Last week I had the opportunity to photograph Brandy Jones for her book jacket. She is a published author of children’s books. She has a new book coming out titled Petunia. Here is one of the images we created for Brandy as well as a spread from her new book. Brandy is so talented! She started writing when she was very young (try second grade!). Petunia was inspired by her own daughter and her daughter’s favorite stuffed animal, a tutu wearing piglet. Watch for her book! I’ll let you know when it is published and available for purchase. Maybe we should have a book signing at LaReunion or 122 Tree Lane!

Wendy is an absolutely stunning bride! We had a great time in the studio today.  Here’s the only photo from today’s session I dare to post until after the wedding! The earrings were a gift from Frank for her high school graduation–they’ve been friends and have dated all through high school and college. The wedding is March 13–I can’t wait!

Carla and Baby Kate came in the studio today for Kate’s 3 month session. What a delightful baby! We had a great time while she modeled several different outfits. I’m working on a wedding storybook today so I haven’t gone through all of her images–this one jumped out at me, and I just had to share!

Tammy Harrison with PCT Inc came back from a trade show recently and brought me this adorable little bee in honor of my new logo. It was so thoughtful of Tammy–I just had to share! What shall we name the little bee??? I used my macro lens and photographed him on my business card, using another card as a backdrop. This little guy is my mascot.

Sexy, sassy sirens–images based on the old pin-up illustrations and photographs just so we can “B Girls”! What a wonderful way to celebrate being a female. Brides love this type of photography as a special gift to their grooms (perhaps on their wedding night!); women who work out and are in the best shape of their lives no matter their ages are “B Girls;” celebrating a birthday milestone? have a birthday party with a couple of your best friends in the studio! “B Girls” is for you!

Enjoy this slideshow of Caleb from our recent session. We really had a great time both outside and in the studio.

Perfect Wedding Guide has a cool library located in Homewood where brides can research vendors from all over the Birmingham area. They can look at books from photographers, florists, and caterers to name a few. PWG also has a blog that is quite informative. If you’re recently engaged and planning your wedding, check out their blog. If you’re thinking of saving money by not hiring a professional photographer, check out a short article I wrote: “Hire a Pro”–check it out at the PWG Blog.

Chris and Tiffany came by this morning to view a slideshow of their wedding storybook. Here’s a slideshow…you’ll be looking at a 2-page spread at a time.
