je vois photography

While I am mainly a wedding photographer, I also love taking portraits! This year, I captured several spring senior portraits, which was especially meaningful because my own daughter graduated alongside many of these seniors. I’ve known so many of these students for years. I’ve been friends with their parents, watched them perform in show choir, […]

This girl makes me look good.  And I loved the session for so many reasons.  1- she’s done some modeling.  So she’s easy in front of the camera.  Even beautiful people get awkward and she just didn’t.  2- Her sister is married to my brother.  So I know her family pretty well.  One of my […]

A couple of weekends ago I shot what turned out to be one of my favorite photo sessions.  The family involved, the location, and most of all the precious, sweet girl made it so.  Kathleen is graduating this year.  It’s wild because she was in a sixth grade Sunday School class I taught and it […]

When I was 15, a little girl was born across the street.  This tiny little girl was given a big name… Joan Leslie.  I’ve gotten to watch her grow into that big name.  When she was 3 there were note cards on everything in the house naming them, so she could go ahead and start […]

If you’ve followed me/my work for long, you may remember me beginning to explore the prospect of an intern to help with my business about a year ago.  I prayed and thought, and prayed and thought.  One of the reasons photography is so perfect for me is that, while I’m passionate about it, I am […]

When I was younger, my closest girl friends were always the most beautiful, most talented, most everything.  (which was not great for my self-esteem!) SO, I feel certain that Madeline would have been one of those.  I say that God left the talent dropper over her for longer than the rest of us.  She’s been […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

It’s the Lazenby hour here on the blog!  But this time it’s not about Lacy and Brent’s wedding, it’s about the sweet younger sister.  Lara. Like I mentioned before, the Lazenbys and the Stegalls (my family) have been friends for decades.  But I haven’t seen Lara since she was a child.  In fact, I introduced […]
