{Sneak Peak} Birmigham, Alabama child photograher

I got to hang out with these two 7 year old twins on Sunday and I have to say that not only are they really really handsome, but they are funny too. They had so many ideas for pictures they wanted to try out and they kept cracking me up (and I edited some extra ones just for you guys that I will have in your gallery when it’s ready). I loooove funny kids. They make my job extra fun and it keeps me on my toes. We tried out several locations even though it was unbelievably hot that day and there was not really any complaining from any of the kids.
Anyway, I loved meeting you guys and I hope you like your sneak peak.

I have a serious girl so I really like serious faces as well. Isn’t he handsome?

Did I mention they had the best smiles? I know mom really wanted some smiles and she promised them a possible prize if she liked their smiles.

I have to some of the fun shots we took as well. I love shots of kids in motion so I had to include some running ones. Here’s how it went….


This one seriously crack me up. You might hate me for this one one day. I asked them to come up with something and this is what they gave me. Mom kept saying “do you have to stick out your butt so much?”. This one makes me laugh!!!

{Sneak Peak} Birmingham, Alabama baby photogapher

Yesterday I got to hang out with Maggie at her house for her 1 year pictures. She as grown so much since I last took er picture when she was 6 months and she is just as cute. She is such a great walker now too. She was in a great mood during our session and I got so many cute pictures of her. Their yard is also amazing with such a pretty golden light so it made the pictures light and airy.
I love photographing children her age. They are so full of personality and have so many different expressions and they are just pure fun.
I hope you guys like your sneak peak and than you so much for letting me come over!!

{Jaki and Joshua} Birmingham, Alabama, engagement photographer

I met up with Jaki and Joshua for their engagement session last night. I have known Jaki since she moved here and her sister and I are really really good friends. Sofia loves her too and when she asked if I could take some pictures for her and Joshua I had to say yes even though I pretty much only do kids:) The weather had been beautiful all day, but by the time of our session it had became really cloudy so our soft backlight photo session couldn’t happen:) Luckily Jaki and Joshua wasn’t very picky and was open to try anything. They are such a cute and fun couple and it was a pleasure to hang out and take your pictures!!! I’m excited about your wedding that’s coming up soon….I’m going to be a guest, not taking pictures:) I have no intentions of ever becoming a wedding photographer.
Anyway, here’s a sneak peak from your session. I hope you like them. Aren’t they such a beautiful couple?





I always love pictures like this so I had to try them out:) It’s things like this I can’t try with my own child yet so I’m glad they let me do these pictures.

{Cake smash storyboard} Birmingham, Alabama child photographer

This is a small storyboard from a cake smash I did with Miss Emme this weekend. It turned out really cute even though it was over in maybe…2.5 minutes. She had been such a happy girl during the session, but by the end she had had enough. Not even yummy cake could make her want to do this:)

It’s sometimes hard to figure out how to display images that would go well together. I think storyboards are the perfect way of doing this. Storyboards can be mounted several different ways, such as on styrene or on a canvas which makes them easy to display.

{Sneak peak} Birmingham, Alabama child photographer

I got to hang out with Emma and her mom today and we had a really good time. I just can’t get over how big Emma has gotten and how fast time flies. Emma’s mom actually found out that she was pregnant with Emma the day Sofia was born and she was born on my wedding anniversary…now, that’s pretty cool:)
Emma is such a so funny little girl…after she gets a few pictures taken she comes running over to me to see her picture…I guess I can’t blame her for making sure she looks good:) She’s just the cutest little girl and I always have fun hanging out with them. We got to see each other again soon!!!
