John + Claire {Proposal}

Early last week I got a phone call from John who was planning to propose to his girlfriend Claire at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens.  He wanted photos of the moment it happened & a fun photo session afterwards.  Having never done proposal photos before I was super excited & nervous as I hid behind a wall under a sticker bush (ouch!) and awaited their arrival…  his proposal was just perfect & of course she said YES!  Getting to know them afterwards during the rest of their session I could really see their love for each other & how much fun they have together.  I hope you enjoy this peek into their session & I wish them all the best for a wonderful wedding day & marriage!

Congrats!

Barnes Family Portrait

We had the pleasure of photographing Anna & Blake's wedding back in 2006 & when they called me to do a family portrait of their whole family I was more than happy to work with them again!  It was quite chilly for their session out at Ross Bridge but they all braved the cold with me & we had a great time!  Here are a few of my favorites from their session, enjoy!

2013 Fall Mini: Lard Family

This sweet family have been our neighbors since Charles & I first moved in to our house!  We have talked about doing a family session for a while now, since baby Hank was born, it just never quite worked out until this past weekend!  I'm so glad I finally got to work with Anna, Jeff & Anna's parents and of course Hank-man!  (Hank the tank!)  Here are a few of my favorites from their session!

2013 Fall Mini: DeBardeleben Family

I remember back in 2006 when these two were married & I myself was still a newlywed too!  It's such a pleasure to have great couples from our past call us up to do a family portrait for them years after we first worked together!  Mary Ellen, Charles & their beautiful daughter Ellis couldn't be more precious!  I loved getting to do a quick session with them & here are a few of my favorites!

2013 Fall Mini : Will {Senior}

I met up with Will at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens for his mini session to do some fun senior portraits.  He's a sweet guy & I had fun hearing about the great things he wants to do with his future!  Here's a few of my favorites from his session!

Jennifer {Bridal}

Now that this lovely bride is happily married, I can finally share some of her gorgeous bridal portraits!  We went down to Morris Avenue in downtown Birmingham, AL for Jennifer's session - I had such a great time working with her!  Hope you enjoy this preview & congrats to the happy couple!
