Thank you to all those who stopped by my daytime photo booth at the Mardi Gras on the Bay-ou ~ Family Fun Day! I wore many hats that day and was running around like crazy in preparation for our night time event, but if I snapped your pic, you can find it in the album below!

Stay tuned for updates on next year - we're going bigger and better! 🎉

Mardi Gras Massive 2024 After Hours Party 🔥

The Coos Bass Collective throws one hell of a party! The Mardi Gras Massive 2024 After Hours Party was WILD! Y'all are cray cray and I freaking LOVE IT 🤪🎉

My second shooter and I collectively shot nearly 6K RAW images and a handful of video between 25K and 40K ISO in order to keep up with all you party animals through the lasers and fog machine! Needless to say there's a LOT to comb through and it's a process to convert to what Facebook can handle without crashing our devices, there is still plenty more to come! 🤣

Shares and tags are welcome! Don't see your highlight yet? It's coming! 😘

Thank you to all those for the overwhelming show of support last night! My involvement with the Coos Bass Collective has been one of my very favorite hats to wear these last 3 years. Last night was hands down one for the books! 🎶🎉

And a very special thank you to my second shooter operating under Curtis Candids for last night's event. Did you all get to meet my better half? He's actually a very talented landscape and event photographer who refused a badge under his own name 😅 He also happens to be my sweetheart and totally gave me a run for my money! We can't wait to share all of our images with you! Just please be patient as we comb through the nearly 5K we collectively took, including video 🔥 Vernon W. Rice

Be sure to follow Joey Harper and his project! He's already got some killer shots from last night up on his page! His work is deep, real, artistic, and perfectly captures the raw passion of the evening!

Don't forget to follow our pages for updates on our next event, and be sure to follow my new Curtis Candids Productions page on TikTok, I will be channeling most everything event & photo related through it now instead of my personal. Link in the comments ⬇️

Big things happening people. Big things!! ✌️📸

It absolutely warms my heart to see this behind the scenes TikTok and review of my complimentary Santa Photo collab with Get Yappy. 🥹❤️ Sharing with the permission of mama, along with a few of my photos from that day! Video in comments 😍⬇️

There's a reason you will never see absurd rates from me. You won't find print packages on my website, all my sessions come with a downloadable online album of high resolution images and a full print release of every photo, and I promise that will never change. I also promise to never limit the photos you receive from your session. I won't hold your memories hostage for a profit. If I'm happy enough with the image to display it, you're getting it in your album 🤷‍♀️❤️

I pride myself in offering out of the box, memorable and unique experiences from the custom details of my set ups, to the fun that I can guarantee we will have on your session! You're not paying a studio mortgage or an equipment loan off when you book with me. You're directly supporting a local family, and in return, I promise to continue to support you!

Thank you to all those who continue to support me, I am grateful beyond what words can express! Be sure to follow our pages and stay tuned for exciting things happening in 2024!

"You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout I'm telling you why..."

Santa Clause will definitely be coming back to town 😉🎅🎄

🎼You better not pout, you better not cry, Santa will be back next year!

I appreciate everyone's patience as I juggled edits, set up and programmed a new computer and re-installed all programs after the death of my trusty Mac in the middle of editing this session yesterday! Yikes! 🫣Wrapped up Christmas shopping, knocked out a marketing shoot for an upcoming event, re-processed over 700 RAW images and re-edited all for consistency, all while having a baby glued to my hip. PHEW! Happy Holidays everyone!

💚Those who requested their images remain off Facebook, check your emails shortly! Individual email links also going out for those on Santa's list! He's checking it twice! 😉

Gotta love technology🤦‍♀️ Been rocking my trusty Macbook Pro since 2013, I use it primarily for photo editing, and other than a few pixels that have gone out and a finicky scratch disk, it has been one hell of a laptop. I've refused Photoshop updates for years and take pride in hand editing each photo by hand, brush stroke by brush stroke. No mass batch edits or presets here, a LOT of love goes into your photos! Well, today my trusty macbook decided it was done... and wiped my memory card while at it... in the middle of edits. 😳

Fear not! It was just the .jpegs and our Nikon is set up to separate them from RAW onto a separate card, saving the day during these rare but possible occurrences.

Also, as much as I hate change, I knew this day was coming and had already replaced my laptop, to which your images are uploading (again) as we speak. Unfortunately, this means I have to accept change whether I like it or not and begin utilizing a new device and photoshop update sooner than I had intended.

So, enjoy this sneak peek of one of yesterday's cutest little ladies and stay tuned for the entire album!! 📸🎅🎄💚 (I may be biased, she IS my besties daughter after all!) 🥰

Entire album still ETA for tomorrow ✌️ I have a scheduled afternoon shoot and will be posting the link ASAP around tomorrow's busy schedule!

➡️ What does your weekend madness look like??
