It is a little chilly today and bad weather to be moving in.  I thought I would post something that shows pretty gardens on a sunny day.  Enjoy!

Family Portraits in the Garden

Leave a reply

It has been a busy few months, both in my business life and my personal life.  God is good and we look forward to what He has in store for us in this 2012 year!

I have done a number of maternity sessions (will post more on them later).  And some commercial work (which I love to do and have done little of since becoming a mom 13 years ago!) I will write more about that in a later post as well.  Nonetheless, I have been a terrible blogger these last few months.  I do regularly post to my business Facebook page and those posts will end up as tweets on this blog.  Feel free to “like” my business page where you can see those posts when they are made.

I am still looking for Newborn Models!  We have many new props that I am eager to photograph with a precious little one.  Do you know someone who is expecting or just had a new baby?  Newborn portraits are best when the baby is 1-2 weeks old.  Please have them call me – 205-807-1223 or Send Mail to schedule a session.  Note: It is our policy to keep your contact information confidential.  Your information will never to given to or sold to another party.  Nor will you be hit with spam.

Now on to the good stuff!  Photographs!

I have photographed this family since the daughter was an infant!  I first took their portraits on Baby Dedication Sunday.  At that time, I took infants and family portraits of all the babies & their families who were being dedicated at our church.  They are a real joy to be around!  The dad used to be a reservist and when the mom was expecting the 2nd child (boy), he was called off to Kuwait.  God is good an protected him for the time he was serving in the Middle East.  In fact, the military sent him home for the birth of his son!  The children adore each other.  Such a credit to both their Mom and Dad!

Yes, they are this sweet!

A true blessing to their mom and dad.

Mom loves the ‘Hand Tinted’ look.

This is the image that Mom chose for her wall portrait.  Good choice!

Back in film days, I made ‘Hand Tinted’ of the portraits of the children.

For those of us who love the “Hand-Tinted” look, there are several papers that the                 ’Digital Hand Tints’ look good printed on.

What can I say, boys will be boys and dads come pretty close.  It is really fun to catch moments like these.

He perked up for a few more… LOL!

These last 3 will make a beautiful wall display.  Especially with the large wall portrait of the whole family!

We are currently booking for Spring Portrait Sessions.  Call ASAP to get the time slot that you prefer.  If you would like to be included in our next newsletter email, please fill out the form listed in the beginning of this post.  We are also looking for newborn models!  If you know someone who is expecting or just had a baby, have them call me~205-807-1223.

Have a wonderful & safe weekend!

Children's Portraits at Aldridge Garden Birmingham Alabama

When I do a session at Aldridge Gardens, it never fails (especially when I have a little boy) that we get a ‘parting’ image.  ;-)   I even have 2 girls in heirloom dresses standing next to these bronze statues.  The light is always horrible, but we take the photographs anyway.  And the children just love them!  I have even had parents order the portraits.

I think the light was agreeing with us on this day, or at least, in a couple of the portraits.  And Mr. K here is having a very good time!

His teenage sister passed on the opportunity to have her portrait made with the Hair and Turtle.  And I cannot say that I much blame her. :D

Aldridge Gardens, located in Hoover, Alabama is a beautiful place to have children’s and family portraits taken.  If you are interested in a session, call me and I will be happy for the opportunity to photograph your family in the gardens.
