Several years ago I nervously drove to the home of a family from my church to photograph their new baby. I didn’t know the couple very well and hadn’t shot many newborns, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. A few hours later I left with captures I knew they would be happy with, that […]

We Stegalls love to celebrate. If there’s a reason to get together for a meal and even better to decorate, we will do it. Our latest reason to celebrate was little Sadie’s 4th birthday. It’s such a fun age and she’s just the most adorable, winsome child. My sister Hagen was the instigator and […]

A couple of weeks ago, my friends Ashley and Erin and I took our children strawberry picking. It was so much fun and we’ve all become experts at preparing strawberry dishes! We went to Witt Farms in Hayden, AL. We’re planning to go back for blackberries AND peaches in a few months.

An old family friend called a few months ago to get her adorable son’s one-year portrait session scheduled. Sadly, I hadn’t met John Turner yet. Both his mom and dad are calm, easy-going, reasonably quiet people, so I expected similar traits in him. But no, no, no… this little man is on the move, expressive, […]

When I start thinking about what I’ll write as I blog a wedding I plan to say “This was my favorite part…” But within each wedding I have around 4 or 5 “favorite” parts. Instead of telling you all dozen of my favorite moments Jen and Tommy’s wedding, I’ll just warn you ahead of time- […]

“…if I don’t see God, I’ll bow down before something else…And whether I am conscious of it or not, any created thing of which I am amazed, it is the glimpse of His face to which I bow down. Do I have eyes to see it’s Him and not the thing?” (Ann Voskamp, One Thousand […]

Back in November I met with this beautiful girl that I really liked. Her wedding was in March and I wanted to be the photographer. Our personalities clicked, her plans sounded gorgeous and I just knew her bright blue eyes and rosy cheeks would make a beautiful bride. What I didn’t know is that Anna […]

I mentioned on my facebook page a month or so ago, that I cannot be held responsible for what happens if you and your adorable baby come play at my house. I’m finally getting around to blogging the whole session with my sweet friend Ashley’s baby Zephaniah. It went something like this… our two older […]

I have always been interested in boudoir photography, but it sort of intimidated me. So, like any normal girl, I asked my gorgeous best friend to let me practice. Unlike typical boudoir photography (literally “a woman’s bedroom or private sitting room”) which seems very made-up and contrived, I prefer more natural, interrupted-getting-ready in the morning. […]

In my last post, I showed what a difference 20 months makes in the life of a baby girl. NOW we’ll look at what a difference just 3 months makes! Little Olivia and I met 3 months ago, at her 3-month portrait session. She was so cute, just figuring out how to push up with […]

Recently I was irritated with my adorable 19-month old because she wouldn’t lay still while I was trying to change her diaper. As she STOOD on the changing table and leaned against the wall where her initials hang, my anger melted away and turned to brilliance! I should do a “time-lapse” blog of her in […]

One of the most delightful people I know had a baby. Anna is this beautiful, contagiously happy, full-of-life girl who I don’t see enough of. Her fun-loving husband and mine get along great too, so they’re one of very few couples that we both really click with (you know how that goes!!) Last summer they […]
