New York - Sneak Peak

I returned from New York and few days ago, and am now playing catch up! Back to the old grind of things, before school starts in a couple of weeks!  

I had SO much fun in New York City the past week, it was an absolutely blast. Alison and Allen were so much fun, and made being in the city even better! Thank you so much, Alison and Allen, I can't wait for y'all to see all of the pictures!

Here are two that I picked out this morning. I haven't had much time to look at all of them, but these two caught my eye immediately. 

I hope you enjoyed! Thanks for stopping by! I currently have 6 shoots I'm working on, so keep checking back often - updates coming frequently!

Have a GREAT day!

Who Needs Color?!

Well, I'll admit, color adds to everything - but over the past few days, as I've prepared this blog post, I've realized the beauty of Sepia. So I decided this entire post should be done in that color scheme. I hope you enjoy!So you may be wondering what I've been up to lately, and why I haven't been blogging much AT ALL! well, this month I've worked on 4 weddings, 2 bridals, 2 engagement sessions, one senior, one family, and two kids. I've had a long month! and it's still not quite over! So Here's a sneak peak of what I've done since the beginning of the May! 

I went to Montreal, Canada, with my family! I loved it! Everyone speaks french, so I was in heaven - really got to practice a lot. 

This is me and my sister in the airport:

 

This an artistic shot from the horticulture gardens that caught my eye. I'll do another post of Montreal Pictures soon. 

 

Engagement: Malia & JD

 

This beautiful young lady and handsome young man are the kids of my great friend, Jennifer Robison, also a North Louisiana Photographer. 

In early may I was honored to shoot the wedding of Larah and Collin!

Then I took a trip to Shreveport to shoot the absolutely gorgeous wedding of Meredith and Stephen!

The Sunday after Meredith and Stephen's Wedding, I had the pleasure of working with another one of my great friends who also happens to be an amazing photographer - Kelly Moore. Since I was the second photographer there, I got to spend a little more time getting artistic shots of the details. ;) my favorites.... 

 

Oh Yeah - and my amazing-awesome friends are back to MY college/home town from their college lives away from home :) 

Well, guys, that is quite possibly the largest blog post I have done! I hope you enjoyed & feel updated!!! Check back often for the complete post on EACH of these previews!!! 

Have a GREAT day!

This week is my catch-up week, so if you don't here from this week, please call me and check in! Thanks again!!!

Thanks for looking! Hope you enjoyed!

I've Been Tagged!

I was tagged by a fellow photographer, Mandy Roberts, who did this on her blog - so I figured....why not?! a change for you to know me a little better.

What I was doing 10 years ago:
Um...this is embrassing. haha! 10 years ago I was almost 10 years old. :) I would have been a...what...5th grader? I was living in Arkansas at the time...and I don't remember much about then, because it was....well, when I was 10. ;) a much better question would be what will I be doing in 10 years....

Seven things on my To Do List today:
1) Ace Econ 202 Final
2) Study for business law 255 final tomorrow
3) begin studying for history 201 final on Thursday
4) Send off three orders to respective clients
5) Fill out photographer form for church for May 24th wedding
6) Put last weekend's wedding on computer and prepare for editing
7) Email clients - it's MONDAY....

Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
Just one billion? gah...what can you do what that these days?! hahha! JUST KIDDING. first thing I would do is pay off the house I live in, since that is the only "debt" our family has, but really, it's an investment if you think about it. Then I would take about $225 million and invest it heavily in mutual funds and my own diversified portfolio and of course, hire a few people to keep an eye on those investments for me. I would then give my parents and my sister plenty to make them comfortable for the rest of their lives....then I'd set up college funds for my future nieces and nephews so that they can go wherever they want to college without having to worry about anything but grades! Then I'd go to college myself (anywhere I wanted) and get my JD from a prestigious law school and my PhD in economics. Knowledge truly is power. I'd hope to land a good job for a large corporation and attempt to work my way up the ladder or possibly start a company of my own someday. The rest of the money I'd use to buy a nice, but modest house for myself, nothing too lavish, it's just me; a nice car and SUV, one for driving around to conserve gas, the SUV for hauling stuff. I would then enjoy life knowing I didn't have to worry about bills or costs or anything, I would just be able to live... I know most people say the first thing they'd do is QUIT THEIR JOB...but I'd be bored shirtless....there's no way in heck I'm quitting school or my job! I've gotta have SOMETHING to do! haha! I'd then give as much as I could to foundations like the American Cancer Society, The Alzheimer's Association, and help to find a cure for AIDS. I'd donate a lot to Louisiana Tech University and any other school which I choose to attend.

Three of my bad habits:
- I bite my nails...I'm trying to stop
- I eat...too much
- I don't exercise...enough

Five places I’ve lived:
I've only lived in Three Places
- Ruston, LA
- Magnolia, AR
- Alexandria, LA

Five jobs I’ve had:
I've only had two :)
- Assistant at Louisiana Tech University Admissions Office
- Owner and Photographer for Ross Frazier Photography!

Changes Changes Everywhere!

To keep up with the photography world, changes are needed constantly to stay ahead of the game! I had really let my website get bogged down with shoots that were months and months old - if not years! Although they may have been some of my favorite pictures, I needed to update them with pictures that reflect my most recent styles and shoots. I have accomplished that goal! I'm not completely done, because it's a long process to upload everything, but what I've gotten is a great start, I think.

Here are some screen shots of the new additions and changes:

New Splash Page:

New Homepage Slideshow Images:

Four (about to be Five) New Featured Albums:

I decided to simplify the website by all black backgrounds with no gradient and plain white text. you'll notice an increase in the number of black and white images to the galleries as well for the more classic and clean look. I'd really appreciate you going to take a look around and let me know what you think! Thanks!

Hope you have a GREAT day!
