Erica rocked her urban shoot last weekend at the Studio. We had a little bit of rain while we where shooting, but she didn’t let it stop her from taking stunning photos.

She’s amazing, but you’re amazing-er

I love the way you use backgrounds/locations to enhance the pic but it doesnt distract from the people. You make it look easy.

Luve the tongue one.
And here are some more of Dusti’s bridals. I just finished them today and I’m so happy with the results. She had so much range and it resulted in a great mix of images.
The image from the sneak peak post below…and one of my absolute faves.

Whoa, I’m pretty much speechless. And that’s very uncommon. Thanks for being the biggest part of making my dream wedding come true!! So glad I have photos like these to last FOREVERR

Yay Dusti! So glad you love them! I love them too, there was so much versatility.
September 24, 2008 - 6:35 pm
Wow Dus, you look absolutely amazing. I really can’t even find the right words to describe how beautiful it all came out. You just a sexy momma! I can’t wait until the BIG day! You will be radiant! Love you a lot a lot

AH-MA-ZING!!!!! gorgeous! you are fabulous! i have a similar approach to my PP but can’t quite get it down- do you use lucisart or something else? regardless, LOVE IT!
September 30, 2008 - 11:41 pm
I stay away from any type of automated PP except for when I use my own homemade actions. All my editing is done by hand in photoshop.
Here is just one of Dusti’s bridals. A “sneak peak” by request. I’ll post more when I’m done working on them!

THANKS DAWN! You’re the best! Can’t wait for the rest
September 22, 2008 - 8:39 pm
I’ll get more up as soon as they are finished!
I will be taking an extended vacation this year from December 19th -March 19th to nest, rest, and have my baby girl. If your thinking of booking a portrait session with me, now is the time because I only have a small handful of dates left between now and my maternity leave. All spring weddings...
WOW! Doesn’t she look amazing? And her dress was so different! I had so much fun, I asked her to come back – so watch for her in the November issue of FACE!

Thank you Heidi! I’ll be taking plenty of portraits before my leave and will probably still be posting them here while I’m on leave.
September 22, 2008 - 5:01 pm
Can you post one? Like a “sneak peak”?!! lol
September 22, 2008 - 5:12 pm
Hmmm, sure why not! But you’ll have to wait for the rest!
We had a great time shooting as Ike was approaching. The water was rising before our eyes. We finished in time to get out before the flood!

I love the first one! And if im not mistaken Holly went to Acadiana with us. Or maybe Lafayette with me. I dont rmember things that far back. But anyways, Congrats to them.
September 17, 2008 - 9:18 am
I think she went to acadiana. I went to both schools too so I get things mixed up as well.
September 17, 2008 - 3:22 pm
I love the first too and the last one! I did go to Acadiana High from 1993-1997, so did Doug. Thanks for the great pics Dawn. You did an amazing job as always.

It’s actually a lot of fun and I really enjoy meeting all these amazing local women.
Believe it or not, this was my first wedding at acadian village and I loved it there! I spent lots of time walking around taking detail shots of the grounds, but this post would be a mile long if I tried to include them all. It was had to choose blog images, I wanted to...

Oh my lord, I was lookin through the photos and noticed that baby on the table. How funny!!
September 15, 2008 - 2:21 pm
I know! When I saw that I stopped dead in my tracks….and a million jokes ran through my head….”Baby, the other white meat.”, “Baby, it’s what’s for dinner.” and so on. Ok, I pay attention to far too many commercials!

OMG Austin Powers!! What was it…Gold Member…”I want my baby back baby back baby back baby back baby back riiibs”
Sorry, you had me giggling there…I too had to stare at the picture to see if it was a doll or an actual sleeping baby…

Ha! Christina, that’s a good one!!
I had a great time following Jacqueline around for her big day in Breaux Bridge
The sign in guest book is a big hit! Sure beats that little generic book you usually see at weddings.
This is what happens when you throw your bouquet into a ceiling fan….shot by my assistant, Elise.

Haha, or maybe just not so high up! It sure made a funny shot though!
A big day, that lasted all day, I love those opelousas brides!
