I never publish a post this late in the day but I got out of bed this a.m. at 6:05 to go to the gym and I’ve hardly stopped since.  Well besides the fairly relaxing hair appointment I had this morning in which my stylist massaged my neck during the shampoo and it took her .053 seconds…

Wow, What A Year!

December 30, 2011 by Elaine

Going through an entire YEAR’s worth of photos is fun, time consuming and brings forth so very many emotions.  I think I said in my head “Oh my gosh look how cute and little “so-and-so” was!!” about a bazillion times, possibly with a tear or three in my eye. Even The B Man seemed smaller and…

December 22, 2011 by Elaine

New York City is simply amazing.  For SO many reasons.  But it’s extra amazing at the holidays. The hustle and bustle is even more so and there are festive decorations and lights and Christmas trees just about everywhere. I have SO many things to say and could go on for days (and MANY posts!) about the things…

Berries, Buds & Babies (okay, kids, but hey, they’re MY babies forever!!)

December 15, 2011 by Elaine

Christmas time in Louisiana can be is always pretty warm.  I think the high temp today was around 76.  Who knows what it will be on actual Christmas Day.  I would guess 65. The camellias bloom in December and January, making it look almost Spring-like in the dead of winter. And the ONLY snowmen we…

The Halls are Decked, yo.

December 8, 2011 by Elaine

We’ve had our Christmas decorations out since the Sunday after Thanksgiving but today/tonight was the first time I really took a few photos. I just love this time of year… This first photo was inspired by my friend Jennifer’s own post today… And the rest? Well, I just like taking photos.  But y’all know that…

There are beautiful people all around me!

December 1, 2011 by Elaine

Over the bayou and through the woods to the zoo we go…

November 30, 2011 by Elaine

Some photos I took during our outing to the zoo last week… The photo above would be perfect with a family in the center wouldn’t it?  I can’t stop looking for great places to take pictures of people since I started doing so. 🙂 Just a few seconds after I took this photo this Llama…

This or That

November 17, 2011 by Elaine

Back in May I met Deb at a little, local blogger get-together.  She’s a really sweet and fun-loving person and she takes amazing photographs. I was SO excited to see that she started this carnival called This or That Thursday some weeks ago, and knew that I would love to link up. Not only does…

My First Family Photoshoot

November 16, 2011 by Elaine

So last week I put myself out there and offered to take photographs for some of my local friends and their families.  The response was more than I could have hoped (YAY!) and on Sunday I got together with my first guinea pigs family and I am happy to report that it went pretty well….
