It’s late, but I couldn’t resist.  This wedding was as perfect as I had imagined it would be.  Love to the Doty’s!

Today, before the storms, my little family and I headed out to Grabuck Farms to pick blueberries.  This lovely rooster seemed to be guarding the first set of bushes.  Cock-a-doodling all the way.And while baby Adelaide slept in the car, we took some really sweet portraits of Daddy and Pierce.  These next two capture her […]

Like I mentioned in the last post, these two lovebirds got married in St. Lucia, all by their romantic selves.  But, because friends and family are so important to them, they did plan a BIG party to celebrate with everyone.  It was a gorgeous hot day, and we had so much fun. Without any prodding […]

Drew and Karen got married on St. Lucia a month ago and didn’t take anyone with them!!  Sounds awesome, don’t you think?  They did have a big ‘ole “wedding” weekend though, to celebrate with their friends and family and I got to come along.  I’ll have a bigger post on the whole weekend soon, but […]

Amy emailed me to do some family portraits of her little family after seeing Elizabeth and Walt’s engagement portraits. We scheduled a session quickly before her sweet little boy got past his 2nd birthday unphotographed. AND before the little baby in her belly made a maternity session more appropriate! Now, you should know that I’m […]

I’ve lived in Birmingham for most of my life, but until last weekend, had never been to Moss Rock Preserve.  Since that’s where Zack wanted to do his senior portraits, I laced up my tennis shoes and started hiking.  It was so beautiful! And significantly cooler that the asphalt covered world I spend more of […]

Michelle found me through our mutual friend Kate (you may know her as Abigail’s mom.) When she emailed saying she’d like to schedule a maternity session, I was so excited!  I haven’t done a maternity session in a while and love all things pregnancy.  Couple that with a gorgeous day and you have a recipe […]

Most people would love to relive the glory days of college.  I enjoyed college, but my glory days were high school.  I loved it.  And in nearly every memory of those wonderful days was my friend Mary.  We were 2 of only a handful of girls that weren’t on the “dance team” so we spent […]

Ann Marie’s mom, Sherrill and I started talking about doing her senior portraits a month or so ago.  Then came all kinds of commitments and activities for her senior year, our church, general life stuff.  And so finally this past weekend we got it together!  Sherrill was one of the sweetest people to me when […]

This morning started early.  It’s easier to forget the hour, though, on a gorgeous day with beautiful and photogenic people!  It also helps when they’re fun to talk to and wander around with.  Ginny and I started emailing quite a while back about taking some pictures of her family.  Our schedules finally worked out for […]

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 […]

If you follow me on twitter or facebook, you know how excited I was about this wedding.  Here’s why: 1- Kristen and TJ are so adorable and so in love. 2- They were really laid back and trusting about the photography.  I got to do whatever I wanted (even during the ceremony!) 3- The ceremony […]

This is Sarah.  I’m sure she would disagree, but she is the total package.  One of those people God left the talent dropper over for too long.  You would probably love to hate her… but you wouldn’t be able to!  Besides being very smart, talented, beautiful, she’s also extremely kind.  She plays at least 2 […]

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 […]

Do you remember the sweet Hogue family from last year?  I love this family.  The children are just beautiful and well behaved.  And the parents are just a joy.  Good listeners, gentle spirits, selfless givers.  (and humble.  I’m sure they don’t think they’re any of those things.)  It was such fun to spend a very […]
