Robyn+Phillip are expecting their first little one any day now! Baby “B” was due July 25 and is making everyone wait for her arrival! I cannot wait to meet her! Here are a few favorites from their maternity session.





Erin+Derrick were married June 12, 2010 at Saint Mark United Methodist Church in Vestavia, AL. I LOVED working with these two. They have been together for four years and met in a history class at Berry College. They decided to see each other before the wedding and I absolutely LOVED their reaction! So SWEET! Their reception was held at Vestavia Country Club. We decided to sneak out of the reception for a few more shots…so glad we did…the light was gorgeous!!! Here are a few of my favorites!



















I was so excited to finally photograph this awesome family today! We have been trying to schedule since February for Cohen’s 1 year session. We finally made it happen, which makes me and mommy so happy! This family has a special place in my heart. We met in a couple’s small group at Church of the Highlands right before Cohen’s arrival. He has grown so fast. Definitely a ROCK STAR….watch out ladies!
Here are a few of my favorites from this morning’s session!







This has to have been the quickest session I have ever shot! Carrie and I planned to have her Bridal session the Sunday before her wedding. The day was very overcast all day. We decided to go ahead and still plan for our session that afternoon since she had her trial run hair and make-up appointments scheduled. We maybe shot 30 minutes before the bottom let out. I think in the short time we had and not wandering to far away from our vehicles, we got some great shots. Carrie was awesome, especially running in heels!
Stay tuned for their gorgeous wedding(along with AMAZING weather)soon!






I had the pleasure of photographing this adorable family a few weeks ago. Hudson is definitely a busy one year old. He loves to run, climb, and play. Kathryn is a great big sister with a grown up personality! She and I had a great time walking and talking during our session at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. I had a wonderful time getting to know your family and look forward to working with you soon!








Now on to the ceremony, reception, and a few more portraits! Shana+Tom have lots of close family & friends with children, so they had lots of sweet little bell ringers, ring bearers, and flower girls. They all did so good, one flower girl even fell asleep! Shana’s grandfather escorted her down the aisle to her father. Shana has an extremely close relationship with her grandfather. In fact they were married on his 87th birthday, how special! The ceremony was filled with beautiful songs, prayer, and vows. It was a very emotional and sweet ceremony, many happy tears were shed! The reception was held in the gorgeous ballroom! Oh, and the bride’s cake was Shana’s recipe, icing and all! How awesome to have your own recipe for your wedding cake! Once Shana+Tom left in the horse & carriage, we decided it was time for a few more portraits! I LOVE when I have an opportunity to spend a little extra time with the Bride&Groom. The evening light was stunning! Shana+Tom, thank you so much for allowing Bo and I to capture your wedding day! We were honored to be there not only as photographers, but as friends! Love you guys!

Where do I begin? I LOVED everything about this wedding…beautiful weather, gorgeous details, and an amazing couple so in love with God! Shana+Tom were a photographer’s dream! When I first met with Shana I pinched myself…I thought she was a bride I had dreamed up. She began to share all the details, which you can see for yourself…amazing! They were married March 28 at The American Village. Since there are so many images I want to share, I am going to blog in parts. Here is Part I : Details, First Look, & a few Portraits!

Stay tuned for Part II!!!
I drove up to Athens to meet Anna+Andy for their engagement session a little over a week ago. This was during the process of Bo and I working like crazy to get our new home(well, not so “new”, but new to us) ready for us to move into by the end of March. Anyway, Anna+Andy was a breathe of fresh air. They were so fun, sweet, in love, and a blast to photograph. They brought along Patton, their sweet boxer that I kept calling “Drake”. I have the tendency to give my clients and their pets new names, not sure why. Please forgive me for that, lol! Anna had some great ideas and locations for their session. One being a truck that her late grandfather had restored. It was the last truck he finished before he passed. It is something very sentimental to their family. Her father had to sell it a few years ago, but luckily it was to a family friend that Anna still has contact with. She is surprising her father with these photos…LOVE it! I cannot wait for the wedding in Nashville this June!















Here is a quick peek from my sweet newborn session this morning. ![]()
