The McGee Family: Thanksgiving + Bayou DeSiard

Right before Thanksgiving, I was able to photograph the McGee Family on the beautiful Bayou DeSiard. Sometimes, you have to help people think about what to wear to photoshoots…but not this family! When Walt, Amber and their two kiddos stepped out of the car, everyone was perfectly color coordinated. (Knowing my wife, my guess is that Amber played a big role in these decisions!) Enjoyed capturing these family photos of this very special family! :)

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Miss ULM Sarah Torregrossa Heads to 2016 Miss Louisiana Pageant

Sarah didn’t grow up competing in pageants. Softball was her thing.

But after being encouraged by her friends and family to try competing, she took up the challenge. And for the last several years, she has done well.

Very well, in fact.

In November 2015, the senior mass communications major from West Monroe was crowned Miss University of Louisiana Monroe (or Miss ULM).

This victory has given her the opportunity to compete on a much larger stage. On June 23-25, Sarah will be a contestant in the Miss Louisiana pageant alongside 31 other contestants. The winner of this pageant will serve as the representative of the state of Louisiana in the Miss America pageant, which will be held in Atlantic City in September.   

Last weekend, we had the opportunity to photograph Sarah. She has a wonderful personality, steers away from conformity, and is true to herself. Meghan and I had a blast getting to know her story, and we wish her all the best next month. Here are a few photos from the session.
