So sweet – Birmingham Alabama Newborn Photographer

This is my favorite picture from a newborn session from yesterday. I am working through the session now but this picture made me stop and smile. I love how big brother is peeking at me while little sister is sleeping. More later…

Eyelashes – Birmingham Alabama Children, Family, and Wedding Photographer

My most requested shot that I take for families and couples is what I call the “eyelash” shot. It is also one of my favorite pictures to take of my clients. And I want to share with you how it all started. The picture above is my first ever eyelash shot and it was by accident. This little guy was having a hard time warming up to me and was being shy. I was snapping away, trying different angles, and even taking pictures of him not looking to show him on the back of my camera. We did eventually get some shots of him looking at me but when I went home to process the session I absolutely fell in love with this shot. The mom did too and then the “eyelash” shot was born! I have learned some tricks at getting the right angle even with fast moving children and babies. I photographed another photographer’s family a little while ago and when she saw me take the shot of her child she exclaimed “THAT’S how you do it.” :) I love the challenge! But, not only moms love this shot. Couples and seniors love it too! So, it is now part of my routine in most sessions.

Why do I love it so much? As mom, I have held my children as they slept and gazed at thier eyelashes. It is view that I never want to forget. I know other moms feel the same way. And for couples, I love the eyelash shot because the couple must be sitting close together to capture the right angle and it looks so intimate without being too close. It makes women look so feminine and I love it!

Now for a cute little baby – Pell City Child Portrait Photographer

From the blog lately, you would think we are only shooting adults but we are busy busy with little kiddos and family. I wanted show you some from this little guys 6 month session (look for more in the coming months, he is on our baby plan!). We met at his Grandmother’s beautiful house. We waited a few weeks until her was sitting up and I am so glad we did. I bet it won’t be long before this guy is walking! I love the coats at the end. It looks so classic!

Our New Year’s Eve – Birmingham Alabama Wedding Photography

I really thought things were going to slow down in December since we didn’t have any weddings booked and the cold was setting in. Little did I know that we would book THREE weddings in December in 4 weeks!! Praise God, seriously! We will spending our New Year’s Eve with this fabulous couple at the Tutwiler Hotel and I can’t think of a better way to end the year. This couple has been planning a wedding from out of state so when they were both in town, we scheduled the engagement session downtown. Of course, it was COLD so we  did some family shots in the Tutwiler then bundled up for some couple shots outside. Love it, love it…. LOVE it!

Thanks guys for a good afternoon hanging out, braving the cold… I hear there are flurries in the forecast for Thursday. : ) That would be great!

Relationships – Birmingham Alabama Urban Family Portrait Photographer

Birmingham Alabama Urban Family Photographer_Lifestyle Photography_His Hands Photographs_04

Here are the winners from our relationship contest. The two families have been friends FOREVER…. the two dads went to elementary school together and the moms told me that the kids have all been friends since they were born. They acted like family too! Everyone was cutting up and having a great time. We changed our location at the LAST minute. I pulled up at our meeting place and said “Are you up for something different?” I saw this spot on the way to our session and I HAD to use it. Awesome location, more awesome family!
