Something I love

As a photographer there are lots and lots of things I want. My wish list is miles long:) It’s easy for me to be tempted to spend money on stuff I want but if I think hard I probably can live without it. I just want to mention something I actually think is well worth the small investment and that I’m not sure i can live without:) It’s my camera strap. It’s from a company called phat straps. They have a huge variety of handmade straps and they come in so many different fabrics and colors. I got mine a while ago and they don’t have the one I chose any longer, but if I was going to get another one I think I would have picked this one:

Or maybe I would have picked this one?
I love this one too:
Aren’t they cute? (The pictures are from their website and are not taken by me but I got permission to use them). What I love about it besides the fun fabrics is that it is so soft and comfortable. If you are looking for a cute and comfortable camera strap you should check out phat straps.

    Cute! I want one!

    Ok, so now I’m tempted. I’m always complaining about how heavy the camera gets and how uncomfortable the strap is. I’m kinda partial to the first one on the page :-)

{Sneak Peak} Birmingham, Alabama child photographer

I got to have a session with Emma this past Friday. Emma turned 2 in May and we had to get some delayed birthday shots of her. I have know Emma’s family for years and I love this little girl!! She and my little girl loves to get together and play and I was so excited when her mom asked me to take her pictures. I think she’s just so cute and has such an innocent look. She’s not the easiest subject I have photographed and her mom and I had to work really really hard for our pictures…I guess that’s how it should be when photographing 2 year olds:)
Anyway, here’s some of the pictures I love from the session. I hope you like themas much as I do.



I always have to include a movement shot because I love those of children. I love how she’s twirling around for me. It’s the perfect way of capturing childhood.

{Sneak Peak} Birmingham, Alabama child and family photographer

I got to see this really fun family this evening. I did some pictures for the little girl right before Christmas and she has gotten so big since that time. Wow, it reminds me of how much time flies. It was my first time meeting her 2 big sisters and I was so lucky to get to photograph the whole family this time. It was not a good evening for photography…it was drizzling a little and really really dark, but we made it work as well as we could and I am so glad we didn’t cancel. The whole family is just so much fun and I really had a great time. I love my job:)
Anyway, aren’t they just such a gorgeous family?
I hope you like your sneak peak.

Isn’t she such a beautiful girl? She has such a great personality and it really shows in her pictures.

She was such a cutie and I love her smile…just love it. It makes me smile.

I always have to show at least one serious one and this is the one for today. I really love how it turned out.

You know I’m all for families having fun and this sequence just makes me smile. Let me add that no one was hurt while doing this even though there was a fall:) The girls were going to run as fast as they could and stop to give hugs. It started of good…..both girl are running.

Ooooops, she ran a little to far and…..

A little fall happened. She got right up and luckily was fine.

This is how it should have ended the first time.
