She is a little bit rock n roll, she loves books, boy bands, fashion, and is a fierce athlete. She marches to the beat of her own drum and we love that about her! We have watched her grow the last year and a half into a spectacular person! It never gets old photographing Sarah, so it was a "no brainer" that we wanted her to be one of our 2016 Senior Models! Her senior portrait session rocked and we are loving the images we captured! They show every bit of Sarah's personality!

The day was perfect. We truly enjoyed spending the day with Kinsey and Tom as they made a commitment to each other...a forever commitment. We have been photographing weddings for almost 9 years and it never gets old to see a sweet couple tie the knot. Kinsey and Tom said 'I Do' at the Sonnet House in Leeds, Alabama. It was a beautiful location for the ceremony and reception. The Sonnet House provided the perfect setting for this vintage themed wedding. Kinsey created some amazing details for the day down to her shoes...wearing Toms for the wedding but making them Tom's! Enjoy the sneak peek from their day! We had a blast!

We get asked all the time by seniors or parents about how to prepare for their session. As a professional photographer I've seen the difference between shoots that were great and those that were less great. The key ingredient to a great session revolves around planning and doing so with the help of other professionals. With that said we give you our top 3 tips for a great Senior Session!
3 tips to prepare for your Senior Portrait session…
1. Clothing – So this is probably the one thing that can make or break your senior session. When planning for what clothes to wear for you senior session…we want you to look amazing and feel amazing. Pulling out your old, beat up jeans and some worn out shirts…well that’s not going to make you feel your best (yes they may be comfy). We recommend, new, fresh, fun, trendy clothing for your senior session. We send our senior models to a local boutique to pick out several outfits for their session! The boutique owner, styles their clothing in a way that flatters them and gives them that magazine look! Who doesn’t want some new clothes anyways! Go shopping for your session! Think outside the box when picking out clothes for the session. Make sure that you feel confident in the outfits you choose.
2. Professional Makeup – Having your makeup done by a professional makeup artist is key to getting that flawless look in the photos. We always have a hair and makeup artist come with us, on location, during our senior model shoots. This ensures that our seniors have perfect makeup for their entire senior session! Make up that is too heavy or caked on will be very noticeable in pictures and not enough makeup can make you looked washed out or have no color in your photos. Having your makeup done professionally is another key to having amazing senior photos.
3. Professional Hair Styles – The third thing that can make or break your senior photo’s is having your hair styled by a professional. Natural, fun, fresh hair styles just add to your beauty. We always bring a hair stylist along during our senior model sessions to make sure that our model’s hair is perfect and remains perfect for the entire session! This also gives us the ability to change hairstyles during the photo shoot to fit the clothing our model is wearing. Having several different styles adds to the uniqueness of your senior session.
We want you to feel beautiful, like you stepped out of a magazine. We want your senior portraits to be unique, different, exciting, fun, and bold! Contact us today to book your senior portrait session!
Be BOLD, Have STYLE, Live in FREEDOM
We got to go back to where is all started for us and shoot a wedding for Lacey and Adam! (Wes and I were married in this same church almost 10 years ago!) We headed back to Troy for their awesome wedding day! We have known Lacey since she was in high school! We went to church with her and her family our entire time we lived in Troy! We love going back and shooting weddings of the kids we watched grow up (it makes us feel old, but we love it!) This wedding was a blast! Lacey, a graphic designer, designed/created some amazing details for the big day! She left no stone unturned and as you can see by the pictures...amazing! Adam, a football coach, was cool and calm the entire day! Enjoy a sneak peek at Lacey and Adam's big day! Leave them some love and congrats in the comments below!
