April 18, 2012Ryan + Jill + Scotlyn + October 2012 = One of the coolest weddings ever. I just know it will be. These two are incredibly awesome and can’t take a bad photo. And Scotlyn? She’ll be on the blog tomorrow. Too much personality to fit into one blog post :)

step out of the zone
November 15, 2011The photography comfort zone, that is.
You know you are snuggled right between I-am-kind-of-finding-my-style-and-groove and ACK-I-need-to-improve-my-photography.
We’re all stuck there most of the time.
Try something new.
A new pose.
A new lighting scenario.
A new genre of subject or people that is out of your norm.
A new location.

Shooting at night has always intimidated me a bit. So, I forced myself to do it. And, it WAS forcing in the beginning. I learned one thing and made ten mistakes. Next time, I learned two things and made five mistakes. And so it goes. I am always learning, but I am finding that I LOVE shooting at night. So, I was thrilled when the beautiful Miss Natalie (high school senior) specifically requested some of her shoot take place at night.
What have you learned lately?
peter and carmela…engaged
June 6, 2011We didn’t plan on pictures at the carnival. But…we just happen to walk through on the way to our cars… and there was a big Ferris Wheel…and Peter had money for cotton candy…and she was wearing a bright blue dress that matched perfectly…so…it was inevitable that we stop and take a few shots on our way out of Birmingham. We got one of my new favorites…
A little carnival fun and then we were off to her house and we got some more of my new favorites…
Aren’t they so pretty?
Sigh…I love her happiness in this image…
senior shoot…high fashion style
October 8, 2010They were looking for different. They were looking for unique. They were looking for HIGH FASHION. And I knew I was in for a treat when Alexa’s mother told me to just “meet them at the salon…there are so many awesome places here that we can use.” Squeal! You all know I love me a cool location and a mom/daughter/stylist team with great ideas and a keen fashion sense! Big thanks to LuigiBruni in Birmingham for the use of their salon. I was in love with the feel and atmosphere of the salon…they get my big, huge recommendation for being a classy, upscale, and all around awesome salon.
And, then we took it outside for a few “Jean style” senior shots. LOVE HER!
