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 :)

I had the pleasure of doing a session with Antonia (and some with her boyfriend, Pedro) in Rio during our vacation. Yep! I did a shoot, so I did work a tiny bit..... SHHH!

We had alot of fun and she wanted to do it at this gorgeous park, Jardim Botanico. We got to see the beautiful landscape while walking around through the session. 

Here are some of my favorites. Thank you Antonia! (Your CD will be mailed off soon!!)

Cristina James:

Love it all and now you can say you had an international photo portofolio too. It is beautiful with the palm tree and all also I wanted to say that in the 9th picture with her boyfriend that guy looks a little bit of a young Tate.

(03.02.10)
Meggo:

LOVE the one with the palm leaves, river, and sun!! Its really cool to have some pictures taken at an exotic location!!! AWESOME JOB!

(03.02.10)
Mrs. TTP:

i think Pedro looks sorta like Tom Brady and its ironic because Tom Brady DID marry a Brazilian woman, Gisele LOL :) Gorgeous pixs, Antonia has such a contagious smile!!!!!

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!

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening!

Sho just sent me a scan of my photo of her that Deaf Life used for her article in their latest issue. She also apologized for them not even giving me credit. Deaf Life, here's a little known fact - ALWAYS credit the photographer in your magazine when using their photographs. It is nothing but an insult when you don't.

Anyway - the photo came out marvelous! I love shooting Shoshannah, she is so much fun!!! :-)

scan0004.jpgI'm so proud of Sho!
