The Stewarts

This has been over a month in the making. Tons of rescheduling due to the weather.. too cold, overcast, rainy.. you name it! We were FINALLY lucky enough to schedule on a good day! But unfortunately, it was still pretty chilly for cute little 5 month old Sedona. We did manage to get some adorable shots of her. And the awesome thing about her, even when she started to cry, she didn't frown! Haha! She was such a little sweet pea. And I loved the cute little songs her mommy & daddy sang her to get her attention or make her happy. She was just so precious, and I loved her beautiful blue eyes. But the poor thing was so cold. Even cuddled up in her adorable pink onesie parka, she was still too cold to go any further. So shoot #2 to be scheduled some time in the future!!

Myrtice + Willie

I have the best job. I really do! I get to meet and hang out with the sweetest people. Bryan and I met Willie and Myrtice, aka Tay in Downtown St. Pete this past weekend. Again, not the best weather, but had the best time! What a fun, sassy couple! They brought their little puppy Ceasar, who is seriously, the cutest puppy I have ever seen!! Cute puppy for a cute couple!! Tay is half hawaiian, gorgeous skin tone! And I love how she's always wearing flowers in her hair. So cute!! I wish I could pull that off. And let me tell you... Wille has the best smile I have ever seen on a guy. So genuine and CUTE!! I sincerely enjoyed shooting this couple. I can't wait for their wedding in October!!

Brittany + Kraig

Congratulations to Brittany and Kraig on their engagement!! What a sweet and fun couple! Brittany and I have been talking through email for a few weeks, trying to plan a day to do their pictures. I knew we would hit it off, cause she was so sweet and down to earth, and so excited to get her engagement pictures done. I think she caught on to my excitement too, cause she said she loved my enthusiasm. Haha, I kinda felt like a dork because I guess I get overly excited about engagement pictures. What can I say? I love what I do! So we picked a day, and as it got closer, we saw it was going to storm. Now, talk about enthusiasm, Brittany kept an eye on the hourly forecast like a pro. So we decided to take our chances with the rain, and bring the umbrellas just in case. We met, and I instantly fell in love with this couple! Very go with the flow, "just tell me what to do, and I'll do it" kind of people. And they had me laughing the entire time. It was cold, windy, the sun was hiding, but they were troopers and had a good time, and it showed in the pictures.

They were so cute when they kissed. I would take the picture, and move out of the way. A few seconds later, they're still kissing and he says "Oh, I'm sorry. Are we done?" I didn't want to interrupt!


I loved her ring!! Very gorgeous and unique!



Just had to show the "BIG GUNS" next to the big gun

I hope he doesn't mind me posting this picture! During the outfit change, Brittany had his shoes, so he had to wait for her to get back. Hence the socks and shoes. And I just had to take a picture, and he agreed!! So here he is, performing the 'Irish Jig'. Told you they were a fun couple!!

Brittany, you are GORGEOUS!!

So much in love!

It was a pleasure and an honor to do your engagement pictures! I had a blast! Congratulations again guys!

Marissa

A few weeks ago I got an email from an old friend. She told me she's coming in town from Missouri for business, and she wanted to know if I could do her pictures. I immediately said yes for a few reasons. One, because she's one of my old best friends from Elementary School.. We lived just a few houses down from each other and spent practically every day together. Its been years since I've seen her, and I knew it would be great getting to see her again. The other reason why I jumped at this opportunity is because she is completely and utterly gorgeous!! She always has been. I remember being extremely jealous of her long, beautiful hair. Life just isn't fair sometimes. But I knew my job would be easy as pie!

So I met up with Marissa & her friend Emily at Clearwater Beach, talked about old times and whats new. We told Emily all about our Louisiana food, and how nowhere else can compare. We talked about her little daughter, a sassy 3 year old who prefers to sleep in a cat litter sized tupperware container than her own bed. Complete with blankets and pillows and everything! How cute can you get?

We took tons of pictures on the beach, by the pier, on the rocks.. which we got in trouble for, but the pictures were definetly worth it! Here's to old friendships and new memories. Love you Marissa!!

In celebration of the saints going to the superbowl FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, I wanted to share some good ol' Louisiana love. Cause really, is there any other place like it on earth? I'm just a cajun girl who grew up on red beans and rice & boudin. Mmmmm, boudin. With a last name like "Jeansonne", you're bound to have a lil Tony Chachere's in your blood! Now if you've never been to New Orleans, you are missing out so big!! My favorite city is so rich in culture, history, life & food!! And the people are so awesome! You can tell if someone is a New Orleanian, because of their laid back, 'here to have a good time' personalities. And of course they would be talking about Drew Brees' amazing arm, or screamin "WHO DAT" from the streets. But if I could just talk about the food.. again. Who can beat Cafe Du Monde with their scrumptious beignets? And Drago's with their charbroiled oysters? And umm.. may I mention CRAWFISH?? Yes, all the head juice, guts and everything. Ok, I'm making myself hungry for something spicy and its not even 10am. Here are some pictures Bryan and I took last time we were there. What a gorgeous place, my home. New Orleans.
