The dishes and laundry were done and I was putting off the dusting and vacuuming. So one of my best friends and I decided that we were going to check out the LSU Rural Life Museum. It's in Baton Rouge, even though after driving down the long curvy road, you sort of forget you were just in the busy construction of Essen Lane. <br /><br />Just some exploring and taking in the sites. In some parts....I felt like I was in my Dad's shed. The old saddles and horse equipment, the barn, all the old wood.....looks just like stuff he would love. :o)<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a

And that does NOT excite me. <br />He came into this world and within minutes my camera was in his face. Why can't he learn....it's just going to happen? I'm going to take his picture. <br />So after he threw a fit...and I mean he cut me some eyes, pointed his finger, and mumbled some things that I don't know if I really want to know what he was trying to say....I bribed him. I promised to take him to PawPaw's house and he could ride the tractor. AND....IT WORKED! He put on his vest, he giggled outside and he stood in front of my camera.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8088144134/" title="LRP (1 of 24) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (1 of 24)" height="508" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8186/8088144134_1aabe1f723_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8088144046/" title="LRP (3 of 24) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (3 of 24)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8334/8088144046_3f7c5b0886_z.jpg" width="418" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8088141882/" title="LRP (7 of 24) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (7 of 24)" height="508" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8324/8088141882_e7c77f64ee_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8088141816/" title="LRP (9 of 24) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (9 of 24)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8192/8088141816_00b9f976dc_z.jpg" width="440" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8088141696/" title="LRP (15 of 24) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (15 of 24)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8192/8088141696_6f243e4e99_z.jpg" width="494" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8088141483/" title="LRP (20 of 24) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (20 of 24)" height="350" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8050/8088141483_536137257b_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8088141413/" title="LRP (23 of 24) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (23 of 24)" height="508" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8472/8088141413_b02307980a_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8088141578/" title="LRP (17 of 24) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (17 of 24)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8194/8088141578_b553427ba1_z.jpg" width="418" /></a></div>Lacey Rabalaishttps://plus.google.com/115094870353992421302noreply@blogger.com0Bordelonville, 7, LA, USA31.1058846 -91.907578831.0786936 -91.9470608 31.133075599999998 -91.868096799999989tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956944220870241098.post-49182966642132303712012-10-15T09:00:00.000-05:002012-10-15T09:00:09.596-05:00GIVEAWAY: Organic Bloom FrameSo many people have seen the <a href="http://theorganicbloom.com/">Organic Bloom frames</a>.

I have an obsession with paper and notebooks and lists, etc. I probably have a journal in every room in our home and I love writing little notes and lists and marking off things that I've completed. Ever since the Pursuit 31 Conference, I've tried to be a little more organized with my list. One BIG list for things to do. One BIG list of things that I'd love to accomplish.<br />Obviously, I have personal goals and professional goals. Don't we all have separate goals for each corner of our life? One day, I hope to be a mother, and I also hope to be able to do photography full time. <br /><div style="line-height: 0px; padding-bottom: 2px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/75294624990343574/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://media-cache-ec2.pinterest.com/upload/75294624990343574_AhY7oK9X_c.jpg" width="425" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="float: left; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><div style="color: #76838b; font-size: 10px;">Source: <a href="http://kmaddalena.tumblr.com/" style="color: #76838b; font-size: 10px; text-decoration: underline;">kmaddalena.tumblr.com</a> via <a href="http://pinterest.com/cbchapman27/" style="color: #76838b; font-size: 10px; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Katie</a> on <a href="http://pinterest.com/" style="color: #76838b; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Pinterest</a></div></div><br /><br />Sometimes it's hard to just let go. To plan as much as we can and then we have to turn it over. If we just continue to make plans we loose sight on what we are doing now. I can honestly say that I have lost sight of what's going on in my day to day life because I'm too busy worrying about the future and what we're going to do/accomplish/have.<br /><br /><br /><div style="line-height: 0px; padding-bottom: 2px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/75435362478864939/" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://media-cache0.pinterest.com/upload/175077504234406676_XQpF9R6m_c.jpg" width="488" /></a></div></div><div style="float: left; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><div style="color: #76838b; font-size: 10px;">Source: <a href="http://printablescripture.blogspot.com/" style="color: #76838b; font-size: 10px; text-decoration: underline;">printablescripture.blogspot.com</a> via <a href="http://pinterest.com/lacerab/" style="color: #76838b; font-size: 10px; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Lacey</a> on <a href="http://pinterest.com/" style="color: #76838b; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Pinterest</a></div></div><br /><br />J is always telling me to stop worrying. And worrying...I'm a pro at that. I can worry about the smallest things. But I'm working on that little quirk about myself. I'm working on turning all my worries over. Working on living my life day to day. <br /><br />Yes, I have goals and plans and dreams. But they aren't my road map. I don't have to hit each mark. They are just guidelines for things that I would be blessed to accomplish.<br /><br /><br />Lacey Rabalaishttps://plus.google.com/115094870353992421302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956944220870241098.post-37706727883751812712012-10-12T10:09:00.002-05:002012-10-12T10:09:53.521-05:00Woodlands Bride Feature-----{Laura & Matt}<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm so honored to have been accepted for an online feature for Matt & Laura's engagement pictures.

