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 […]

One week ago today, my 2nd beautiful daughter entered the world! Here is our beautiful Adelaide. Please contact me if you know how to freeze a moment in time. I would like to keep things this way forever.

Did you know I’m having a baby tomorrow? I am. A 2nd little girl at 7:45 a.m. We’re excited, crazy, tired already and not feeling like it’s real at all. So, instead of thinking through final details and packing up the last tidbits for the hospital, I’m blogging. This is beautiful Mallory. YOU can see […]

You may recall from their engagement post, that I think Peyton is GORGEOUS. Just so classically beautiful with awesome expression. Well, we did her bridal portraits yesterday in the EXTREME heat. I believe it got up to 99, at least. This series is one we did at the very end. She hasn’t touched up, or […]

It’s always hard to choose which few pictures to include on a wedding sneak. And I truly do want my sneaks to be sneaks. I look forward to the full posts, once I’ve taken the actual time to go through them and get them perfect. But it’s also fun to give the people involved, and […]

I have failed at posting occasional personal entries. But here’s one for you!My daughter, aunt, grandmother, cousin and 3 second cousins (or 1st cousins-once-removed or something) all went to pick blueberries at Grabuck farms. It was super hot and so much fun! My little girl and I got 2 and 1/4 pounds worth. When we […]

Earlier this year, I had a chance to go visit the Equines Assisting Special Individuals therapeutic riding program in Walker County, AL. It was started by a wonderful woman named Kim Hall, who “dreamed of a place where abused or neglected children, a child who needs special assistance could experience unconditional love and acceptance.” Some […]

And here is my very most favorite photo from the day. And one of my top favorites of all time. And now I’m really done with Lindsey and Jamie’s beautiful day!

I must confess to you that I have been REALLY enjoying doing nothing at night, which is usually when I blog. I watched tv and movies and wrapped presents…. ok so not nothing, but not blogging 🙂 But I’m back and really going to try to catch up. I have several weddings as far back […]

It was such an honor to be the photographer at Lindsey and Jamie’s wedding. I’ve known Jamie Gardner and his family all my life. My sisters and I used to fight about which Gardner boy we would marry. Since this was the 2nd of the 3 boys and the 3rd wedding is in July, I […]

I am almost ready to present Lindsey and Jamie’s images to them, but couldn’t resist posting this one. Lindsey wouldn’t let Jamie kiss her before the ceremony, but this was close enough for their enthusiastic photographer!

Well, the beautiful people that you may recall from an engagement session back in the spring did it. They got hitched. It was a gorgeous day and a gorgeous couple and an absolute blast. I can’t wait to show you all of Lindsey and Jamie’s images, but I’m not quite ready. Here are a few […]

I had a shoot last week with a gorgeous model. It was a beautiful, but chilly day. We had the talented stylist, Lindsey Kessler with us and had so much fun as we captured beautiful images around town! We all agreed that it felt more like a fun girls day than a photo shoot. If […]

A few weeks ago the Pinson Valley High School, Class of 1999 celebrated 10-years away from high school. I got to participate behind my trusty camera. I attempted my first photo booth and thought it was a success! It took people a moment to warm up to the idea, but they caught on. Moments later, […]
