Ewa and Janek Mroczek

When Ewa called me and set up a session for pictures I was so excited. Ewa and Janek were married, but in New York and they wanted some pictures here. She also wanted pictures in the gown she got for her reception since most of the pictures on their wedding day she was in her ceremony gown.

Newlyweds are great at all times for so many reasons. They are happy and in love and so affectionate. They know that they are blessed with many tomorrows but do not take them for granted.

Love at it's perfection is what I saw when I met Ewa and Janek. They were so much fun to work with. They are definitely a beautiful couple and just seem to fit perfectly.

They chose to have the pictures done at Aldridge Gardens. We still had some fall colors, but many of them were on the ground with the recent rain. It was beautiful though.





The weather was a bit concerning at first as it had been raining off and on all day. Fortunately we were blessed with a window of time without rain, in fact it came as we finished up.

If you missed moments at your wedding that you wanted captured or you have a wedding coming up an you do not want to miss those moments call me and let's get you on the calendar. 2012 is booking fast!

A Day with Morgan

This photo shoot was so much fun. Morgan is such a sweet little girl with so much personality and life. Her mom wanted her captured being herself so we let her go and I simply followed.

The session was at Indian Springs Village. The campus is absolutely stunning and I am so glad that I was able to come here. I hope to go back soon.

The weather was perfect for a day outside just having a good time. It is always nice to get outside and just have a good time and enjoy the sun. That is exactly what we did on this wonderful day in November.

Morgan is full of personality and was a lot of fun to follow. She seemed to know everyone around and was not shy with them. She was also more than willing to share some smiles which is always nice for picture day. Her mom was wonderful as well. She was so easy to talk to and get along with. She wanted to have Morgan captured and that is what I made happen. It was truly one of my favorite photo shoots today. Candid shoots are just relaxed and natural.

If you want to capture your little one and remember them at that special age contact me and we will have a day together soon.

The Gee Family

The Gee family was great to photograph and get to know. Even though the parent's are not photographed, they were all great, and I know that family pictures would have been beautiful.

The kids were great sports.

The weather at the Botanical Gardens was truly perfect for a November afternoon. With weather as perfect as it was there were many families at the Gardens taking pictures. So we had to walk a little more and wait a little more than usual, but the kids seemed to enjoy themselves and that is what matters the most!

It was so much fun to photograph these children. They were full of personality and smiles, which is always a plus with children, when they are not in the mood it can be a challenge, but overall they were great and I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to work with them all.

The foliage at the Gardens was still beautiful. It is that time of year when it is either there or it is gone. I am glad that it was still there. I know that the Gee's were as well.

If you want to capture the smiles of your children today and let them be themselves and have fun contact me today and we will schedule an appointment.

Alexa is Two Months Old

Let me start by saying I cannot believe that Alexa is already 2 months old. She has grown so much and is such a sweet baby. I am so glad that I have been able to be a part of her life, at least capturing her at different points for her mom and dad to cherish forever. I am already ready for her three month pictures. So many cute ideas.

For these we went to the Aldridge Botanical Gardens in Hoover. We wanted to make sure we had some in her Halloween costume and since they had the pumpkins and the great fall colors it seemed like the perfect place.

I am so glad that we went there. It was cold and we had to work fast but it was a great day.

If you want to capture those little moments for your little one contact me and we can make it happen.

Beautiful Bri

Bri has just turned thirteen and one of her gifts was a photo shoot with me. This was certainly an honor for me and I had a wonderful time. She seemed to have had a great time too.

We chose to do this at the Aldridge Botanical Gardens in Hoover. The fall colors were in full force and the day was absolutely perfect for a photo shoot.

I do not think we duplicated one pose as we walked the gardens and let Bri have a good time modeling.

She is a beautiful girl and was great to work with. I hope to be able to work with her and her family again soon. It was a great day with great company. As a photographer there is not much more that can be asked for.

Bri had a beautiful smile and a beautiful personality. I had to ask her if she watched America's Next Top Model because she definitely knew how to smize....or smile with her eyes.

If you want to work on your smize give me a call.

Taylor Brent

Taylor's mom hired me to get some pictures of her daughter and a few of her family. She was mainly concerned about getting updated pictures of her daughter, especially ones that would show off her gorgeous blue eyes.

We decided to meet on Morris Avenue. This is a great spot for anyone, but was perfect for Taylor's photo shoot. Being able to walk a few feet and have a completely new and unique backdrop is always a plus. It allows for me and the person I am photographing to have a little change. Morris Avenue is one of the oldest streets in Birmingham, possibly the oldest, and overall it is still preserved which makes it perfect for photo shoots. I am so glad that this was the location we decided on.

Taylor was great to work with. She is a beautiful girl inside and out. It was a privilege to photograph her, and I hope to get to work with the family more. As they were all great to work with.

The Baker Family

This photo shoot was the first time I met the Baker family. They are a beautiful family and they loved to smile, which is always nice to see especially when it is picture time.

We did these pictures at the Aldridge Botanical Gardens in Hoover. It was a great time of year with so many trees at their peak fall colors as well as some leaves on the ground, making for perfect pictures.

This was one of many Christmas sessions that I have this seasons. More coming soon.

Beautiful Peacock

I love sessions that have personality and are fun. While each session in my opinion is fun and unique some are great.

A friend of mine had asked me to photograph her daughter in her Halloween costume. Sophia is a beautiful little girl. I have come to know her from Danny's class they have been in class together since 1st grade. Being in 3rd now, Sophia is used to seeing me with my camera. I always bring it to their classrooms for various events.

We decide that the Birmingham Botanical Gardens would be the perfect place to find a Peacock and it definitely was. With the many options for locations in the one location we were able to have a lot of fun and get many unique and fun shots of Miss Sophia.

The Peacock costume was so cute. Her mom is definitely more creative than I am. There was so much personality and character in the costume and it showed off Sophia's personality and amazing blue eyes so well.

I can honestly say I am not sure I have ever seen a prettier peacock!

Crystal at Crystal's Creations made me a customized BOO for Halloween. This is going to be one of my favorite Fall props for many years. Thank you Crystal!

Sophia was full of spunk, even though she had just returned from a girl scout camp out. She has a gorgeous smile and a great personality. She was so much fun to work with and I hope that I am able to work with her again.

If you want your memories captured contact me and we will make it happen!
