The Calvert Family

The Calvert Family has had an exciting year and were looking forward to a few shots of their growing family.


As always the females are more excited than the males, but overall they were ready.


It ended up being a freezing day in December that was mixed within a week of sixties and seventies. The wind was also trying to make the day much more difficult than it had to be. The sun was shining down though and that was definitely the saving grace.



We chose the location because of the prominent Christmas theme.


If you want to capture your family and preserve how you are right now, before any changes, and we all know children grow everyday call me and we can make it happen.

The Walters Family

Atheena called me to schedule a shoot for her family, this was going to be for a gift for her parents. This is one of the great thins about photography, it can be shared with so many people in so many amazing ways. If you ever draw a blank for someone for Christmas a photograph is always appreciated.





For this session we chose The Rail Road Park in Birmingham. This park has the ability to put you in total ownership of Birmingham. It is also a great location for larger and multiple families.















This was a great session and I was able to meet some truly amazing people that I hope I am able to work with again.
The family was in great spirits and was full of character which always makes a session enjoyable for everyone involved.
















I hope that you enjoying going through a few of the photographs that were taken at this session and if you are ready to have a session personalized for you I am ready to add you to my calendar.

The Stagner Family

Meeting the Stagner family was great, they are a great family. What made this even more special was it was actually 2 sessions. One for each side of the family. I hope that everyone who received a photograph for Christmas enjoyed it. I know that I enjoyed taking them.





The Birmingham Botanical Gardens were in full fall color for the first session, which made everything even more gorgeous. The children brought so much beauty with them, and added to the fall colors it was truly a great experience. The second session we started at the Botanical Gardens, but it was so cold we headed to a house nearby to finish them up. Amazing what a few days in Alabama does for the weather.















Meeting the family has truly been one of the many Christmas blessing that I received this year and I look forward to working with them again.























To capture your family today so that you can cherish the moment for all of the tomorrows contact me.

The Key Family Sport's Day

The Key Family is like so many other families including mine, they do sports year round for multiple children. While some see this as a burden many people, including myself, see this as a blessing. Raising children is not an easy task, but it is a gift and one that we should accept and do our best at. This includes helping them to figure out who they are and what they want to be.


Learning multiple sports allows them to walk multiple paths and excel at discipline and coordination. They also learn how to excel socially which is not something that can be taught easily.





Sports are fun and should be. They are a learning experience and a growing experience and should be embraced.








































The Key's have an opportunity to have a sports collage made for them from Athletic Arts and this is why they called me. They needed shots of them in the sports that they enjoy the most, three from each child.














This was a great experience for me and they seemed to enjoy themselves as well. I look forward to seeing the final product.




































If you want to capture your child as they grow in sports and in life contact me and we will make it happen. I can attend a sporting event or we can stage it in your front yard. I work with my clients so that they can enjoy the experience as much as I do.










Monicathach@gmail.com or (205) 229-1865 are the best ways to contact me to get on the calendar!

































































































































































































































Tammy and Olivia








A beautiful mother and daughter session was the highlight of my Monday after Thanksgiving. Tammy and her daughter were beautiful both inside and out, which makes for a great session as the light inside of them and the love that they have for each other can be seen in each session.


Running the deal on living social has been great for my calendar, but mostly because of the amazing people that I have met from it. Tammy and Olivia are just one example of many.

Olivia arrived all smiles and was that way until the session was over, or close enough that we wrapped it up. She was in great spirits and definitely a trooper as we walked up and down the street.


We chose Morris Avenue for their session. It was perfect for the look that Tammy wanted. It enabled us to get many different looks with only a few steps to go. It also kept Olivia occupied so she was not bored with the everyday scenery.


If you want to capture the smiles between you and your sweet child. Contact me at Monicathach@gmail.com or (205)229-1865 and we can get you scheduled for your personalized photo session.
