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!

Jenny & Keith were referred to me through Emily Landry and they came over to the house for a session with their new daughter, Payton. Payton is such a cute little baby girl and we got some really great shots.

I LOVE how this set of portraits came out of Aimee & Matt's family came out! Brock is their son, and Jordyn is their newborn baby girl - they are a beautiful set of children!

They look so close knit and that's such an important thing for a family to be. Thanks y'all for having me do another session for you guys.

I did a combo photo session for the Wanko sisters (Mary Clement & Michele Broome) with their daughters. These were Ellie Grace's (Mary) 1 year old & Kate's (Michele) 5 month old portraits. We got some stunning photos - the Wanko genes work pretty good, huh?

These are only a few of my favorite shots!

Melissa contacted me a while back and said she wanted to get her side of the family together to do some portraits with all the "grandkids" together, plus this and that. I have always loved her - such a bubbly personality. She married my cousin, Christian Bourgeois, and they're residing in Florida now. A cool fact - she picked up some American Sign Language because they live in St. Augustine where the Florida School for the Deaf & Blind is!

Groovy family. We did her family, Tony's (Melissa's bro) family, their parents, all the kids, and all the above! Tony has five kids and Melissa has one - they're all an adorable bunch as shown below in this entry!

Enjoy the photos, and leave some comment love for them to read!
