We started Halloween out with some sugar and are still riding the high… WARNING!!!  Overload of personal life photos and adoration of 2 yr old daughter ahead. We began with Halloween Chex Mix. Progressed to a Fall Festival.  At THIS event she was a ballerina ladybug. Next up, pumpkin carving.And last, trick or treating.  As […]

I love when my brides choose to order an album.  In elementary school, I loved creative writing.  And now that I’m a photographer, not a writer, it’s sort of the same thing.  I get to tell the story of the most important day of these couples’ lives through the photographs.  So, rather than posting a […]

One of the winners of the Railroad Park free photo shoot contest was really on top of things and got her shoot scheduled right away!  It was a warm, sunny, fall day at the park when I headed out with Heather and Russ.  They are in our Sunday School class and we’d gotten to know […]

A few months ago I ran into Danielle… a girl I had taught ballet to when she was in 9th grade (I think!) out at Westwood Ballet in Forestdale.  After she stopped dancing there, we lost touch.  So, as we chatted at Books a Million, she mentioned that she was engaged and I mentioned that […]

Earlier in October, some very dear friends’ daughter turned 13.  Now, this is big because you’re entering your teens, surviving middle school, not to mention some other family stuff that she is handling so maturely.  Lauren has always seemed older than she is, but this year, being delightful and mature paid off- a great big […]

If you’ve followed this blog for longer than 3 weeks, you know that there was a little lull in posts from July to October.  This is because I had my second baby girl.  She is so beautiful and delightful.  She’s snuggly and dainty and mostly laid back.  We love her so much.  However, mother-of-two is […]

Well, let me say “and the winners are…”  There were so many comments and so many varieties of people that commented that I couldn’t do just one.  So, two of you are getting free couples sessions at Railroad Park.  They are: Erin Stephenson Heather Phillips Did you know that there’s a random number generator app?  […]

My dear best friend had her second baby while the rest of us slept on Sunday October 3- 12 days early.  Don’t worry, he was still 7 lbs, 12 oz and healthy as a horse.  Now, before you look at the pics you need to know that she is GORGEOUS.  No matter how good i […]

Not the singer, LADY Gaga, but a much classier Lady named GaGa, who bore the name long before we heard “Just Dance…” A longtime friend of our family asked me recently to photograph a service honoring her mother, Gaga, as she fights pancreatic cancer.  Sweet Gaga lost her husband just a few weeks ago and […]

Meet the Greshams.  I know them through my husband, originally.  He and Emily Joy taught together at Shades Cahaba Elementary School years ago and we met at a party, both pregnant with our first babies.  Skip forward about a year to a photography class at Samford.  This adorable girl walked in and I couldn’t quite […]

We saw a sneak peek from this wedding way back in July, you may be thinking.  Well, yes.  Since that time, I had a baby, which slowed down my blogging just a little.  But don’t worry, I’m back with a vengeance and this 1st full wedding post, post-baby, is a BIGGIE!! Magen and Trey have […]

For a long time now I’ve complained about the lackluster images my free, but otherwise adequate blog posted.  It bothered me that the color wasn’t quite right, that the sharpness didn’t quite come through, etc.  And since the point of the blog is to show you, the reader, what I do with my camera and […]

I’d like you to meet my sweet friend Mandy.  She and I have worked together for 5 years, maybe?? at Dawson Memorial Baptist.  I could NOT do my job as Ballet Director without her.  She does almost all the admin stuff, not to mention all the stuff I just can’t get myself together enough to […]

This is Baby Abigail!  She’s 3 months old and the beautiful daughter of Kate and Brett, who I met at their wedding (photographed with Amelia Strauss.) I was so honored that Kate asked me to document Abigail over her next year.  This first session had sweet baby pretty upset by the end, but capturing these […]

I am surrounded by babies!  It’s so much fun.  This is a friend’s beautiful baby girl at 8 days old.  Paxton was quite a trooper, and so was her mom 🙂 This is big sister, Madeline.  Isn’t she gorgeous?
