Personal Stuff - My Lovely Family (Baton Rouge Family Photographer)

It’s not often that I put my own family in the spotlight. I thought, however, it might be nice to give everyone a glimpse into who they are and what they are about. I’ve got three (yes 3!) kids and a lovely wife who all go to great lengths to withstand my artistic “sensibilities”.

We recently took a trip to Natchez Trace State Park. It’s a great park that’s about 30 minutes from Jackson, Tn… where my in-laws reside. Well… I don’t consider them in-laws because they love me and my family so much. They truly are a second set of parents. We all spent a few days swimming, riding, hiking, camp-firing, and whatever else you can think of to do during the summer at a state park.

I spent a lot of late, late nights by the water’s edge… photographing… and contemplating the nature of life’s twists and turns. There is something magical about being out in nature in the middle of the night. It really puts into perspective how small and fragile we all are… and how our place in this world, individually, isn’t quite as large as we think it is. It’s kind of spooky too, lol.

Enough philosophy. Take a gander at our wonderful earth… and my even more wonderful fam. God knows where I’d be without them…

Ian… my youngest

Tabitha… give her older brother the treatment.

Simon… our oldest.

The coolest Father-in-law in the world.

… and the coolest Mother-in-law!

my better half… Alicia.

Ian lost a battle with some concrete steps… resulting in a “colorful” forehead.

CHEERS! Shelby

FYI… we are NOT in the government witness protection program. My wife and kids wear sunglasses all the time because they are so cool, lol!
