Crystal - Pinup Session!

Boudoir sessions or anything close to Pinup sessions don't come often enough for me - I LOVE these! And when I do, rarely do I get to blog them! But Crystal is so easy-going, I get to post a few shots from her Pinup session! She is a new friend of mine who inquired about photos as a gift for her husband. Her husband doesn't know about them yet - he is in the army with the possibility of shipping out soon (still unknown at this time), but Crystal wanted to do something special for him. So sweet! Here's a few shots from the variety we captured recently....

Not everyone can pull off the pencil skirt! She is wearing his hat...

It's not the army, but she loved my pinup sailor girl outfit - it looks like a vintage swimsuit, but it's so cute!

And I loved this look on her too - she is so versatile!

Thanks so much Crystal! I hope your hubby loves these and will probably not stop thinking of you with these photos as another reminder!

Kelli's Senior Portraits!

This gal has a smile to light up a room! Kelli is probably one of the most down to earth high school students I've ever met as well. She is a 2011 Prattville senior - we had a great time for her recent studio session! Just a sample is shown below...!

(see what I mean?)

And here she is in her element - she is traveling all over the US this summer to play fastpitch softball with her team!

I love this one - surrounded by her home-run balls!

Congrats, Kelli! You have so much to look forward to :)

I'll be in touch - have a wonderful summer!

Orange Beach Session - Amy & the boys!

While on a quick dash to Orange Beach last week, I had the opportunity to photograph Amy and her boys, Jaxon and Wyatt on the beach! It was so bright - obviously not a sunset shoot - the boys were squinting most of the time! And you can't tell a kid to not squint, lol! However, we were able to capture their personalities, as distracted as they were to get their swimming shorts on and head for the water!

It was great seeing you and the boys again, Amy!

I'm excited to see Jaxon and Wyatt again tomorrow in the wedding I'm photographing!

Katie's Bridal Session!

Katie was just married a few weeks ago - thought I would finally get a few of my favorites from her bridal session posted! These were photographed mid-day in late April near Gulf Shores - right after news of the tragic oil spill. The beach was SO windy, we went to a nearby park instead.

Gorgeous!

The Wedding of Kirstyn & Scott!

Not sure why, but I feel like I've known Kirstyn and Scott forever... these two sweethearts tied the knot this past weekend in Montgomery with a sweet and simple afternoon wedding. It was one of those hot and humid days with passing rain clouds, but everything works out as always! Check out the images below...

Her gown was a flowy Grecian-style wedding dress...!

Scott and his nephew :)

During a song, the guys whipped out lighters to enhance to mood... lol!!!

Not sure what everyone is laughing at, but it's cute!

A tribute to Scott's love for bowling... his groom's cake was a chocolate bowling ball! YUM!

Off to their honeymoon and an exciting new life together as one!

Congratulations, Scott and Kirstyn!

Thanks for everything, it was amazing to be part of your wedding!

The Wedding of Katie & Josh!

Katie and Josh are married! They had a beautiful Friday evening ceremony with tons of family and friends! So many people put time and talent into making their day perfect! These two are sweethearts - and not only to each other, but to everyone they meet! I'll let the images tell their story...

 Katie's style, as evident from her gown, is simple, elegant, and timeless...just like her slippers :)

The coolest and most painful shoes ever...lol! What we do for beauty...

Josh and the guys

Katie and her bridesmaids - these were gorgeous handmade gowns!!!

Katie & Josh did their First Look in the sanctuary...Josh gave Katie his purity ring - sweet!

Too many ceremony shots to share, but there were several 'ring incidents'... Josh's guys handed him a candy ring before giving Katie the real ring... and Katie's best gal did not have Josh's ring! So the pastor kindly let them borrow his for the ceremony. Too funny! Memories like this are not forgotten!

The happy couple are off on their honeymoon! 

Have a wonderful trip, many blessings to you both! Thank you for everything - it was so awesome to be there to capture this day for you!

The Wedding of Julia & Ryan!

Well there is one word that sums up this wedding: ROMANCE!!! There was definitely sparks of romance all over this wedding, in every detail and, of course, between Julia and Ryan :)

Their wedding was held recently at the Whitlock Inn...and despite the rain that came in right before the ceremony and kept things wet off and on that evening, it was an amazing event! I'll let the photos tell the story... many thanks to Evie Perez for assisting Julia and Ryan's wedding with me!

Ryan...in Marietta Square alley prior to the ceremony...

Glamour shot of a glamorous bride!

I love this shot by Evie... Julie getting more wedding ideas before walking down the aisle :)

Needless to say, they had a few Red Bulls before this shot...

You wouldn't know it from the shot, but the rain was just beginning.

First dance :)

Congratulations Julia & Ryan!

Here's to your new life together as one - and your upcoming adventures on your move out west. Many blessings to you! Thank you for having me (and Evie) as part of your day :)
