Tim is one of my friends, Suzy and him are very good friends, and yes he is one of the very best senior photographers in the world.

Been in Rangefinder geez I am not sure how many times - is VERY humble and well just is one of those guys which you are a better person to know him.


He is downtown Lafayette where there is at least 10 studios within 10 miles of his and yet he is sold out in session spots a year in advance. HE IS THE MAN for seniors in the area but yet talking to him you would never know he even knew how to shoot a camera.


Super amazing photographer and even a better person!

I was just looking at how many photography studios have popped up down there. When I was in high school there were pretty much two options for senior pics, Jay Faugot, and Allen Breaux.

I'd love to move home... I wonder if he needs a studio assistant.... hmmmm?!?

He takes some great portraits, but his makeup artist is in a class alone, too.

I know Jay very well too - he is still HUGE in that area but much more traditional than Tim. Funny thing is Tim is most likely more traditional in his personal life and again to know him you would never think he would create such sexy images of high school seniors.

Amazing work on his lighting, poses, and makeup. The only thing that struck me as kind of odd is that every one of his seniors looks like a model that stepped straight out of the pages of Victorias Secret or GQ. Doesn't he ever shoot anyone that's overweight? I'd love to see what he does to handle someone with a more normal-to-heavy physique.

Exact thoughts went through my head...

I'm sure he'll do an amazing job with more normal looking people too. I wonder if he makes normal looking people look like supermodels, or if he just shows photos of the more (naturally) attractive people.
