Brandon + Marcy {Summer Garden Proposal}

Early last week I got a call from Brandon. He was planning the perfect proposal to his girlfriend Marcy and that included photos, of course! Since Brandon had never been to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, I helped him choose the perfect spot to pop the question. I was hiding in plain sight, pretending to take photos of flowers nearby, so that when he got down on one knee - I was ready! As you can see, Marcy had no idea what was going on but quickly figured it out & said YES!!  We spent the next hour walking around the gardens together taking engagement photos while Marcy told me about how perfect the whole day had already been, and this just made it that much better!

It was a gorgeous day and a sweet, perfect proposal. Thanks for choosing me to capture it for you!
Congratulations & happy wedding planning!



















Mallory {Senior Session}

Mallory is the youngest of her sisters, whose senior portraits I've also photographed over the years. It was such a pleasure and honor to work with her for these senior portraits out at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens earlier this week. She's a natural in front of the camera (even though she doesn't think so!) and it was exciting to hear her talk about graduating and heading to Auburn University in the fall! Congratulations, Mallory! 











Mathews Family Mini

I've worked with some of the lovely Mathews family before for a Fall Mini session.They contacted me to do another Mini with more of their family to celebrate a recent marriage in the family! Congrats to the newlyweds & thanks for calling me to capture these sweet photos for you!






Baby Florence Rose {Newborn}

The Debardeleben family welcomed their second daughter, Florence Rose only short 2 weeks ago! Big sister Louisa is so sweet with her baby sis and they are all smitten already! Flo was an absolute angel for her session & slept through the whole thing - luckily I've got the photos to show her it happened! Congrats to the new family of 4!
