je vois photography

Remember last year when 2 happy couples won a photo shoot at Railroad Park?  Weeee-eeeell, one of those people was my life-long friend Erin.  As tends to happen, time passed and passed and passed and we JUST go around to it!  Now her family is one person bigger than last year, so we turned it […]

Occasionally I get intimidated.  More than occasionally.  Often.  It’s fun to look at other photographers’ blogs and websites.  I’m inspired by the beauty in front of the lens and the talent behind it.  But often,  I start comparing myself (my main problem in life, not just photography) and feeling like I’m not good enough.  Usually […]

A blog post in the middle of the day!  Crazy times! Sweet Kate gave Blair a gift certificate for a photo session a few months ago.  Blair emailed me about doing some photos of her adorable son Jackson at the three-month mark.  So, in the middle of the Auburn game Saturday, we photoed and cheered […]

It’s a funny story how I ended up getting to photograph Chase.  You probably remember that one of my favorite second shooters for my weddings is Emily Joy.  Well, poor sweet Emily Joy injured her knee during a photo shoot, had to have surgery on it the next day and, obviously, had to cancel all […]

I realize that first birthday parties are mainly for the parents (and siblings.)  I kept this one a little smaller than my first first birthday party.  Little Adelaide had a pinwheel party the Saturday after her birthday.  It’s much harder to be the host, mom and photographer than it is to be JUST the photographer, […]

One year ago today, my sweet baby Adelaide was born.  I looked back at the photos from the day she was born and couldn’t resist sharing some.  Even in the hospital, the nurses would bring her to me and say, “She’s so sweet.”  And she really is.  While she’s getting louder and forming definite opinions, […]

Well, it happened.  Sweet little Charlotte turned one year old!  I feel like I was JUST taking her six month portraits, and now she’s all old.  Even the difference from her 9-month portrait session to now was amazing to me.  I was so excited to get to be at her first birthday party.  As I […]

My how time does fly!  Remember when Cooper was only 4 days old?  Now he’s 6 months.  And even more adorable.  Cooper’s parents are some of my best friends, so I love taking their pictures because it means I’m spending time with them.  And I love spending time with them! Cooper looks like a very […]

There’s a character named Adelaide in the musical Guys and Dolls.  I haven’t seen it, but many people have told me there is a song in the musical about the character and the title of this blog is a line from it!  It sounds a little derogatory, but I’m thinking of it as positive.  Adelaide […]

I had the most wonderful morning when I got to go meet Rivers.  It started out rocky for his mom, my friend, Jess.  But I think the photo shoot MAY have improved their day.  He was so perfectly sweet.  He was two weeks old and they had a rough night before I came, but you […]

Ok, ok, it wasn’t technically Spring when I got to play with Charlotte again.  But it sure did look and feel like it!  Everything at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens was in bloom and the sun was shining bright.  I think I was even wearing flip-flops! Remember Charlotte’s 6-month portraits?  Well, she’s already 9 months…10, actually.  […]

You met Cooper a few weeks ago as he smashed his 1st birthday cake!  We had the family join us for this next session, to capture this fleeting moment in the Campbell’s life. I’ve watched the Campbell kids from a distance for years, but never seen them play with just each other for any length […]

I’m headed to the beach!  Because of this, I will not meet my self-imposed blog post quota this week.  Since I know it is what gets you through the week, I wanted you to see a little glimpse of what you have to look forward to upon my return.  Maybe someday I’ll catch up!!

Cooper turned one!  It was actually a few months ago, but as things usually go for most of us, it took a minute to get schedules together.  Cooper is the baby of 3 children, but only for a second.  His mom will have baby #4 this summer.  So, we’re celebrating this baby while he’s still […]

Do you feel like you’re part of little Abigail’s life?  We’ve watched her grow over the last 6 months.  But I have sad news- it’s coming to an end.  Her little family is leaving us for New Mexico in less than 2 weeks.  They’re so excited and ready, but I am just a little sad […]
