Shooting Star Photography bio picture

I'm glad you found me!

Welcome to my blog! Take a look around. Here you'll find recent posts of sneak peeks from sessions I have done, as well as contests and news.

Photography gives me a creative outlet and a way for me to freeze time. Time goes by even faster with a child, and photographing mine allows me to keep her small and with me forever.  God gave me the gift of photography. I share my gift of capturing and freezing time with others, and the thought of how I am able to do that for my clients, family, and friends  - makes me smile!

Kathryn & Thame | Birmingham, AL engagement photographer

Kathryn & Thame met while attending UAB. These two are so cute together! They make each other smile without saying a word.

Thame is in medical school and Kathryn is a pre-school teacher. They are looking forward to their November wedding in Mobile, Alabama!

I love Kathryn’s freckles and the way she is just a little bit shy, but completely herself around Thame (which is pronounced Tim, for the record).

Michelle & Andrew - Expecting | {Birmingham, AL maternity photographer}

This couple is so excited to meet their daughter! Michelle is enjoying being pregnant, and her husband  is in love with the way she looks pregnant! In fact, the maternity pictures were his idea so he can remember how beautiful she was while carrying their baby. Too sweet!

I shot this session at Stephanie Fisher’s new natural light studio. It was the perfect location for a cold & overcast winter day. Thank you Stephanie!  If you haven’t checked out Stephanie’s work before, you should. She is wonderful!

My New Year’s Resolution… |{Birmingham, AL family photographer}

… will be to blog more! I have sorely neglected my blog over the past month, and for that I apologize. I won’t let it happen again. You see, it’s not that I haven’t been shooting and working, , and preparing for upcoming workshops, it’s that I’ve been busy, and busyness leads me to laziness.  I have been posting pictures on my facebook fan page during this time though, because, well, it’s just easier and quicker :).

So without further ado, let me share a fun story and some pictures with you to get me back to blogging.

My brother-in-law came to stay with us for Christmas, along with his girlfriend and his two children. He proposed to her after we opened presents on Christmas day. It was the most wonderful and heart-felt proposal. It was very moving. Luckily, I just happened to have the camera around my neck and caught the moment -

We are so excited to have April in our family!

I did a quick session for them, along with Eddie’s children right before sunset during their visit. I love the colors and how beautiful they are as a family.

The kids are very happy to have April join the family also! They love her. It’s hard not to!

It helps she’s as gorgeous on the inside as she is on the outside. I know that is so cliche, but it’s so accurate when describing her!

We love how happy they are together, and how they make each other laugh…

Something different

I’ve been a little MIA with the move, but I wanted to sneak peek one picture and let you know I have a very picture heavy post coming to follow this one up!

I just have to say how I can’t imagine a more perfect day to get married than this past Saturday. The wedding was gorgeous, the weather was perfect, and the blues looked amazing and matched the bright sky!
