Shooting Star Photography

Dear former and potential clients -

I was updating my calendar due to many recent inquiries, and realized I only have 9 2 sessions available until the end of June!!

If you are thinking of booking a session with me before Summer, please let me know as soon as possible. To reserve your date, I require 50% of the session fee.

If you are expecting a newborn, also let me know and we’ll pencil in a date. I do save a couple of spots for newborns and rescheduled sessions (due to rain or illness) each month.

Sweet and smiley Blakely was such an easy, laid-back baby to photograph, I could’ve stayed there all day taking happy pictures of her!

She is so cute and has the prettiest blue eyes and big, bright smile! Don’t you agree?

I came across this one while I was editing and I just love it. There’s nothing like an newborn. They curl up so well. I can only imagine that baby Claire had her feet up here quite a bit while she was in her mommy’s tummy.

For the photographers who are curious - this was at f/1.4 -  focus on her mouth and toes with custom white balance…

I know I’m a little early on this - but seeing these pictures made me laugh, so I had to share them! You gotta love the mama’s boys and the daddy’s girls in your life!

Look how hard she’s pinching his face - that’s love

Claire (the second newborn named Claire I photographed this weekend), is absolutely adorable! I was so excited to meet her today and get to spend some time with her mommy and daddy while I took their pictures.

She is an absolutely blessing and so sweet! Congratulations Cheryl and Tony!

Pate is a handome 5 month old little guy! He was all smiles when I arrived but by the end of our shoot he was worn out!

Pate’s mommy has a forte’ for decorating! I loved her style. I wish she’d come decorate my house!

Here’s your sneak peek -

I told you Pate’s mom had great decorating sense. She made this canvas sectioned mural, and the name and birthday canvas above his bed. I love it!

I love these pouting sleepy lips!

Perfect baby Claire was such a joy to photograph! She has a gorgeous head of hair and a beautiful, sweet face!

She slept almost our entire session, and curled up just like a perfect little newborn. Congratulations Matt and Beckett. She’s amazing! Enjoy your sneak peek…

I love this shot, because her relaxed, open hands told me that she was enjoying our relaxing shoot as much as I was!

This sneak peek was so easy to pull together because every single picture of Savannah was so fun and cute.   She’s absolutely beautiful and so well behaved, she made my job a breeze! I have what seems like a million more fantastic pictures from her session, too. Narrowing them down will be the hard part.

Her parents are the owners of Drake Fitness here in Birmingham. I’m so excited because they are going to be training me and helping me get back into shape!

Thanks Kim, Kevin, and Savannah for a great day. See you soon!

I had the wonderful fortune to spend a short part of an afternoon with Heston and his mommy and daddy on a beautiful, warm, winter day here in Birmingham!

I promised a few weeks ago we’d see more of Heston, so here you go! I have so many favorite and cool pictures from this session… I may have to post another sneak peek once I really start editing them.

Thanks Rebecca and Tom. Once again, Heston was so great and all smiles, and I love that!!!

The first one here is my favorite, and it was Rebecca’s idea! She’s an architect and has such an eye for design and style, I love working with her. She encourages me to think outside the box and that’s so much fun for me!

I think this one would look great on a big canvas…

And I think this one would look great in a thick black frame with a large white matte, hanging in their red kitchen (now I think I can be the designer - ha!). I processed this one with a slight urban feel… and I love how it turned out!

These two are a GORGEOUS couple with a baby boy due in early March!

If the baby resembles his mommy and daddy at all, he will be such a handome little guy… I can’t wait to take his newborn pictures!

Isn’t Crystal amazing and really glowing?

Here she is laughing at something Marcus said… I just loved how beautiful and happy she looked in these…