Well that was the Pursuit 31 Conference for me. Pursuit 31 is a group of women who are photographers and Godly women just trying to make it in the world and have successful businesses. Pursuit 31 is based off of Proverbs 31 and the quest to be that woman.<br />When the conference was first announced, I wasn't sure if it was totally for me. The speakers that were attending were amazing, but I was concerned with cost and transportation and all those other things we all worry about. Fortunately, I took a leap of faith. I signed up and planned to drive to Rome, GA to the Winshape Retreat. <br />Trying to be patient the days leading up to conference, I worked, packed, and made sure my car was ready to make the 8.5 hour drive. Some people thought I was crazy but the drive really had beautiful views and a lot of belting out some Strawberry Wine (and some other 90's tunes).<br />At first site of Winshape I was so impressed. The staff is absolutely wonderful and caring. They made us all feel so welcome and taken care of.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8078029271/" title="LRP (44 of 49) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (44 of 49)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8470/8078029271_ba28dcae86_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <br />The first day it rained...but don't worry there were umbrellas at every door. The weather was amazing and gorgeous and oh so much more pleasant that the hot humidity of Louisiana. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8078029785/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;" title="LRP (28 of 49) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (28 of 49)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8194/8078029785_6a85e1e0df_z.jpg" width="418" /></a></div><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8078030555/" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" title="LRP (14 of 49) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (14 of 49)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8472/8078030555_0fa1da0cd6_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />So we each had a roommate. Mine was the always sweet<a href="http://klpphotography.com/"> Kristin Peddicord of KLP Photography</a>. We seriously laughed until we cried, almost the entire day. <br />While there, we listened to speakers. <a href="http://www.karen-stott.com/">Karen Stott</a>, <a href="http://zachandjody.com/">Jody Gray</a>, <a href="http://katelynjames.com/">Katelyn James</a>, <a href="http://noeyehasseen.com/">Alicia Candelora,</a> <a href="http://www.justinmarantz.com/">Mary Marantz,</a> <a href="http://bobanddawndavis.com/">Dawn Davis</a>, and <a href="http://www.janejohnsonphotography.com/">Jane Johnson</a>.<br />The pinch-my-I'm-dreaming thing about this conference is that not only did we hear these fabulous successful women talk about photography, they discussed their faith and testimonies. Then we mingled, we ate together, we prayed together, we worshiped together. Who would have ever thought that this would really happen?<br /><br />Rest and rejuvenation were supposed to be part of the plan of this conference, but I feel like love, friendship, and a fire lit inside of all of us is what really happened. I am blessed to have met such amazing women. Blessed to have made new friends. Blessed to laugh and dance with some of the most successful women in the industry. Crazy how life happens. <br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8078030605/" title="LRP (13 of 49) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (13 of 49)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8467/8078030605_9558e46122_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8078031459/" title="LRP (1 of 49) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (1 of 49)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8467/8078031459_8d2cf738a3_z.jpg" width="418" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8078022498/" title="LRP (2 of 49) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (2 of 49)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8046/8078022498_534a491f39_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8078031241/" title="LRP (3 of 49) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (3 of 49)" height="328" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8043/8078031241_5de68f5228_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8078022244/" title="LRP (4 of 49) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (4 of 49)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8467/8078022244_369852e87d_z.jpg" width="465" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8078031037/" title="LRP (5 of 49) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (5 of 49)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8336/8078031037_54155d970a_z.jpg" width="418" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8078030891/" title="LRP (7 of 49) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (7 of 49)" height="508" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8053/8078030891_975e34ffb8_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8078021846/" title="LRP (9 of 49) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (9 of 49)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8468/8078021846_c3980f5ae8_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8078021786/" title="LRP (10 of 49) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (10 of 49)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8334/8078021786_14b9a5ece4_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8078021786/" title="LRP (10 of 49) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (10 of 