As you may have noticed, I’m in the process of updating my website. Let me know what you think of the new logo and look! I’m very excited about it. Unfortunately, I’ve run into some snags with the blog update and will be working on it over the next day or two. Hopefully, everything will be running smoothly very soon.

Happy New Year!

Robert and Teleah were married on June 27 at a beautiful wedding and colorful and fun reception! I’ve included a couple of their images in case you don’t remember them. Their write-up was in the paper this past Sunday. Just wanted to share! I’m so sad that they are moving to South Carolina. Teleah has promised me she will come back to B’ham for maternity photos (don’t worry, Robert…I think she is planning on that event in the very distant future!).

Wendy and Frank are just adorable together! They have known each other most of their lives and seem to be absolute best friends. The wedding is in March–we had their engagement session a couple of weeks ago on Morris Avenue. We had a beautiful afternoon with perfect weather. Here are several of my favorite images from the day along with their “love story” slideshow. Please feel free to comment.

Do you collect teddy bears or know anyone who does? Gina Zimmerman of Helena makes bears by hand in a variety of sizes starting at just over 1 inch tall! Here are some images of her bear, Douglas, who is being entered into a national competition, the 2010 TOBY (Teddy Bear of the Year) Award sponsored by “Teddy Bears & Friends” magazine. Good luck, Gina! “Douglas” is absolutely adorable! We had the privilege of photographing “Douglas” for his entry and wanted to share him here. I’ve included a photo of “Douglas” in Gina’s hand to show scale. Isn’t he awesome???

Carla and Andy have been coming to me since before Jack was born. I photographed him when he was only days old as well as his milestones (holding head up; sitting up alone; first birthday). It is such a joy to share in Carla and Andy’s lives in this way! Baby Kate was born just about three weeks ago. Here’s the slideshow from their recent session in the studio as well as a few of my favorite images. Jack is almost two and was quite busy playing in the studio so most of the images are of sleeping Baby Kate with Carla and Andy. I plan to see Jack again for his second birthday images–it should be a blast!
