I had a great time last weekend with Carol & Richard in New Orleans on their wedding. I was one of 10 people invited to the ceremony (what an honor) so before the wedding we strolled the streets of the French Quarter to get some photos of them on their big day. Here are just a couple below and more from their wedding coming soon! Blessings. Jason
So first off let me say that I am really excited about this post... You might seen a couple "fine art" images that I posted a while back from a trip that Ben & I took just photographing for fun. Well... this has turned into a full blown project called "Parish to Parish." The whole idea behind the project is to artistically portray every parish in the state of Louisiana. Below is a screen shot of the website which you can visit at http://www.parishtoparish.com Prints are available for sale through the site and our first showing will actually begin tomorrow (Sunday, March 8th) at CC's coffeehouse on Kaliste Saloom Rd.
Please check by the site often for our latest work and let us know what you think.
Blessings. Jason
I had the opportunity to be with Esther & Stephen for their big day and I just wanted to share a couple photos. They had such a beatiful wedding and it was such an honor to be a part of their day. The first two are a couple from her bridals. Blessings. Jason
I love the color in this shot

I loved his cake!
Last week seemed to fly by quicker than most, but I did want to post a couple photos of two small things that brought a little excitement to my week. The first is a new little personalized product that I just got which is a Jason Cohen Photography iPod shuffle... It is a regular 1GB iPod shuffle with my logo on the front and my website on the back. I had been wanting something really personalized a while back and I was so excited to get it (see pics below and let me know what you think)!
Also Ben turned me on to Narwhal Co. who makes accessories out of recycled ties. I picked up this awesome wallet which I am loving. You can check them out and get one for yourself at http://narwhalcompany.com/

Here are just a couple from Sarah & Brent's Engagements... I am out of the door for two weddings this weekend and teaching a class at pack and paddle! Have a great weekend. Blessings. Jason
Jamie and I had a blast hanging out and shooting with Mignon & Michael. Mignon knew all of the great places in Baton Rouge to shoot and we got some great photos. We had a great time eating sushi after (don't tell my wife that I liked it) and here are a couple of the shots from the shoot.. Blessings. Jason
So I got a phone call on Thursday morning with Genevieve (the creative director for Blue Cross and good friend) with her screaming violenetly to me on the phone "Oh my Gosh!" After finally getting her to calm down he informed me that "How" Magazine had chosen the annual report that we made (she designed & I photographed) as one of 12 picked in for an award in their annual international contest! My first reaction was that maybe she saw the wrong name, but luckily we had just gotten our issue in at the office. This was actually a goal for Gen (congratulations) and was a total honor for me to be a part of. It was such an awesome project and such a blessing to be be involved. We had a blast on Thursday night in Baton Rouge celebrating, and it was great to see Gen on cloud nine. You can pick up a copy at your local Barnes & Noble and here are a couple shots of the magazine. Blessings. Jason
I had everyone sign it who was involved in the project...
I had to double check for my name

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....

Last weekend we had a great time with Lauren & Scott at their wedding. Their ceremony was at Fatima and they had their reception at L`Eglise. They had such a beautiful wedding and reception and we had a blast. Here are just a couple from their wedding. Blessings. Jason
Yet again I realized today that my spam content in my inbox had been a little low since over the weekend and it occurred to me that my email was not working. So, if you sent me an email late last week or over the weekend please drop me a line via my contact page or give me a call. Hope you had a great weekend! Blessings. JasonÂ
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
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
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
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!

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.
Ben and I had an absolute blast with Brandi & Josias on Friday on their engagements and thought that I would post just a couple. Have a great Mardi Gras! I will be out of the office until Wednesday.. Blessings. Jason
Lauren & Robbie got married last weekend and had a beautiful ceremony in Delcambre and reception at Rip Van Winkle Gardens. Melissa from Flowers Etc. did a fabulous job decorating and John Rabalais from Focus Productions was the Videographer. We had a blast at the wedding and they were such an awesome couple. Here are just a couple from their wedding. Blessings. Jason
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!
So I woke up this email and realized that my email/website/blog were all down :( I just wanted to write a quick post in case you have tried to email me in the last couple of days to please resend or give me a call if you need anything. Everything should be back up for good without any further problems, but I just wanted to post a little note just in case.... Blessings. Jason
PS... On a better note... I have some great photos that I am going to try and post later from a seesion that I had with some really good friends of mine, Bebe & Corine Tran, in New Orleans yesterday :)
So one of my passions that I don't get to do very often is go backpacking and I had the opportunity this past weekend to join a couple friends and get out of town for a couple days. I can't remember the last time I took some time off and it was so nice to relax. The last morning we were there it actually got down to 23 degrees. Thank God for a good sleeping bag! Here are just a couple from the trip! Blessings. Jason
These first couple shots were actually all reflection shots... The water in the creek was so still
For some reason I really love this shot... It was actually Kyle's first time camping which is always fun.
This last shot is probably my favorite from the weekend... I love how the warm glow of the sun comes off of the ridgeline..
Blair and Reagan had a beautiful wedding last weekend at St. Johns Cathedral and The Ballroom downtown. Blair was actually sick and had to get a cortisone shot the day of the wedding! She was so beautiful and you would have never known that anything was wrong. Here are just a couple from their wedding.
Blessings.
Jason

I had a blast with the couple on the trolley on the way to the reception.
What a cake!
Roddie Romero played a song for the couple for one of their dances!
