Ballerina Beth

Beth has been doing ballet since she was a little girl.  Of course to me she is still a little girl!  Now she is just taller and has a talent that has been nurtured perfectly by her amazing mom!  Being able to go photograph her was a treat, I honestly could have watched her dance for days.  Her abilities to tell a story and move so gracefully were astonshing. 
 She is applying to the Alabama School of Fine Arts and she needed this session.  It was definitely enjoyable and I hope to photograph her dancing again!  It was a lot of fun just like Beth.  She is so full of personality and grace, and it was awesome to be a small part of this part of her journey through life!

Gabrielle's Royal Gala


For anyone who thinks that Princess exist in fairy tales only they have not yet the beautiful Princess Gabrielle. 
Her Birthday Party was fit for only a Princess.  It had a magical wishing well where her loyal subjects could take a penny and throw it in and make a wish, that we all know has no choice but to come true.



She had pizza, and hot wings, pasta salad, and more.  It was a royal buffet full of her favorite foods.

She shared her crown, well she made new crowns with her friends.  They were thrilled to be treated like royalty.

There was a cupcake tower that was enjoyed by everyone.

Cookies were there and decorated by all.  These were works of edible art.
The party was a success with many gifts bestowed upon the beautiful princess.  Her favorite gift though was the time that she spent with her family and friends.

Thank you so much for allowing me to be a party of Gabrielle's special day!  If you want to capture your princess's special day let me know.  (205) 229-1865 or monicathach@gmail.com.  The best part about a photographer capturing the special moments is that you are able to enjoy yourself!

The Posey Family

I ran a promotion with Living Social Families, which was a great promotion for my company. More than the amount of new clients, it has been the ability to get to know and work with so many amazing people who I might not have met had I not ran the promotion.






The Posey family was fun to work with, it was a beautiful day and Mount Laurel won the location decision. The Christmas decorations were stunning and there are so many other locations where photographs are perfect. It is a great place with many options.













Since the family will soon be growing by one it was great to capture them now, they are fun loving, and enjoy smiling and just being them.





































To capture your family today to remember exactly where you were and what you were doing tomorrow contact me and we will make it happen.

The Kelsch Family

Family moments are all beautiful and when they are captured they can truly be treasured. To have something tangible that shows the love of a family is something that should not have to be associated with anything other than special.














The Kelsch family was great to work with. Erin called when she knew that her husband was coming home to make an appointment. We chose Mount Laurel, because of the variations in backgrounds that come with just a few steps. Also the Christmas decorations are hard to resist in December. They were heading to Savannah just a few days after the shoot so it was great to capture them as a family in Birmingham.




















This particular morning ended up being so cold. It was supposed to rain and as that moved out of the forecast the temperature started to drop. Arriving there I will have to say it was cold, and the wind was horrible. I was thankful that there was no rain, just the sun and a clear blue sky.

















The girls were adorable and other than being frozen they were great sports. They wanted pictures with each other, with their mom, and most definitely with their daddy. We even got in a few individual pictures.





The Kelsch's were great to work with. I am so thankful that my career allows me to meet and work with so many different people who all touch my life in different, but all positive ways.










If you want to capture your family in the moment, then let me know and we will create a customized session that will work best for you.

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.
