Halloween

I love this kid! His big sister will make a later appearance, but she wasn't too game for pictures. She was on a MISSION for candy and didn't have time for her aunt Camille. But, the little man let me capture some pictures of him and a few of his favorite people; one day I am going to get a picture when I can steal him from "Mama" or from "Nanny."

Marriage. A Photo.

hehe... thought it was funny!

Yay!

I love it when a couple comes down the aisle, so excited about being married! I can just hear Brian saying, "yay!" The sun gave both me and Jessica a little bit of a challenge, but I love how it works in this image.

Brian and Lora, have fun in North Carolina for me! So jealous!

Take a peek...

LOVED Lora's beautiful wedding at the Sonnet House this weekend! This is my favorite venue by far and what a fun celebration!






Many thanks to my talented friend of Jessica Wright Photography who accompanied me at this wedding!

Stealing is Bad!

I am sad to say that I am going to have to make some changes to the pictures I post on my blog and on facebook. Sadly, I have had many instances lately where people have been using pictures inappropriately and against their contract boundaries.

I'd like to think that these people don't mean harm, but I am not certain of that. Either way, I have a strong desire to to protect my images: the images of my clients. I plan to do that by making 3 changes:
-disabling people from opening up a larger image on my blog
-placing my watermark "logo" on the images that go on facebook
-disabling the ability to right click anywhere on my blog

There may be more changes coming, but I am hoping this will do the trick. In the meantime, try to use your best judgement as to whether or not you are reproducing something that you should not allowed to reproduce. Remember that stealing is bad! There could also be prosecution for these instances, so be careful of that as well!

All photographers want to be able to showcase their images to their clients but also to others; however, photographers also want to protect the work that they do and are proud to show under their name! I can say this whole-heartedly because I have had multiple conversations with very talented photographers who would say the same thing.

*In other, more "light-hearted" news, I was able to photograph a really beautiful fall wedding yesterday and look forward to putting up images on my blog very soon!*

More of Lisa and Craig

Lisa and Craig were married earlier this month in Gardendale. I'm not sure what was my favorite part of the day - trying to find the "other" church, watching them and their sweet/emotional first look, enjoying the incredible bride's cake. It was all around an enjoyable day, and these two could not be kinder. Enjoy a few more pictures from their day:








And, be checking back for information about my recent trip, including a half marathon that I finished - yay!!!

Craig and Lisa

Craig and Lisa were married on Saturday in Gardendale. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know these two, and they weren't going to let anything stop them from enjoying their wedding -- not emergency surgery nor a nosebleed... not even Alabama losing in the midst of their wedding!

Seriously, though, these are two of the kindest people I have met in a while, and their laid-back love was nothing short of an honor to document. Here are a few images that show the beauty that was this fall wedding.


Check back for more updates in the next few weeks! Also, I have a few trips in the future that will need documenting as well...
