There's nothing like a warm bubble bath!

I love the simple things in life!

These moments are priceless...

One-on-One Session with Michelle | Erin Rachel Photography

So I get a phone call sometime in November-ish from Michelle's husband

David asking opinions on cameras. He wanted to buy Michelle

a good camera so I gave my opinions and basically just said

"whatever you do buy Canon" :-) This was the best advice I could give!!!!

He asked about me spending

some time with Michelle showing her how to use her camera

and all of the ins and outs. Since they live in Huntsville, AL she

wouldn't be around to take a workshop, so I said absolutely YES!

He called me back a few weeks later saying he had gotten her

the Canon Rebel XSi.

Two thumbs up for David:-) He bought her a great camera, surprised

her for Christmas and even went a step further with this session!

Michelle called me two days after Christmas all excited and totally

surprised at her camera! We set up a day to get together for

a few hours.

Little did we know that the Wednesday we met a PJ's Coffee house

that it would be freezing cold and rainy and cloudy! But hey we

can't control everything right!

We grabbed a cup of coffee and hot chocolate and went to work:-)

So after spending a couple hours going through composing a picture,

to how to use her settings etc. We headed outside to a nearby church

that has a huge covering over the front and worked on a few

projects!

Michelle walked away shooting in manual mode:-)

So proud of her!!! Keep it up girl!

Thanks for such an awesome session!

Great Adventures | Erin Rachel Photography

There is nothing like spending the day exploring

and discovering new places.

My friend, Melissa, and I set off before sunrise headed

to St. Francisville, La for a day full of fun.

The drive over went from downtown city life to the

beautiful country side. As we drove the highway out to St. Francisville,

we saw beautiful countryside and gorgeous homes.

We were oohing and awwing over the mansions and houses.

St. Francisville is small and quaint, simple and sweet,

beautiful and safe.

We were told that it was safe for us two girls to walk around

town alone, as long as we didn't walk out in front of a car!

That told us how safe it was:-)

The sights were beautiful...gorgeous oak trees,

lovely homes, brick sidewalks lining the streets,

graveyards dating back to the civil war,

ornate iron fences, beautiful landscape, old church buildings,

beautiful wooden doors and yummy healthy food at Magnolia Cafe'.

After staying in the town for a few hours we got in the car

and drove around looking at the plantation homes.

Thanks to a self-timer we have a few "friend" shots

together!

Thanks to a wonderful friend I actually have pictures of

Me:-) As the photographer I laugh and say

that in years to come there will be no proof

that I was living because I'm always behind the camera!!!!!! ha

After exploring St. Francisville we came back through

Baton Rouge and got a wild hair to explore it!

We stopped off at the Louisiana State Capitol then I let Melissa

drive because I CAN'T parallel park!!!! I just told you!

I can't parallel park and I don't want to learn while

there are 5 other cars behind me:-)

So we then drove around downtown Baton Rouge,

saw the Governor's mansion and drove around the same block 4 times fighting

one way streets and looking for

a parallel parking spot to get coffee...with no luck we hit the interstate home

and hit up the old faithful Starbucks!

Our last stop was a little bit of shopping in Hammond:-)

Such an awesome day with a great friend making memories!
