BIG NEWS - I Do with a View!

There is an amazing event coming up in Birmingham on Valentine's Day at the top of Red Mountain at Vulcan Park! I Do with a View is an event that hosts 14 weddings in one day! There will be 13 premiere wedding ceremonies and 1 prime-time sunset ceremony overlooking the city! The link is: http://www.b-metro.com/idowithaview and if you are considering getting married, this is an awesome way to do it! You can sign up at B-Metro's wedding link or enter for a chance to win the prime-time ceremony.

I'm so excited to be selected as the photographer for this event and look forward to meeting the couples getting married that day! I will post more news as we get closer...

Merry Christmas!

To all of my clients (who are my friends) and all of my friends (who HAVE to be my clients!) and all of my family, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

It's been a busy and welcoming year in business and life, moving into our new home, still transitioning from the city to the country, new beginnings, our 2nd anniversary, keeping up with ATL clients and meeting SO many awesome people through photography! I am so thankful for all of the friendships that have begun for me here in Alabama - I owe it all to my husband and especially Jesus - He's opened doors for me to places I would never have gone. You never know what will happen if you walk through!

I just want to let you all know that you are appreciated and part of my life - and I look forward to continuing to be a part of yours and capturing those moments that pass so quickly!

HAPPY 2010!!!

The Engagement of Brittney & Clay!

What a sweet and fun couple! I finally got to meet Clay at Brittney and Clay's engagement session recently!
They are both from the Wetumpka area, so it was only appropriate to photograph here! We did a few different looks in the park and old downtown area...

You have no idea how far he had to jump - and clear Brittney - and not land on me! Talent!

One of my favorites :)

I like the bridge in the background on the hand shot!

Congratulations on your engagement, Brittany & Clay! Looking forward to your October 2010 Wedding!

Rachel & Bryan!

Married. This is their delayed engagement session!
Rachel & Bryan wanted to take advantage of their session, but due to time, we made it happen almost 3 months after the wedding...Rachel wanted some studio and location shots, so after shooting indoors, we headed out into the cold! We went downtown Wetumpka for these...

Too cute! HAD to get her red shoes in a few shots!

I like the lines on this shot...

It was great seeing you two again! Merry first Christmas together!

Kim & Shaun's Maternity

Kim is due in January with their 2nd baby (it's a surprise!). Her husband and 3-year old Luke already make such an amazing family, it's only going to get bigger and better!

She is gorgeous! I love her expression below...

We captured lots of sweet moments [with the belly]!

Luke - the big brother.

And a few more family shots...
Thank you Kim, for bringing the boys in for sharing this special time in your lives! I can't wait to document your little one next month!

Eli - 1 year!

Eli turned 1 year old! This kid makes me smile every time I've seen him. You can tell he is just one of those characters you don't forget! The above storyboard was his mom's idea - she brings the coolest props and toys! I had one shot to get the 'O' - thank God, it worked!

Doesn't this make you laugh out loud??

OK, so he doesn't smile all the time... but he's still cute!

Thank you to Eli's mom and family for the chance to see how he has grown! He is walking so well! I'm sure you are all looking forward to his first Christmas!

The B Family!

I'm a little behind on blogging, but here's one of the coolest families of 7 I've ever met!
The kids feet are in the above shot - I think the personalities are there, even without the faces, lol!

The B family is such a fun, close-knit family with ages ranging from 2 to 17 - we were just playing around on the above shot!

This is one of Ellie's smiles when she doesn't say 'cheese'!

Jeb is 2 - I leave it at that. Lol! I think he warmed up a little later...only if Mom was in view, however!

Bankston - words cannot describe his coolness.

Erica - a model AND Miss Congeniality! in my book, anyway!

Reagan - you can see the depth and sparkle in her eyes ;)

Thank you so much for 'hanging out', it was a great day for photos at Ft. Toulouse. It's always a blessing making new friends through the medium of photography!

The Wedding of Katelyn & Justin!

Katelyn is now off the market! She is such a classic beauty, I've been wanting to post a few bridals for a long time! (coming soon!) She and Justin got married this past weekend! I'm so happy for them!

The ceremony and reception were held at the Civic Center in downtown Wetumpka - we did most of the formals and the first look in the park behind the Center. The above shot was right after their First Look!

Love this one!

OK, ok...so they started out in one of those romantic slow first dances... and the above shot is one of many where the music changed and they were showin' everyone up! It was awesome! and hilarious! They even had a little Thriller in there...and Ice Ice Baby...

The guys before the ceremony.

One of the departure shots! In her 'going-away' dress!

The ladies before the ceremony.

Cake by Justin's mom. Flower girl. Guys in party hats - thanks to K&S DJ Services!

It was a beautiful [exciting] wedding that was Christ and family-centered! Thank you for having me as part of your day! You two are an awesome couple!!!
