Welcome Get Shot By Tate!
Since you MUST know about me...... I'll talk about what kind of photographer I am. I'm the kid who hated traditional crap. I hated the concept of doing wedding photography. I wanted to do high fashion and naked people - and that WAS IT. Fast Forward to ten + years later....... I'm doing weddings, naked people (but it's always tasteful..... or at least I think it is) and I do SOME traditional stuff. I like to think my traditional stuff is twisted. Ok, it's not traditional. Call it what you want to call it, but I don't like the WORD - traditional. My wife does. She's twisted traditional. My work is my work. I don't like rules. It's hard for me to play by the rules when I'm doing photography. I think that's what keeps it so fun for me. I tell the parents of my senior shoots that I dislike cap and gown shots (was I supposed to do that?) but I still do them because I know they love those. ;-) I think you get the drift of what kind of photographer I am. I may think I'm way more radical than I am, but let me think I'm just ubercool and not traditional. Okay?

Michelle & Richie Engaged!
02.08.10
I met up with Michelle and Richie two weeks ago to do their engagement session at the LSU Rural Museum off of Essen Lane in Baton Rouge. What a nice place to do a photo session...... (minus the fee for photographers to use the place - it was pretty steep!)

I love how we got these captures! The weather was really overcast but that usually works for me because I have more control around the area.

I can't wait till their big day arrives in March - it'll be so wonderful photographing their wedding.

Chad & Jessica : Lake Charles
02.04.10
I did photos of Jessica's brother's family last summer (they came out to Baton Rouge from Lake Charles) and Jessica liked them so much, she contacted me to set up a session for her and her husband, Chad. I AM flattered that people would drive a good distance to get a session done by me - flattered!

We got so many awesome shots of Chad and Jessica! I'm posting my favorites up on here for them and you all to see. They make such a really sweet couple and you can tell in their photos.

Thanks C & J!

Bobby & Summer Engaged!
01.11.10
Bobby and Summer drove through Louisiana from Austin to Florida (where Summer grew up) and stayed at Maison Looziana! We took them out to eat at The Chimes and had a ball with their company. When they first arrived, we immediately did an engagement session with two different outfits then did a few first thing early the next AM with 'em in their PJs and coffee! They are looking amazing!

Here are a few teasers for them, you, and us to enjoy! :)

Thanks Bobby & Summer!