49)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8334/8078021786_14b9a5ece4_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8078030407/" title="LRP (15 of 49) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (15 of 49)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8183/8078030407_a5716766b4_z.jpg" width="418" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8078030317/" title="LRP (16 of 49) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (16 of 49)" height="482" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8470/8078030317_6a56f039c1_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8078030227/" title="LRP (19 of 49) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (19 of 49)" height="328" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8187/8078030227_61ea5e71ea_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8078030165/" title="LRP (21 of 49) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (21 of 49)" height="328" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8047/8078030165_205812120d_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8078029821/" title="LRP (27 of 49) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (27 of 49)" height="328" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8475/8078029821_5c9215056b_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8078029889/" title="LRP (26 of 49) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (26 of 49)" height="523" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8054/8078029889_fbc261f648_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8078029709/" title="LRP (29 of 49) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (29 of 49)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8463/8078029709_c8bd19032f_z.jpg" width="465" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8078020640/" title="LRP (36 of 49) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (36 of 49)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8183/8078020640_b4742e6d63_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8078020588/" title="LRP (37 of 49) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (37 of 49)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8464/8078020588_cb0eb1e3b9_z.jpg" width="569" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8078029475/" title="LRP (40 of 49) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (40 of 49)" height="508" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8043/8078029475_8cb11684dd_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> </div>The drive home was one of a mind racing, life changing thoughts.

It's a full blown bundle of answered prayers and God knows what he is doing. <br />Emelie and Ray are such wonderful people and really good friends. We all anxiously waited each step of their adoption. Waiting for a text, a call, or just a facebook status update. <br /><div style="text-align: center;">I was completely honored when Emelie asked me to come over and take pictures of Liam. I was also excited that I just got to love on him. He is SUPER CUTE. I loved watching Em be such a great mom. To see her so full of love and watch he swell with pride as she looked at the back of my camera to see if his image looked good. :) I can't wait to watch Liam grow and to see Em and Ray be such awesome parents. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8028070783/" title="LRP (14 of 67) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (14 of 67)" height="328" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8179/8028070783_3d131fcaf0_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8028070695/" title="LRP (24 of 67) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (24 of 67)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8310/8028070695_67f6373747_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8028070637/" title="LRP (29 of 67) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (29 of 67)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8458/8028070637_dd2ac404ac_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8028070323/" title="LRP (38 of 67) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (38 of 67)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8455/8028070323_3b3b3a6ba5_z.jpg" width="314" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8074033795/" title="LRP (28 of 67) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (28 of 67)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8040/8074033795_71e8402255_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8074033749/" title="LRP (57 of 67) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (57 of 67)" height="248" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8037/8074033749_f35df7a8ca_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8028065944/" title="LRP (55 of 67) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (55 of 67)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8461/8028065944_b69ae1df62_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8074033693/" title="LRP (58 of 67) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (58 of 67)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8038/8074033693_969c27eae1_z.jpg" width="418" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8074033625/" title="LRP (67 of 67) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (67 of 67)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8176/8074033625_9ff3999226_z.jpg" width="418" /></a></div>Lacey Rabalaishttps://plus.google.com/115094870353992421302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956944220870241098.post-3891603134771871882012-10-09T17:26:00.006-05:002012-10-09T17:27:32.241-05:00Avery Island {Exploring}Life is definitely crazy. I feel like it gets crazier every day. Each week there is something else that we need to do, one more thing to add to the list. I've learned that if you want to do something, you have to make time for it. In the last few weeks, J and I have had crazy schedules. We were tired of not seeing each other, so we decided to plan a day to do something new and fun. We drove the almost 2 hour drive to Lafayette, Louisiana and explored <a href="http://www.tabasco.com/avery-island/">Avery Island</a>.