Image X, New Orleans style : Candice

Last week I had an amazing opportunity to rock it with Jessica Claire in New Orleans. Not only is she one of my greatest friends but she can teach a "HE*L" of a work shop! 

The week started off with me meeting about 60 new amazing photographers, and it ended with me at a roulette table having the time of my life winning $170.00...wup wup. 

Through out the work shop there were times for all the students to take photos of models that Image X had provided. So here are a few shots I grab over 30 other photographers shoulders. 

I also had the opportunity to do a maternity shoot for my new photo friends Ryan and his wife. They are super cute together and they are way pumped at the thought of having their third child in the next few weeks. 

The trip was RAD! And I had such a blast helping J.Claire out!

Lastly I can not go with out giving a shout out to JEN BERRY! SHE IS KINDA AMAZING!  Her blog comment was stinking out of this world! She really took "sharing the love" to a whole new level. 





I know nothing about this guy other then he was super kind enough to let me take his Birthday photo as he made his way down the street. 
The Maternity shoot!..

Can I just say, you guys are amazing? By far my BIGGEST influence - as photographers and as people who love people! Thanks for the weekly dose of radness and smiles! :)

It's funny, I feel like I can almost tell your shots from Mark's shots. You definitely have an amazing eye not only for the shot but for the overall picture, pre-process to post-process. I really love your shot of the bride! Seeing these as "yours" kind of makes me more confident when I have a guess as to who shot what.

@ Kristen:
That is so funny! I did not know anyone could tell the photos apart... I thought we were the same. My wheels are turning now.
But I guess that means we are not the same person (thank goodness :)

Candice so glad you posted about Image-X, I along with hundreds of others wished I could have gone, but hopefully next year :) The pictures are great, the fifth maternity one with their reflection in the mirror is such a treasure!!

thanks for the maternity session, candice, i love the images, they're gorgeous! lets follow it up with a hot boudoir session once i'm done popping these babies out! i can't wait to show ryan when he gets home. if my mother stumbles upon them somehow she'll have a heart attack, but that's okay, i think the chance of that are slim ;) ha ha. xoxo erica
