Welcome Get Shot By Tate!
I am so fortunate to have a job I absolutely love. The world is a mega-huge one, and I have assigned myself the best job in the world which is to shoot photos, share them with you, and repeat the same steps over and over for y'all to enjoy. Anyone who knows me well knows I'm an OPEN BOOK, but when I have that camera in front of my eye - I see everything in a very tiny window. When I determine what I captured is eye candy ready to share, that is when I really OPEN up to you as a photographer/friend. Thank you so much for your support in any way its given!

Thanks to everyone for your support (AND patience!!) I'm gonna work, work, work.

Have a GREAT weekend! I will be photographing Aja & Kyle's wedding tomorrow at The Cabin in Gonzales. It is going to be a stunning wedding and that location is just perfect! I can't wait to be able to post up Aja's bridals that we shot back in November of last year!

UGH. That's like putting a delish L:emon Doberge cake in front of me and then taking it away and throwing it away. BAD but awesome TEASE :)

Christine interpreted for a wedding I shot in Palo Alto two years ago, and I guess I made a good impression on her because she and Craig booked me for their wedding in NorCal this coming October! They wanted to get some engagement shots done, and I knew I wouldn't be in their area anytime soon so I let them know the unfortunate news. Next thing I know - they're saying they will fly into town for their shoot! How flattering - flying into town to get shot by me, how cool! They wanted to get them done as soon as they could so they flew in the day Sarah and I flew out for Rio! I met up with them in New Orleans and we shot around the Jackson Square & Pat O'Briens in the most awful rainy, freezing weather. I told C & C that it was so abnormal for Louisiana to have that sort of weather! (Same time as the "expected" snow....) - they both had such great spirits and we had an amazing shoot! We got tons of marvelous shots, and they got to check out New Orleans for their first time around the peak of Mardi Gras!

Check out Christine and Craig! Leave some comment love for them!

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.

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!

Here's a teaser of Lynn and Travis's engagement session from this afternoon. Lynn found me through Angie Helm and we've just hit it off. She and Travis have wonderful chemistry and it was evident throughout the entire shoot. I can't wait until it's time to shoot their big day in March!

Thanks guys!
