people in that image?

Erin at like 2am at a diner in Baton Rouge... Do you think she was tired?

Baby Ashton... Day 2

Jen and I had a chance to visit Jamie & Rebecca before they left the hospital. I just wanted to share a couple photos.. Blessings. Jason

Ashton Parker Orillion is Here!!!!

I got a call from Jamie this morning saying that they had just had the baby at a whooping 11 pounds! I brought a little nourishment to them and snapped a couple photos while I was there. I am sure there is more to come soon. Blessings. Jason

A day out of town...

I had a wedding out of town today and tried to shoot a bit while out and about. I have been really trying to keep my m8 with me at all times, and it was a good thing that I had it today! I also had brunch with James & Monica today to celebrate his birthday (a couple days late). I hope that everyone has a great weekend! Blessings. Jason

Ben while we were waiting for James & Monica

Monica & the birthday boy.... I promise I picked the best one...

A little coffee for inspiration... Anyone who knows me know that I can't do much without coffee

A great little place for dinner off of Perkins called "Pinetta's"

On the way home...

Mink Clothing Photoshoot!

I have a really good friend in Baton Rouge that owns a clothing company and over coffee a couple months back we talked about scheduling a photoshoot. Well... this past Friday we were finally able to make it happen. Jamie, Ben, & I headed over and had a blast with them and all of the models. Here are just a couple... Be on the lookout for Mink clothing in a store near you! Blessings. Jason

The guys behind Mink Clothing... Craig, Clint, & Ryan

Shots of my pops....

My Dad will be coming out with a new CD soon and I had about 10 minutes with him the other day to get a couple publicity shots of him and I thought I would share. Blessings. Jason

Life is like a blur....

The last week has seemed like almost a blur to me, but I wanted to just put up a couple images from my life in the last week or so. Tomorrow should start off with a cup of coffee from my favorite place, so hopefully I will get a little bit of a moment to sit down :) Blessings. Jason

Jen opened up the blinds today and I was inspired by the wash of light coming in to pick up my camera..

This is what I call babysitting (just so you know Norah is the calmest dog in the world and never knew that Lydia was on her)

Laguna Beach Wedding... and the M8

My good friend and super talented photographer, Mark Eric, invited me to come and shoot a wedding with him today in Laguna Beach, CA. The crazy thing is that my lab and album company are within 30 miles of here, but I have never been! I decided that since it was his wedding, I could have a little fun and shoot almost exclusively with the m8. I actually bought a 50mm .95 lens for my Leica while in Vegas from a friend, so this was the perfect time to try it out. I had an absolute blast with Mark at the wedding and here are just a couple.... Blessings. Jason

Right before the ceremony... I am thinking I might make a personal print of this one...

Trent right before the ceremony...

Brittney right before walking down..

I love the expression on Brittney's face right before her dad gives her away..

I just thought this was a funny shot..

I LOVE this shot of Brittney right after the ceremony.. Mark was gracious enough to let me play a little bit after the ceremony..

Apple Store!

Daniel,  Jamie, and I stood in line last week for the grand opening of the Apple store in Baton Rouge. Here are a couple images from the grand opening...

Come by the office today (Wednesday)!

So the last couple of days at the office have really been crazy. Jamie had a shoot for The Color Bar, which consisted of 15 of their hair stylists in the office and I had a shoot for a real estate client today. Needless to say, things have been almost a blur with lots of flashes going off and lots of people coming in and out (I promise there is a point in all of this). So I was talking to Jamie today and saying how it would be fun since we have all of the lighting setup to get random people to take a really quick shot.... So here is your chance.....

Tomorrow (Wednesday February 20th) I, Jamie, or Ben will be in the office shooting from 7:30-3 (I have a bridal then or else I would leave it open until 5). I would love for you to come by and take a quick headshot, body shot, or whatever you would like shot :) Feel free to call me at the office at 337.234.0910 or send me an email through the contact page, just I know that you are coming. The address to the office can be found no my contact page and feel free to call me if you have any questions.

Just a quick note... Anyone is more than welcome to come by. You can be a customer, friend of a past bride, photographer, or just someone who stumbled across my blog. This is merely a chance to have fun and for me to experiment a little bit with shooting something that was not completely planned. I know this seems somewhat random, but if you know me you shouldn't be too surprised :) I will ask that everyone signs a model release, just so I can post them on my blog.

Thanks in advance, and I hope that you come by tomorrow, or at least tell someone to come by!

Blessings. Jason

So here is a couple shots of me... I got some good news today... which I will will post about later, but to make a long story short I photographed an annual report that won an international award in this months "How" magazine. More to come soon....

Tim

Daniel... and its only 10:22... You should see him at 5 :)

UPDATE.... Here is the first shot of Ben from this morning... More to come soon...

Pups...

Ben and I hung out today and photographed his uncle's dogs. His uncle is currently in Shreveport waiting on a liver transplant and Ben wanted to be able to send him a print to cheer him up. Hopefully these will provide a little sunshine to his day. Here are a couple below and keep his uncle Bill in your prayers :) Blessings. Jason

Daniel & Anna Engagements!

You might remember a while back that I posted a proposal that I hid in the hedges for, and now the time has come for their engagements. Jamie and I went to Baton Rouge to shoot Daniel & Anna's engagements and we had a blast. Daniel and Jamie are actually the same guys that just redid my website and here are just a couple.... Oh, and happy valentines day! Blessings. Jason

Mona's Birthday!

Yesterday I got a text message that said, "Can you be at Great Harvest Bread Co. in 1 hour?" My first thought was that this must be some type of covert operation going on so I figured it would go over. As it turns out James blindfolded Monica and drove an hour (from Baton Rouge) to get some bread from Great Harvest as a birthday surprise. It was really good to see them and here are just a couple shots from yesterday... Happy Birthday Monica!!! Blessings. Jason

Mardi Gras!

I had the chance to take a little break this past week and hang out for the day with some good friends who just happen to live right off the parade route. I took out the Leica just to snap a couple random shots from the day and here are just a couple.. Blessings. Jason

Talk about pimp my ride!

So this was quite possibly the most interesting thing I had ever laid my eyes on. The guy who was next to it had to show off his homemade margarita mixer, which consisted of two coolers, lots of glue, and a garbage disposal!

Jordan

This lady was flying down the street. I think that thing must have had a v10 in it.

Lydia our Godchild. She is so cute.

Corine & Bebe Tran!

So I had the opportunity yesterday to hang out with some great friends in New Orleans yesterday and shoot a family lifestyle session with their new baby boy Ethan. We had such a blast and it was so good to get out of the office for the day and hang out with some friends. Here are just a couple images from their session, and I am starting to do more of these and if you are interested in one let me know! Blessings. Jason

PS... There might be a bit of photos from this shoot... I just couldn't narrow them down!
