The holidays were a blur this year. A joyful, foggy, sleepless blur. I had my third baby in mid-December and then we drove to Texas to be with our family for Christmas. It was a LOT of fun but I'm only just now starting to feel like we're back in a "normal" routine. It's a new normal. With 3 kids. I'm still figuring it out....  I'm not very good at taking pictures when I'm groggy and

I met Rachel last year through a mutual friend and then a couple of months ago I got to take some studio portraits of her and get to know her better. She's an artist and makes gorgeous jewelry. See those earrings? She also happens to be really beautiful and a lot of fun, too, so I was SUPER DUPER excited to do her engagement session a couple of weeks ago. Turns out her fiancé (whom I met for

I'm behind on this post by several weeks, but it makes it no less special. : ) My sweet friends Amanda and Philip got married last month. I'm not booking ANY weddings right now (pregnant and home with two kids) but they asked me to do a fun little "unboxed" photo booth for their reception and I said, "YES!!! I'd LOVE to!!" Amanda picked the fabric and made or bought all the props. I sewed the

It's a cool, rainy morning. I tried to get some work done, but the kids' requests to turn the living room into a fort city won me over. It seems like the perfect weekend to spend with the ones you love and savor every second. Here are some pics from our morning. My thoughts and prayers are with our country as we reflect on the 10 year anniversary this weekend. Photos and videos from that

In early June I had the pleasure of working with Second Presbyterian Church in Memphis, TN to get some new photos for their website. Guided by one of their graphic designers, I was set loose to get shots of the church on a typical Sunday morning and evening. It was a great experience and everyone was incredibly warm and friendly. I hope I get to work with them again. Check out their redesigned

Working off the high from the St. Louis Shot Party a few weeks ago, I've been working hard to give my logo and website a makeover. I still have a little more tweaking to do, but it's finally ready to go!!! Check it out here www.roxanaperdue.com My friend Alyssa and I had a blast at the conference and we even made a new friend: Allison Nichole Becker gave a very inspirational talk about always

I've been a terrible blogger, but I've got a few new things in the works. Stay tuned for a new website!! This weekend I'm excited to be attending the St. Louis Shot Party where I'm especially thrilled to hear husband/wife photography team Bobbi + Mike!! More soon!!!!

I'm not a studio photographer because I love the excitement and variety of location photography, but I have the equipment to set up a small studio and I love to pull it out (especially on rainy, gloomy days like yesterday) and play with it. I tried to bribe my children with cookies and snacks so they would smile and stand still for me, but they ended up having the most fun with some of my older

These two siblings had birthdays recently, so we did a fun little shoot last week to celebrate how big they are. : ) So so cute.

I love this family. I've known the mom since college and she's been a great friend through the years. Now that we live in the same city it's fun to share our lives as moms and get our kids together. Little W is 3 months old now and it's been really fun to see him grow! (I love those cheeks!) We had a fun time in their backyard on a gorgeous sunny saturday.

I've got my portrait work that I love and am really enjoying again but I'm always working on personal work, too. The subject matter varies (flowers, landscapes, people) and some years I don't do as much but right now I'm really interested in capturing my mom life and the changing landscape that is my untidy house. Maybe because I live it every day but also maybe because when I think about how

I had a rough week last week with both of my kids sick....with a stomach bug. I'm pretty sure I did 15 loads of laundry in just a few days. I'm behind in my editing, but this week we're back to "normal" and I'm looking forward to a fun photo shoot tomorrow with two siblings. I'll be updating the blog more soon. Happy Monday!! I hope it's a great week for everyone.

I took pics of this baby boy last month before I had my blog set up, so I thought I'd post them now so we can compare when I photograph him next month and see how much he's grown!! One of my favorite pics is of his sweet grandpa kissing his cheek.

This little cutie just turned 1 year old. He and his parents braved a windy day in Forest Park for a fun little photo shoot to celebrate and I'm glad they did! He's a happy little guy and I love how much his face lights up when he smiles. So. Stinkin'. Adorable.

I got to meet this awesome family last weekend and I totally fell in love with this little boy. Seriously. SO CUTE!! Don't you just LOVE that smile?!!

I went to Memphis, Tennessee last weekend for some special photo sessions and I had a lot of fun. So much fun, in fact that I'm already planning my next trip in May. (I love Memphis! It's really beautiful this time of year.) Stay tuned for the exact dates and locations. Let me know if you're interested so I can give you more info and sign you up asap!

After a year of sweet baby-ness she is moving on to the toddler world. It's fun to watch her trying to do more on her own and trying to keep up with her big brother. At every phase I'm sure that each one is my favorite, but I think 12months is definitely my favorite.
