Elizabeth Ray Photography bio picture

Hello :)

Hi! My name is Eray (Elizabeth Ray)! 

My camera and I share this blog.  

I live to capture and create bright vibrant and intriguing photography.   I get my inspiration from vintage photographs, old cameras, and modern edgy fashion.  I shoot like a journalist and edit with style.  





5×5 Royal Street Albums!

I just wanted to post an example 5×5 Album for my out of town friends that can’t get out here to see them in person! These come with some of the wedding packages and I just adore them. These cute little shiny books are perfect for Engagement Sessions so you can have a little Love Book to show off at the wedding or something fun to put on your coffee table at home. awww can every album be a Royal Street Album?



↑ I ♥ Royal Street Albums!

DANA + NATHAN : ENGAGEMENT SHOOT : and Presenting the first PHOTOBOOTH SESSION!

Another Engagement shoot! This is Dana and Nathan! Since they live in the Garden District Baton Rouge, love the outdoors, and have a big connection with cooking we came up with a few perfect locations in the Garden District here and set up the first ever ENGAGEMENT SHOOT PHOTOBOOOOTH!!! I’ll elaborate on this when we we get there.
People like these two just make love an easy thing to capture. You just put them next to each other and they’re already smiling like the happiest people on earth. Well maybe its because they know they are getting married at Latrobes this fall and have a hip band set to play.
Now the pics!!








NOW PRESENTING>>>>>>>>>>> the engagement shoot photobooth!!!!
We went with a ~ Cooking Theme ~ :)
Whats cool about these pics is that if they are printed as a 5×7 all you have to do is cut them and voila! photobooth strips!!

c o n g r a t u l a t i o n s! Dana and Nathan!!

:: EMILY + STEVEN :: Engagement ::

Meet Emily and Steven
Getting married this spring! (oonn a beach!) They are from Gonzales, LA and wanted to shoot where it was edgy crumbly in an old New Orleans neighborhood. We drove around the Tchoupitoulas area and found great crumble and then took the shoot to the sunset hour in Audubon Park.
Do I have a favorite image? yep – third set down. photo on the right. That tree was out of control. we were leaving and all saw this lot with crazy tree…. not done yet……
well here they are! Enjoy the shoot! I had a blast with these two doing something a little different and off the beaten path…..








congrats emily + steven !!

::.::Lynn + Bill::.::. eNgaGemEnT SHoOt

Lynn and Bill!! i looooved doing this shoot. They picked two locations. One was a record shop because on one of their first dates they picked out records (awwwww ;) ). The other area we shot in was around the park off Coliseum in Nola. I loved the fountain and of course we had a nice stretch of lawn to get some cute shadow pictures ;)
It was below freezing outside when we did this shoot but all I can see is the love ;)

so what did we say about 2010? This is the year to go where the wind blows and find adventures. sometimes you need to drive out to the country(baton rouge) and listen to songs that get you good. my goodness denton hatcher and his band i needed to hear that music fill a room
..-..-.thank you.-..-..




major photo crush on the guitar. the colors + shine + music… it was almost too much to handle….
