Beautiful Model and a great location – Fairhope, Alabama Photographer
Posted on October 23, 2009
I was more that a little nervous when an agent from New York called me about model photography. I am not a fashion photographer but I love to take pictures. It took us a few months to work out the details with this model. She is in school in Mobile and couldn’t get away to Birmingham but we were able to work out a session while we were at the beach last week. We met in Fairhope for the session and finished up on the bay. I was very excited about the location. I so love downtown Fairhope. It is the perfect little town and I want to live here! We walked all over Fairhope looking for nooks and crannies for the perfect place. I am so excited about the results! They are very much my style… I really love the sun flare pictures!!

First Dancer – Birmingham Senior Portrait Photography
Posted on October 22, 2009
(On a side note…. things are a little hairy around here! 4 weddings in 4 weeks, more portrait sessions that I want to count AND we were out of town for a 8 days! I feel like Dori in Finding Nemo…. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming. This by far is our busiest fall ever and we are LOVIN it! We have so many exciting projects in the works the last few weeks and I hope to give them some blog coverage but emails and editing come first! I think I will blog all winter when it is cold and we are a little slower. Will it be strange to see people in summer clothes on the blog during winter?!?)
Now on with the fun stuff….
We all know how dancers have a special place in my heart. But this dancer is extra special. When I first started I asked for volunteers to model some ideas I had and she was the first dance to sign up. Now over two years ago she is back for her senior portraits! I was so excited when she contacted me for her session. She is so beautiful, of course, but her spirit is beautiful too. I was very excited to photograph her without her dance gear on too! I learned something about her at the session too… when she puts on her pointe shoes you can see her confidence come alive. She holds her head a little higher and you can just tell, when she is dancing… she is everything she wants to be in life. She wants to pursue dancing after high school and I can’t wait to see where she goes! Incredible talent and I am honored to capture her in print who she is now. 
And it rained during this session too (what is it about senior sessions and the rain?!?) but she was totally game to jump and dance in the rain. I have the best clients in the WORLD! The fan is from her Mom’s senior portraits. I love it when we use something that is special to the family.

Nice to meet you! – Orange Beach Engagement Photography
Posted on October 17, 2009
It was so great to finally meet this couple! We booked this wedding months ago but with the couple from Louisiana and us in Birmingham, we didn’t get a chance to meet until yesterday! We started out at the Wharf for something completely different and then, of course, headed out to the beach. We are really looking forward to their wedding TODAY! It will be our first beach wedding and we are pumped and ready to go!! We couldn’t ask for a better bride and groom today. Not only are they a beautiful couple, they are so down to earth. Conversation came so easy between the two of them. They laughed a lot and you can just tell…. they are so ready to be married!! To be continued….
