Laura + David

I just love this couple, and love when you can look back at the photos and SEE how much they love each other! :) Laura and David got married May 3 in Clarksville, TN and I finally finished their wedding slideshow! I went to highschool with Laura and most of the bridesmaids... so it was SO much fun to be there and capture every moment of the big day! It was so neat to shoot their engagement pictures last fall and get to know the couple before the wedding... The most memorable moment of the wedding, hands down: the bride and groom jumped behind the mic to sing a couple of songs with the band. Laura performed her usual requested reception song, 'Me and Bobby McGee' and then Patsy Cline's 'Crazy' and sweet David closed down the party with 'Dixieland Delight' (hence the song choices for the slideshow)... classic. :)

Elizabeth + Charlie

My cousin is getting married! :) So happy to soon welcome Elizabeth to our family! She's such a sweetheart and was just beautiful in every shot! I had such a great time shooting their engagement pictures in downtown Clarksville, the historic L&N train station (famous for The Monkee's 'Last Train to Clarksville') and on our family farm. It was so strange to watch what seemed like my dad standing there... They've always looked just alike and have so many of the same mannerisms. Elizabeth and Charlie are getting married in September, and I'll be there with my camera, too!

Carter Day

At what age did we start caring about a little sucker juice running down our bellies? Recently, I photographed my good friend's little man... Cater Day. It's always quite the adventure chasing around toddlers, trying to focus, meter the light, and think about composition all at once... but it's so rewarding when you get that one great shot out of 50! I wasn't sure how many we would even be able to shoot when I arrived... at first sight of my giant frame (his parents are a good half foot shorter than me)... he screamed and ran out of the room. He couldn't even look at me for a good 20 minutes, even after I removed my shoes and crawled around on my knees. It was hilarious. You would have thought I came in his room and punched him. Ha ha... After a little playtime and his dad showing up with a big bundle of red balloons, he didn't care much about the giant photographer anymore and we went outside to play...















































This one cracks me up... we were just playing in his room and his mom turned on the dancing spider-man... he immediately ran to the wall and glued himself there, staring at spidey in fear. It was so funny... I couldn't quit laughing, poor thing was horrified. And of course, after lots of playing outside, we needed a cartoon break. Typical guy. You can tell I was standing in the way of his favorite show. Ha.







And then a little dinner... and bath time. (How cute is his little blow-up ducky bath tub?!) Whew. After over 700 photos, Carter and I were both worn out. :)

Brooke + Cleve

One of my best buddies, Brooke, and her fiancé, Cleve...
They recently moved to Cincinnati... boo... but came back to Birmingham for their engagement photo shoot on Morris Ave. I'm also shooting their wedding in Southport, NC this fall. SO excited! View their slideshow here. Just love these two. :)