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072241323/" title="LRP (1 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (1 of 37)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8173/8072241323_bd49b88b5c_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <br />Tabasco is made there. As in...grown, picked, processed, and bottled. At first I had some sniffles from the pepper smell but I actually think it might have helped the sinus stuff....if only for a minute.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072241261/" title="LRP (3 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (3 of 37)" height="328" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8312/8072241261_a5a172a506_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072241209/" title="LRP (5 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (5 of 37)" height="248" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8317/8072241209_477cb5d04d_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072235206/" title="LRP (6 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (6 of 37)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8316/8072235206_3881dc9b35_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072235126/" title="LRP (7 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (7 of 37)" height="328" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8462/8072235126_507949ecea_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> We walked through the plant and then walked to the country store. Once inside the country store we tried all of the sauces and much more. I can't say I tried everything....J was a lot more brave than I and he tried the ice creams and the coke. Crazy. We came home with a large bag of stuff.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072241035/" title="LRP (9 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (9 of 37)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8317/8072241035_6d4a61cf0d_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> After the Tabasco tour, we headed to the <a href="http://www.tabasco.com/avery-island/jungle-gardens/">Jungle Gardens</a>. It has tons of plants and lot of walking trails. We would drive a little, park, then walk a little. It was a little hotter than both of us would have liked but we stuck it out and had a great time.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072240943/" title="LRP (10 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (10 of 37)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8181/8072240943_794dcc9bb0_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072240863/" title="LRP (11 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (11 of 37)" height="328" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8458/8072240863_0bf00771d8_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072234822/" title="LRP (13 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (13 of 37)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8321/8072234822_5ab433329b_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072234752/" title="LRP (14 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (14 of 37)" height="423" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8041/8072234752_55a4e4a1a8_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072240623/" title="LRP (15 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (15 of 37)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8042/8072240623_55769ba34c_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072240549/" title="LRP (16 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (16 of 37)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8175/8072240549_c3dc5361d6_z.jpg" width="440" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072240397/" title="LRP (19 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (19 of 37)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8311/8072240397_919f56ba76_z.jpg" width="418" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072240255/" title="LRP (20 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (20 of 37)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8441/8072240255_d33b6f73e3_z.jpg" width="418" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072240019/" title="LRP (22 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (22 of 37)" height="508" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8030/8072240019_193df99aa9_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072234254/" title="LRP (21 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (21 of 37)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8318/8072234254_e08ab871fa_z.jpg" width="418" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072234010/" title="LRP (24 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (24 of 37)" height="510" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8317/8072234010_4ecef9c256_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072233912/" title="LRP (26 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (26 of 37)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8316/8072233912_8df4bbd307_z.jpg" width="465" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072239763/" title="LRP (29 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (29 of 37)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8175/8072239763_314f08e995_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072233780/" title="LRP (30 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (30 of 37)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8461/8072233780_ba3ebf1792_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072239671/" title="LRP (31 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (31 of 37)" height="508" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8178/8072239671_4ca13c7a84_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072233586/" title="LRP (36 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (36 of 37)" height="376" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8041/8072233586_53c6f427dc_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072233686/" title="LRP (33 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (33 of 37)" height="328" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8182/8072233686_8631f0a328_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/8072233628/" title="LRP (35 of 37) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (35 of 37)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8453/8072233628_6edf753999_z.jpg" width="418" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> The gardens would be a great location for photo shoots.

