Thankful! Giveaway – Birmingham Alabama Photographer

Posted on November 1, 2011

I love this time of year. The trees are alive with colors, the air is crisp. Even a normal wooded path becomes picturesque with the bright yellows, reds, and oranges. I feel like I am living at warp speed and my family is moving and growing so fast, how is it already November?? I want to slow down a little more this fall and appreciate where God has me right now. It seems like yesterday it was my 5 year old’s first fall and now I am teaching him about fall for his kindergarten home school. I am so thankful and grateful for my life as it is right now and I bet you feel the same way. Would we change a few things if we could? Sure, but I want to be in the habit of being content and so grateful to be standing right where I am.

It has been a while since we have had a contest so I wanted to share some love AND hear why you are thankful for where God has you right now. I am keeping it easy! All you have to do to enter is to email me at sam@hishandsphotographs.com and tell me what you are thankful for and why. I will be taking entries for the next couple of weeks and will announce the winner sometime Thanksgiving weekend. And guess what…. I am giving away TWO PRIZES. One for a family or couple that has been a client before and one for a new family or couple!! Details below! I can’t wait to hear what everyone is thankful for!! I know it is going to make my heart smile!

That’s it. It is that easy!!

And a quick picture of something I am thankful for…. I am blessed with a couple of really great friends. Some I have known longer than others but still great friends. My friends are like family to me. This picture makes me so happy and grateful for my friendship with one of my best friends. Here we are at the pumpkin patch. I am blessed to say I have held each of these children within weeks of their birth (most sooner). I have seen them grow and become the most amazing kids. They are all the best of friends just because their moms are friends. I am so very grateful for her friendship. I could go on and on about what she means to me.

I will share more this month about what I am thankful for and share more stories from you! Now go and enter… now!

Something a little Different! – Hoover Alabama Wedding Photographer

Posted on September 15, 2011

I have been sharing so many family sessions on the blog but now I have something a little different to share! This was my first of many engagement sessions scheduled for this fall. I was so excited to spend the evening with this couple! We ran around some of my favorite spots for an urban look then met later that night on the campus of Samford to play with off camera lighting in the dark. When we were planning the engagement session, this bride said to me… I want you to be creative. Whatever you want to do, just do something that you are having fun with and I will love it! It was awesome and I hope she loves them as much as I do!  :) So, what do you think?
