Ava

May 24th, 2010

Time to be honest. On my way to this shoot, I was preparing myself for some hard, hard work. That’s okay, of course. But, why? Well, I photographed Ava last summer and let’s just say she wasn’t all too thrilled with the experience. Sure, there were some glimmers of happiness throughout, but we really had [...]

 

Time to be honest. On my way to this shoot, I was preparing myself for some hard, hard work. That’s okay, of course. But, why? Well, I photographed Ava last summer and let’s just say she wasn’t all too thrilled with the experience. Sure, there were some glimmers of happiness throughout, but we really had to earn it!

Back to The Botanical Gardens, within the first shutter click there was laughter and silly faces galore! It was amazing. It was a different child. How could this be? Surely this is just a fluke. Oh contraire. Take a look below.

Week 19

May 23rd, 2010

This is Ashley, my sister-in-law. When she announced that she was expecting, I thought that a photo series could be a possibility. You see, I wasn’t around when she was pregnant with her first born, Walker. I was in college, she was in Chicago. I’ve been looking forward to putting my little twist on maternity [...]

 

This is Ashley, my sister-in-law. When she announced that she was expecting, I thought that a photo series could be a possibility. You see, I wasn’t around when she was pregnant with her first born, Walker. I was in college, she was in Chicago. I’ve been looking forward to putting my little twist on maternity for awhile now! Of course, it’s not a new idea; she did it, he shoots a great series and my friend, Kamin, recently shot a weekly series (& outtakes) with her sister. So, we thought we’d document every month (or so) of the pregnancy.

In case you were wondering, Ashley is having a girl! I think when she told me, I did some damage to her poor eardrum. Be sure to keep checking back for updates and to watch her belly grow!

The Simmons Family

May 19th, 2010

Sit back, relax and prepare yourself for an overdose of cute. Seriously, I just couldn’t bring myself to narrow this post down anymore. You can see their last shoot here. I didn’t think it was possible, but Henry’s cuteness has doubled! I had so much fun with Henry’s mom styling their shoot. You should’ve seen [...]

Charlie

May 12th, 2010

About an hour before our shoot, Charlie’s mom texted me, “Charlie is in a mood with a capital M. All I can say is good to you ” I just cracked up when I read that. As you will see, he had some pretty silly faces to show me. He was convinced that we would [...]

 

About an hour before our shoot, Charlie’s mom texted me, “Charlie is in a mood with a capital M. All I can say is good to you icon wink Charlie ” I just cracked up when I read that. As you will see, he had some pretty silly faces to show me. He was convinced that we would find a gorilla somewhere…the rocks, the water…one’s gotta be around! No gorillas were found, but he seemed to have a lot of fun exploring.

Claire

May 5th, 2010

You must remember Claire…I photographed her birth! So, here she is, 9 days old. Snuggly, sleepy, head full of hair. There wasn’t a blanket or prop that Claire saw that she didn’t want to pee or poop on. I think Miss Claire is going to give her mom and dad a run for their money. [...]

If you are expecting or have a sweet baby at home, I’d love to schedule an exclusive iPad consultation with you!

Ella & Gehrig

May 3rd, 2010

The first thing Ella & Gehrig’s mom told me about their session was that she wanted it to be on the University of Montevallo campus. That’s where she graduated and wanted the rich history to be a big part of her photos. So, off we went. Ella was a dream to shoot. I’m not sure [...]

 

The first thing Ella & Gehrig’s mom told me about their session was that she wanted it to be on the University of Montevallo campus. That’s where she graduated and wanted the rich history to be a big part of her photos. So, off we went.
Ella was a dream to shoot. I’m not sure I heard one little whimper come out of her mouth. Gehrig was a pistol! He won me over when we both got into our cars to leave and he cried because I wasn’t coming along with him. My heart melted.