They somehow seem to truly be so happy and always full of life. They bring such joy. I first photographed this family last year {<a href="http://www.laceyrabalais.net/2011/05/bunch-of-goldens-their-people.html">SEE IT HERE</a>} and I was so touched when I was asked to come back. <br />This time was mostly to focus on Maggie. She's 11 years old, a very young 11, I might add. But her "parents" love her and they wanted the additional pictures to hold on to forever. <br />Maggie is spunky. She rules the roost, does her own thing, and don't think about getting on her bad side. She will face away from you and there is NO WAY she's letting you get her tennis ball. Luckily Maggie got to play around during our shoot. I was definitely more focused on her and what she likes to do rather than getting her to really do what I wanted her to do.

I know you KNOW they are special and super cute.

However the trees in our front yard have probably seen better times. Two months after we bought the house Gustav hit and we watched the roof and our trees blow away. Four years later, we are trying to decide what types of trees should replace them. Hmmm... I'll be googling away today trying to find something perfect. We've talked about Bradford Pears or Japanese Maples. Too many options but I'd love for them to match the house. The current one blooms pink which clashes with the blue and white house with the red door. Hopefully we find something perfect!!!<br />Until then...we will live with what we have. :o)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7921550688/" title="LRP (6 of 9) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (6 of 9)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8452/7921550688_d265781f4e_z.jpg" width="569" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7921550496/" title="LRP (8 of 9) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (8 of 9)" height="328" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8037/7921550496_1d4e94d30f_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7921550298/" title="LRP (9 of 9) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (9 of 9)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8300/7921550298_d5ed43ba29_z.jpg" width="418" /></a></div>Lacey Rabalaishttps://plus.google.com/115094870353992421302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956944220870241098.post-11142626678176617532012-09-02T06:00:00.000-05:002012-09-03T09:17:59.064-05:00Enjoying the Weather.....After the hurricane, thankfully it continued to rain. The storm wasn't horrible for us...just the lack of power. Thankfully we have a generator and the cable wasn't out. We moved our rocking chairs to the carport, cooked on the grill, and enjoyed the little breeze that we had. <br /><div>Rosie, one of our pups, is obsessed with James.

Ironically that's when <a href="http://www.ashleygoodwinblog.com/">Ashley Goodwin</a> started this challenge. Oh well...I'm going to catch up today...I'm determined. This challenge is supposed to make me stop and capture the simple things around me, to shoot more, to blog more. I do feel like I haven't been shooting for myself as much as I want. I never want picking up my camera to be a chore...I love my camera and I love capturing life and love and so much fun.<br /><br />So get ready for a month of blogging and shooting.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7921551100/" title="LRP (1 of 9) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="LRP (1 of 9)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8171/7921551100_7f6fd62234_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Lacey Rabalaishttps://plus.google.com/115094870353992421302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956944220870241098.post-30677022393376836082012-08-24T08:00:00.000-05:002012-08-24T08:00:07.751-05:00Being A Guest Blogger for KLP PhotographySo I was so honored when Kristin of KLP Photography asked me to be a guest blogger while she is on vacation.

