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!

Baby James {1 Year Portrait}

We photographed the Beegle family last Fall and I can't believe how much baby James has grown since then! He just turned 1 year old & we went to the park for a little balloon time & of course some cake! To say that James got into his smash cake would be an understatement - he DESTROYED it!! Haha! (He even tried to eat the cardboard it was on & faceplanted into it when we wouldn't let him, lol!) Some of it went in his mouth but the rest he wore proudly as he tried to crawl around - it was adorable & hysterical! 

Happy birthday, little dude!! <3

Baby Ava {1 Year Portrait}

We photographed baby Ava's parents' wedding a few years ago so it was such a treat to take her 1 year portraits! We went to the Botanical gardens & even though it was like a million degrees outside, this sweet girl was so happy to be there! Of course who wouldn't be excited to have all your besties with you (Mickey, Minnie & Bear) AND have a cake all to yourself?! 

Happiest of birthdays to you, baby girl!! <3
