  • Welcome to my blog!

    Hi and welcome to my blog! Glad you could stop by! This is where you can see my most recent sessions and posts about my own life, so look around and make yourself at home!

    I am a photographer in the Birmingham, AL area. My style is a blend of traditional and contemporary. Everyone loves a nice portrait, but it is the less guarded, more intimate images that stir our emotions. So, I try to capture both!

    When I am not shooting, I love to spend time with my family, travel, exercise and continue to learn more about photography. (It's a bit of an obsession!)

Beautiful Parents-to-be – Birmingham Alabama Maternity Photography

I have been wanting to blog this session for a while, but other things kept taking priority. I had the BEST time with this session. Tavia and Saji will welcome their first child any day now! I loved that she trusted me completely with the direction of the session, including sticking her in the river! 😉 They are such a beautiful couple and I can’t wait to see their gorgeous daughter! Tavia is a very talented hair stylist and owner of Jevia Green Earth Salon. I have been going to her for years. I was a notorious “salon hopper” before I met her. She is amazing! Thanks again for being so willing to get dirty and wet for our session, I think it all paid off! 🙂

i love this out take… 🙂

[…] believe this sweetie pie is one! It seems like just yesterday that I was doing her mommy’s maternity session! Her mom, Tavia, is always up for some fun. She is my fabo hairstylist and we basically spend my […]

Share…The Workshop 2010 – Alabama Photography Workshops

Ok, so I am FINALLY getting around to blogging about the amazing experience that we had at our very first Share…The Workshop! Grethel Van Epps had approached me about co-hosting a workshop for up and coming photographers last spring. I thought it was a great idea to equip these new photogs with information and skills to help them succeed. Some people have even questioned why would I offer my “secrets” to other photographers? I don’t think that running a successful business and having technically sound images can really be considered secrets. I know that we live in an era where becoming a photographer has become very “easy” and popular. I want these new business owners to know what they are getting into, how to do it successfully and deliver amazing products to their clients. We covered as much info as we could cram into a whole day. In addition to covering business info, technical, and workflow, we demonstrated a newborn shoot and on location family and child shoots. Grethel and I had the best time getting to know all these fabulous photogs and loved sharing our passion (obsession) with them. We had such a great response and personal experience that we have decided to offer another workshop in February. You can find details below. We hope you can join us!
Oh, and I really didn’t take too many pics! Busy running my mouth! LOL Here are a few though.

one of our cutie bug models! It was sooo hot for these poor kiddos! I know our models for the next one will be happy it's Feb!

adorable set of sisters that were SUPER cooperative and well behaved! I must know this mother's secret!

Our amazing group of all ladies! (not that men aren't more than welcome! 🙂 Had the best time with these girls!

It’s my Birthday, so let’s have a contest! – Birmingham Alabama Photographer

Tomorrow will be my birthday. I will just go ahead and embrace it gracefully. I will be 34. There, I said it. It’s out there. Fortunately, I only feel 33. 🙂 After 30, birthdays don’t quite have the same appeal as years before. BUT, I am going to celebrate another wonderful year on this planet and count my many, many blessings! I have had a fantastic 34 years and can only hope for 34 more great ones! So, in honor of my aging process, I am going to have a contest for the best quote. Comment on this post or, on the post on my Facebook Fan page. I will pick my fav and the winner will receive a free set of accordion mini brag books!! Any client from 2010 or one with a scheduled appointment is eligible. (I would love to hear quotes even if you aren’t in the running for the books. 🙂 ) Winner will be announced next week!

back in the day...