Lily is a beautiful white german shepard that is 11 years old. She really enjoyed getting scratched and love on by her "mom" while she rolled around in the grass and on the floor. She spent some of the session searching for the cat and the rest of it was spent enjoying some treats. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7817804768/" title="Clients (2 of 50) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (2 of 50)" height="248" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8307/7817804768_9769199a56_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7817804652/" title="Clients (6 of 50) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (6 of 50)" height="382" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8282/7817804652_55edc1d2f5_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7817804472/" title="Clients (9 of 50) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (9 of 50)" height="248" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8441/7817804472_6cd0d99a16_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7817804352/" title="Clients (11 of 50) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (11 of 50)" height="508" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8302/7817804352_4d27173451_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7817804188/" title="Clients (13 of 50) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (13 of 50)" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7279/7817804188_57257d876e_z.jpg" width="616" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7817804038/" title="Clients (18 of 50) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (18 of 50)" height="328" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8423/7817804038_2c6c44c0e8_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7817803808/" title="Clients (23 of 50) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (23 of 50)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8432/7817803808_2f62b451da_z.jpg" width="440" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7817803552/" title="Clients (27 of 50) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (27 of 50)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8293/7817803552_22d12ba368_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7817803436/" title="Clients (29 of 50) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (29 of 50)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8291/7817803436_a25b4f9e80_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7817803234/" title="Clients (40 of 50) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (40 of 50)" height="328" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8431/7817803234_23698eb6b6_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7817803036/" title="Clients (42 of 50) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (42 of 50)" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7122/7817803036_ae74401a1b_z.jpg" width="494" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7817802888/" title="Clients (49 of 50) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (49 of 50)" height="328" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8443/7817802888_15e7d2358b_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> </div>Lacey Rabalaishttps://plus.google.com/115094870353992421302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956944220870241098.post-27906312368508719732012-08-15T08:53:00.001-05:002012-08-15T08:53:44.519-05:00Jaylen {Celebrating 1st Birthday}<span style="font-size: large;">It's</span> amazing how fast children grown. Jaylen has grown up so fast. The last year has flown before everyone's eyes. His family is more in love with him everyday...you can see it, you can feel it. He is a very loved little boy with a great family. <br />Picking a location is always hard for clients. The old general store was suggested and they decided to go for it. Coming up with ideas, crafts were made and a cake was purchased. Jaylen didn't like the cake. Poor thing didn't want to get dirty but his dad helped him out. He was hot and by the end of the shoot tired. I think everyone was. But it was a fun time. Time spent with family capturing memories to remember such a great time.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7788250952/" title="Clients (1 of 92) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (1 of 92)" height="350" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8308/7788250952_7bc7911287_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7788250818/" title="Clients (4 of 92) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (4 of 92)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8288/7788250818_9f2d77a512_z.jpg" width="569" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7788250698/" title="Clients (8 of 92) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (8 of 92)" height="508" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7122/7788250698_9733c6d48c_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7788250552/" title="Clients (14 of 92) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (14 of 92)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8432/7788250552_1147efe368_z.jpg" width="314" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7788250366/" title="Clients (15 of 92) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (15 of 92)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8448/7788250366_614be423d3_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7788250142/" title="Clients (21 of 92) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (21 of 92)" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7121/7788250142_2955ac8c5b_z.jpg" width="418" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7788249996/" title="Clients (26 of 92) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (26 of 92)" height="248" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8301/7788249996_720ecba69e_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7788249888/" title="Clients (46 of 92) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (46 of 92)" height="355" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8287/7788249888_f287ed7000_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7788249668/" title="Clients (55 of 92) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (55 of 92)" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8424/7788249668_8ffb035f9b_z.jpg" width="531" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7788249792/" title="Clients (52 of 92) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (52 of 92)" height="350" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8301/7788249792_6f4fe62dcb_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7788249526/" title="Clients (69 of 92) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (69 of 92)" height="350" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8442/7788249526_ec23e498e5_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7788249414/" title="Clients (79 of 92) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (79 of 92)" height="248" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7268/7788249414_6c1cb68a01_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> </div>Lacey Rabalaishttps://plus.google.com/115094870353992421302noreply@blogger.com0Baton Rouge, LA, USA30.4582829 -91.140319630.3487844 -91.2982481 30.5677814 -90.9823911tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956944220870241098.post-8235540323337583662012-08-10T07:10:00.000-05:002012-08-10T07:13:17.384-05:00Senior Model Program for LRP<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aUFLBYRBGNI/UCT5YvbmM6I/AAAAAAAAAI4/HcXRfi5xjSo/s1600/after.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aUFLBYRBGNI/UCT5YvbmM6I/AAAAAAAAAI4/HcXRfi5xjSo/s400/after.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.96666717529297px;">Being a <b>SENIOR MODEL</b> for Lacey Rabalais Photography is an awesome experience!

