{Inspirational Palette}

March 9, 2010

Decor Dislikes:
I have a confession to make….I loathe anything that remotely resembles a rooster. There, I said it. Dinnerware, flatware, dishtowels, baskets….the list goes on and on. I’ve even taken a strong disliking to refrigerators that have the petrified animal roosting on top. I know, it isn’t the refrigerators fault. It just seems to me that it would be unsafe to put a rock with legs where it could fall off and render one unconscious. With that being said, it’s safe to assume there won’t be any hazardous roosters in the studio.

Decor Likes:
Movable walls, concrete, steel, glass, black, white…Yesterday, my friend Julie called my taste slightly “sterile”…I think she’s onto something. I do love the clean look of a bright, airy, white room…but on the other hand, there’s something about a black couch with delicate legs on a concrete floor that screams “rich” and “anchored” to me.

Which color palette do you prefer?

Jeri - I was afraid you didn't like roosters,(they add so much character) but think the taste "sterile" is definitely very interesting. ...

{Family Pricing}

March 6, 2010

It’s that time of year again!

Who?
EVERYONE is welcome to participate!

What?
45 minute Mini Sessions: Maternity, Engagements, Family, Anytime & Kids Photography

When?
For the next two weeks

Where?
Lafayette: Today through Friday March 12, 2010
Atlanta: Saturday March 13, 2010 through Sunday March 21, 2010
Lafayette: Monday March 22, 2010

Why?
I have HUGE family both in Louisiana and Atlanta, and a lot of photographers will agree that sometimes it’s tough to accommodate family photography requests with our busy schedules. Because they’re family, and we love them, we make it happen. By opening my schedule for these two weeks, I’m able to book family in both states at once…so I’m not trying to squeeze them in later when my schedule is full. I allow non family clients to fill the vacancies left by family at the same price since I rarely run specials. As you can imagine, these openings usually fill within several hours of posting.

Family Pricing Menu:
Sessions $150
β€’ covers up to 4 people $20 per person extra
Prints require a $100 minimum portrait order
4×6 $18
5×7 $25
8×10 $35
10×13 $45
11×14 $55
16×20 $75

How?
Call me…like now.
Office 337.706.7855
Cell 770.315.3799
You can email this post to your friends by clicking β€œSend to a friend” in the comment box below.

Once available openings are filled, I will return to accepting appointments at regular rates.

{Lafayette Photographer}

March 4, 2010

J and I were on our way to lunch yesterday when I remembered I needed to update my location on google maps. I’m officially a photographer in Acadiana. A Lafayette la photographer to be exact. I’m really enjoying having this interactive map on my blog and if you’re wondering what I’m doing right now….I’m playing with the interactive map :)

Hello world! I received a sweet little reminder today that I haven’t posted in a while so I’m making up for it tonight. For those of you who didn’t know, J. and I celebrated our two year wedding anniversary weekend before last. I know….awww…and we celebrated by designing a live/work loft which will be our future home as well as the studio of Elite Photography Inc. I know…YAY! The project is definitely in the infant stages, but I’ll be posting more as it grows. For now, I’m still trying to get all the pieces of eraser out of the carpet and prepare for our busy season!

Mardi Gras!

February 13, 2010

Last night we attempted to brave the cold to see the Mardi Gras parade in Lafayette. It didn’t take long for us to turn into total wusses because it was sooooo COLD…or at least I turned into a total wuss. J was either warm or ignoring the fact he was frozen like a snowman. Either way, he’s much better at sub 70 degree temperatures than I am.

I needed coffee! Hot, fresh, something to defrost my hands, COFFEE! We missed the 7:00 cut off (by 3 seconds) at CC’s, but they let us order in the drive thru. Since the streets were barricaded, we were on foot…so we did what every Cajun would do in the time of a coffee crisis…we formed a line in the drive thru. Thank you Awesome CC’s Guy for letting us order coffee!!! Otherwise, I would be completely fingerless today :)
