Kathleen and Dylan

Kathleen and Dylan are the sweetest couple ever!   Every time they look at each other their faces light up!   They were married at a cute place on Dauphin Island called "Isle Dauphin"  This was the first time I photographed there, and the artistic possibilities are endless!     The weather was "all over the place" that day...starting out extremely hot and sunny, then cloudy, then stormy, as we were trying to get a few last minute shots in!    The clouds in that storm were crazy, and Kathleen and Dylan were trying so hard to hold out until the last possible moment before the heavens opened up.  As you can see by the last photo, we all ran for cover as the downpour began!  I love the motion of that shot!  Congratulations Kathleen and Dylan, I know you will have a wonderful life together!   Thank you for letting me part of your awesome day!

Misti and Jason beach wedding

When Misti called and asked if I could possibly photograph her wedding on Dauphin Island I was excited as I LOVE beach weddings!  Then she said it was going to be THAT afternoon!  Luckily I was able to rearrange my schedule and get there in time to photograph the vows of this adorable couple who came all the way from Ohio!   It was just the two of them and the preacher...talk about romantic !!!  I was honored to be able to capture this very special day for this great couple!   Blessings to you both!

Tracy and Tony

So much going on here this summer...by the looks of my last post, I better make some time for blogging!   

Have to share some photos of a beautiful wedding I did at the Elizabethan Gardens in the  Outer Banks of North Carolina recently.    I met Tracy and Tony for the first time on their rehearsal night, and immediately adored them and their wonderful families.  It was so fun to see how much in love they were!  My favorite part of the wedding  day was watching Tony read a note  from Tracy right before the ceremony.   The emotion in his face was priceless,  everyone  around him was crying...including me!    It was such an awesome moment!   They had a phenomenal coordinator Marie Russell from Bordeaux Events who kept the day running smoothly, and made my job so much easier!   Wish I could have her with me at all my weddings!  Thanks Tracy and Tony for sharing your beautiful day with me..it was an honor.

Here are a few of my favorite images of the day.

Sara's Graduating!

Sara and her family drove in from Jacksonville last week-end to have me photograph their family, and her senior portraits.   We met in Pensacola, which was a challenge for me as I had never photographed there before,  and her parents were great at following me around while  I was looking for cool backgrounds.    She is really into art, so she was up for all the crazy ideas I had for her!   She is heading to graphic design school in the fall, and someday I'll be paying HER  to come up with cool ideas for me!

Sneak Peek at Wendy and Matt's Wedding

The  first time I met Wendy and Matt I could see the great connection they had with each other.  Totally in love, and ready to get on with their life together.   Their wedding was held at the beautiful Heron Lakes Country Club a few weeks ago, and I  just wanted to give a sneak peek at their special day.    Doesn't Wendy look stunning in her gown???

Fallon and Sean E session

I'm still here... life with 3 children can get crazy at times, and the past couple of months have been busy with travel, softball, soccer and lots of children activites!  I've got lots of great images to post to show you what I've been doing, and I have to start with a fun engagement sitting  I did a few weeks ago.

Beautiful Fallon was my first client I photographed after relocating to Mobile a year and a half ago.  She was instrumental at getting my name around town, and I am so grateful to her for that! I was ecstatic when she called to tell me she was engaged, and that they want me to photograph their wedding.   I took Sean and Fallon  out to do some engagement photos on a VERY windy day and  they took me exploring to parts of town I had never been.  It was so much fun!   I literally had goosebumps when I "saw the light"  bouncing off walls and reflecting  into their faces.  Then there was the coral wall that we stumbled upon that matched their clothing.   It couldn't have been more perfect.   They were both good sports about all the crazy ideas flowing through my mind.   I can't wait for the wedding!

Happy New Year!

So I'm a half a month behind on my resolution to blog once a week in 2008! I have a few other resolutions that I also need to get working on..Like remembering to send birthday cards to close friends and family...Organizing my office, finish decorating my new ( old ) house, and more date nights with my husband! I'm sure I could come up with a HUGE list of things I would like to do better this year, but I'll have to start small!

Thanks to all my clients who trusted me with their holiday portraits and Christmas cards this year ...it was such a fun ( and crazy) season! I photographed so many wonderful families...with absolutely adorable children...I wanted to share some of the images of my session with these 4 energetic little boys. They were so cute...and funny! I was in love with the face of the littlest one...he should be on greeting cards!

This  little guy had me cracking up..He was making ME laugh instead of the other way around!
