A little bit vintage, a little bit country and a little bit hippie, Tim and Jessie's wedding was absolutely gorgeous. (But maybe I'm biased as it's my brother and sister-in-law we're talking about here)

It's a little hard to believe that over a whole month has passed since this precious little baby joined our family! After much joking that he would decide to come on labor day, the little stinker actually did it! He was over two weeks early and we were all so surprised! Since then we have been very much in the baby fog whil adjusting to our new normal.

It may be October, but here in Alabama summer is still trying to hang on, which means we're still trying to find ways to beat the heat. So while you're hiding inside waiting for the temperature to cool down to a more manageble level, I wanted to take a minute and share some thoughts with you...

Something yall might not know about me is that I am blessed to have a husband who is also a creative! Since long before I met him, Jason has enjoyed sewing, which is something I dabble in but he is much more proficient, lol. A few years ago he decided to take a plunge into making custom swimsuits.

Last fall I had the pleasure of shooting Tim and Jessie's engagement photos. The woods at my parent's house were in their full fall glory so we had some goregous yellow trees surrounding us for the shoot.

As the evening light streamed across campus, my little family and I met my Dad at the President's lawn to take some family and maternity photos. The University of Montevallo is honestly one of my favorite places for photo shoots...

Around the Fourth of July I saw several photoshoots involving sparklers that came through my social media feeds. I really liked the idea for a teen girl's photo shoot and wanted to play around with it, so I talked my little sister into modeling for me.

It was a typical hot and muggy Alabama evening when I met Nicole and her family at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. Issues with traffic made us all late to arrive, but it ended up working out in our favor with the evening light.

Last fall I met a dear old friend at our mutual alma mater to take her college gradutaion photos. The light was absolutely gorgeous, the client was one of my favorite people, and the location will always hold a special place in my heart. So it's little wonder that Samantha's grad photos also happen to be one of my absolutely faorite sessions.

This week instead of my normal photoshoot post I thought I’d take a few minutes to address what having a photoshoot with me entails. I love doing sessions of all kinds so I’ll also try to address what a couple of my portfolio categories mean. These are just some basics that I thought people might wonder about, so if you have any specific questions please contact me!
