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!
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!

Here is a quick peek from my sweet newborn session this morning.
I can’t even begin to explain how EXCITED I am to be working with this couple! You know sometimes when you meet someone you have this immediate connection…somehow you know God sent them into your life! I have been fortunate to have had this opportunity happen several times through my business (another reason I LOVE what I do)and Shana+Tom are no exception! When I first met Shana, I knew we clicked! I am beyond thrilled that they have chosen me as their wedding photographer and I cannot wait to capture their wedding day! We met this past Saturday morning for breakfast at The Original Pancake House and then opted for a quick mini e-session before heading over toThe Chili Cook-off in Homewood. It was a wonderful morning, so glad you asked us to hang out! Bo and I had a great time getting to know you both! Just 18 more days till the BIG day!
I just got the 5D MarkII, so I decided I would play around with the video feature. Here is a little slideshow I created! =)
(Make sure HD is turned off, so it will play smooth.)

I was so excited when Stephanie asked me a few months ago about doing a session with her hubby and his sister and brother-in-law! We had a hard time getting our schedules and the weather to work out, but we finally got together this past weekend and the weather was perfect…makes me wish Spring would hurry up and get here! Bo and I met Stephanie+Doug a little over a year ago in one of our small groups at Church of the Highlands. We were still in the same small group until a few weeks ago when we found out Doug accepted a job in Prattville. We are so happy for them, but will miss seeing them on Monday nights! I had a great time with you guys Sunday!
This family was a blast! We tried to get together before Christmas, but the weather and our schedules never worked out. We met earlier this week and the weather was beautiful, just freezing! I love how much personality and pizazz they have. They were so much fun to photograph! I look forward to working with you guys again soon!
I had the pleasure of photographing the sweetest 10 day old little girl today. Angel + Clete welcomed their brand new baby girl into the world December 17, just in time for Christmas. Since she is a December baby, I had to put her in my Christmas tutu, too cute! Congratulations you two, she is absolutely gorgeous!
I love photographing families! I have been very blessed to have the opportunity to meet some really sweet families this year! Here is one I met up with on a freezing cold day!
Bo and I met up earlier today for a quick mini session with the Girouard Family. The weather wasn’t the best, misty and only around 50 degrees! We had a great time and got some really fun shots! They were so much FUN to photograph! Such a SWEET family! Here are a few of my favorites!
Last Sunday afternoon Logan drove down to Birmingham for his Senior Session. I cannot believe Logan is a high school senior! I first met Logan 10 years ago! He and his family attend Kyuka Baptist Church, a very dear church to Bo and I! He is very involved in his high school…senior class president, student council…just to name a few. He is very out going and so much fun to hang out with. He has lots of ideas and I can’t wait to see where the future takes him! I was so excited when he asked me to photograph his senior session. He wanted something different and was up for anything! Logan, I hope I met your expectations! Bo and I had a great time hanging out with you and Nico! Enjoy the rest of your senior year!
