This fall season we planned on doing a couple of “Post Session” style sessions for Chateau Estates Country Club. They have beautiful facilities for weddings and functions both inside and outside of the club. As a last minute model I decided to get the most beautiful girl that I know … my very own daughter, Renee …. and significant friend Neil.
Here’s a few of my favorites :

Lauren, Adam, and family & friends from California, Texas, and Virginia came in town for a New Orleans destination wedding. The ceremony took place at the beautiful St Patrick’s Church. The prep and the reception was at the Astor Crowne Plaza Hotel.

Below: No, that’s not the bottom of Lauren’s dress. Ann from the Astor Crowne Plaza took a regular sheet, cut some holes in it for the legs, and the bottom of the dress was kept completely dry on rainy afternoon.

September 19, 2009 - 1:02 pm - Your very welcome. You guys were great to work with. It makes my job so easy with a group who is passionate about taking photos and that was as easy going and on time as you were.

While I normally only shoot weddings and wedding related sessions, I’m glad that I decided to try a senior session. Sydney is a high school senior at McGehee High School located in uptown New Orleans. Sydney, you were a true trooper during this two hour outdoor session. Congratulations on your senior year !
