The Exceptional Foundation Chili Cook-off {Fundraiser}

This past weekend Charles & I headed over to Brookwood mall to capture the Chili Cook-off fundraiser for The Exceptional Foundation.  They had a huge turnout of over 10,000 people come out to support their great cause & try out some delicious chili from the 89 different teams!  I also had the pleasure of working with another local photographer, Angela Marino from A. Marino Photography & DJ Chris Amerson with Amerson Events who were volunteering their time as well.  It was a fantastic day for everyone & I hope we will have more opportunities to work with this great organization! 





















Prompalooza!! {Fundraiser}

I had the pleasure last night to work with a great group of people from Collage Designer Consignment & the YWCA for their annual Prompalooza which benefits the YWCA's My Sister's Closet program!  So many girls showed up to their VIP night to get first pick of the gorgeous gowns for their big prom night!  There were great giveaways, yummy snacks & fun music from 99.5 The Vibe!  Their big event is this weekend on Saturday, March 8th so if you or your girls are looking for the perfect dress for Prom (or any special event) be sure to check them out!

Oh, and we are available for senior portraits <wink, wink>  :)

Happy shopping, y'all















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!
