Here are some of the images that I took at the Pink Ribbon Gala on Wednesday night. The owners of The Perfect Wedding Guide asked me to take some portraits of the models in their gowns for their website, magazine, advertising, etc. I think we got some awesome ones and wanted to share. I really enjoyed the Louisiana State Museum and had no clue how cool it is in there… visit if you haven’t! Thanks to Erin Guedry for all of your help with the lighting and help at the booth… I have awesome friends! Not many people would help to promote their “competitors” business and that is why you rock Miss Guedry!!! Well one of the reasons anyway = )

Here are a few of my favs from another session out at Rosedown in St. Francisville. This is Jaimie, Kevin and their precious boys Griffith and Gaven. Griffith had a great time looking for bugs and hamming it up for the camera. Thanks yall for allowing me to capture this time in your families life!

Here are a few from one of my sessions this past Saturday at Rosedown Plantation in St. Francisville. The grounds are so beautiful there and really come to life with these sweet kiddos running through! Thanks to Jeremiah & Whitney for giving me the honor of photographing your awesome family! Here a few of their handsome boys Jacob &  Zachary who made Miss Missy work for her money and sweet baby Caroline!

These are some portraits from my latest session. These 2 “cutie pi’s”  belong to one of my college roomies, friend and sister for life Lauren! Aubrey is a proud big sis to baby Shelby and she was a big help during the session. I had a great time catching up with an old friend and meeting her sweet girls.. Thanks Lauren! Here are some of my favs…

Let’s Scare off Hunger

September 10, 2009

Melissa Cannon Photography and Jouette Photography are happy to host a food drive for the First United Methodist Food Pantry on Mattie St. here in Denham Springs. Their food pantry helps out families in emergency situations who are in need of food. They have recently seen an increase in families needing their services and we would like to do our part to give back to the community that has been so good to us.

It will take place on Halloween day at Melissa’s studio which is located at 188 Veterans Blvd. Suite B Denham Springs, LA 70726 from 12 -4pm.

So stop by with at least 5 can food items or non-perishable food items to have a free portrait taken in your Spooktacular Halloween costume and receive a free 4×6 print. Appointments will not be taken so make sure to get here early so you don’t miss out!

I will be at Rosedown Plantation in St. Francisville on October 3rd and have spots available if you are interested in having a portrait session there. The plantation charges $5 per person to take formal portraits there which is a steal for a plantation home! Check out their website absolutely beautiful! http://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/louisiana/ros.htm
Imagine that on the front of your Christmas card!

Call today for the information and to schedule  your session before it books up!

I am very excited to announce that I will now be carrying Kimbra fine jewelry and gifts and Snaptotes handbags, totes and accessories. I am most pleased that by carrying these new lines I will be able to help my clients spend less time running around town looking for gifts and be a one stop shop for them. How does it work you ask? Simple, after your session you will come back into the studio one week later to view and select your images. You can bring whomever you want with you to help make decisions. You will be shown a sample of these 2 lines and also other photographic products and we will work together to make all of your purchase decisions. I will notify you when your order is ready and all items will be gift wrapped when you pick them up or I even deliver!

It is that time again… dare I say it… Christmas is fast approaching! It is time once again to start thinking about gifts for the person who has everything and trying to find time to actually go and get it. Well let me help you! I have the perfect gift that no one will return or exchange. I can have it gift wrapped and waiting for you to pick up, or I even deliver. What is this unbelievable gift? A family portrait of course!
