Sarah gives me a haircut : November 16, 2011
Today one of my oldest friends, Miquel, will marry Chris in Ville Platte, Louisiana. We’re looking forward to witnessing her happiness (and of course shooting the day).
I shot Abbie’s bridals last August but couldn’t post anything up until her wedding in October of last year, then forgot! I couldn’t let this not go without being posted. I think she’s such a bundle of bubblegum sweetness!
Here’s the second Layne’s ad featuring my photograph of Johnny & Paula Berthelot!
Jessica and Blair got in touch with me to do some portraits of them as a couple. We met up at The Cabin (Yummy food, just saying….) and did some great shooting. I loved the fact that Jessica wore this bright red dress in contrast to his army uniform! So American of them 
I am having so much fun shooting Margo’s little girl, Lola, year after year! It’s a joy seeing her grow into this gorgeous young lady. Before we know it, she’s going to be 18!
The Adams gang got in touch with me during their stay in town visiting family & friends from Canada. I’m glad we could get an appointment booked down before they had to fly back home to Calgary! I had a great time with Brad, Christine, & their two kiddos!
The Nizzo family was my first 2011 session! I’m going to try to blog every session I shoot this year just to showcase the diverse images caught in a session that I catch.
NEVER QUIT NEVER FORGET GALA
Marcus Luttrell, Navy Cross Recipient and Author of the New York Times
Bestseller Lone Survivor, to Visit Baton Rouge to Promote the Lone
Survivor Foundation
(Baton Rouge, Louisiana) On March 26, 2011, Marcus Luttrell, highly
decorated Navy SEAL and author of Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of
Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10, will speak to
promote the Lone Survivor Foundation (LSF). The Foundation seeks to
welcome home, empower, and restore America’s wounded warriors and their
families. Also speaking will be Navy SEAL Lt. Jason Redman and Char
‘Fontan’ Westfall.
While recovering from combat wounds, Lt. Redman placed a hand written sign
on his hospital door rejecting pity and touting his determination to make
a full recovery. A photo of the sign was widely circulated, inspiring many
around the world. Mr. Redman is the founder of Wounded Wear which provides
free clothing and clothing modifications to wounded warriors.
Char ‘Fontan’ Westfall is the surviving spouse of New Orleans Native and
Navy SEAL, Jacques Fontan. Chief Petty Officer Jacques Fontan was one of
the 16 troops killed in a rescue mission during Operation Redwing. This
was the largest loss of life in a single day for Naval Special Warfare
since World War II. June 28 is now Naval Special Warfare Day in Louisiana
to commemorate the sacrifices of CPO Fontan and his fallen brothers. Mrs.
‘Fontan’ Westfall will provide a firsthand account of the support and
guidance she has received from the United Warrior Survivors Foundation.
Local combat veterans and Purple Heart recipients Army Ranger Chance
Vaughn and U.S. Marine Ryan Cahill will also be guests of honor.
The Gala will be held in downtown Baton Rouge at the Lyceum Ballroom from
7p-11pm. The Event’s purpose is to raise money for both The Lone Survivor
Foundation and The United Warrior Survivor Foundation which serves the
needs of surviving spouses of special operations military perso
nnel killed
in the line of duty.
Auction and raffle items include authenticated American flags flown over
military bases in Iraq, a 4 Karat Black Diamond Solitaire, and an AR-15
rifle.