As I read the words about cancer and she wanted portraits taken before his surgery, I was nervous. Both for Ross and for her. I can't imagine the fear that her heart was consumed in. Ross is a super cute dachshund that had a mass removed so off course before pictures were needed. Fortunately, Ross went through surgery and is doing great. His doctors took great care of him. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Ross, his super cute little brother Rusty, and parents met up with me on a lovely humid and warm morning at the Capital park. Mostly motivated by treats and a little fearful of the camera we had a great time sweating and laughing at these silly pups.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7491987416/" title="Clients (23 of 63) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (23 of 63)" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7262/7491987416_e131bcba96_z.jpg" width="418" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7491987600/" title="Clients (49 of 63) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (49 of 63)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8164/7491987600_b66da96334_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7491987058/" title="Clients (62 of 63) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (62 of 63)" height="508" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8421/7491987058_cf5671a703_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7491987326/" title="Clients (22 of 63) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (22 of 63)" height="482" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8023/7491987326_bb0367bfe5_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7491987660/" title="Clients (56 of 63) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (56 of 63)" height="482" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8151/7491987660_03e2d99344_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7491987252/" title="Clients (17 of 63) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (17 of 63)" height="319" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8155/7491987252_a086683077_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7491987544/" title="Clients (37 of 63) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (37 of 63)" height="460" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7251/7491987544_b16c9bed3a_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7491987188/" title="Clients (14 of 63) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (14 of 63)" height="248" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7260/7491987188_b3f921f1d5_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7491987102/" title="Clients (2 of 63) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (2 of 63)" height="248" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8007/7491987102_d72d58445f_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7491987156/" title="Clients (8 of 63) by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="Clients (8 of 63)" height="458" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8289/7491987156_c98e20f59e_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> </div>Lacey Rabalaishttps://plus.google.com/115094870353992421302noreply@blogger.com1Baton Rouge, LA, USA30.4582829 -91.140319630.3487844 -91.2982481 30.5677814 -90.9823911tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956944220870241098.post-29605644471161080212012-07-05T07:32:00.000-05:002012-07-05T07:35:01.529-05:00Happy Birthday Mom.....<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I</b></span> know that everyone thinks that their mother is the best mom ever. Well you're wrong.....my mom is the absolute best. :o) I've never met a person that is so selfless, so loving, caring, strong, Godly, and just awesome. Growing up, she was tough....making me taste all of those veggies and try all of the things that I just insisted not liking. When I was a teenager, my mom stuck to her guns and laid down the lines. There is no lying that even if I don't live under my parents' roof anymore I still fear my mother. (Don't tell dad that he was always the push over....he wouldn't want to be seen like that). There is rarely a day goes by that I don't call Mom for a recipe, advice, just to talk, or something. She's awesome.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7494928362/" title="023 by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="023" height="508" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8432/7494928362_9f91f39851_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacerab/7494928546/" title="210 by LaceRab, on Flickr"><img alt="210" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7246/7494928546_80ccf6f658_z.jpg" width="418" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This might be one of my favorite images of my mom.

Just a lot of time being spent with my physical therapist.....and an ice pack.<br /><br />In the mean time I've been enjoying life.....<br /><br />May's list looked like this.<br /><br /><ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strike>Get back into my workout routine</strike></li><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strike>Spend Mother's Day doing something fun with Mom</strike></li><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strike>Stop biting my finger nails </strike></li><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">This month's reading list</li><ul style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;"><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership</li><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strike>Total Money Makeover</strike></li><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">CrazyLove {<b>Started over</b>}</li><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Radical {<b>Almost done</b>}</li><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strike>And a few James Patterson books {9th Judgement, 10th Anniversary}</strike></li></ul><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strike>Enjoy my birthday</strike></li><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strike>Hang out with friends</strike></li><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strike>Hang out with my husband</strike></li><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strike>Keep up with the laundry</strike></li><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Keep up with the house {<b>Working on it</b>}</li><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Take some pictures for myself. </li><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strike>Have fun!
