This family decided to do a combination family session with all the grandchildren as a Christmas gift for the grandparents. They’re all huge Bama fans, so they wanted to do a sports-themed session at our high school football stadium, Jack Wood Stadium. I think it turned out great, and I’m sure the grandparents loved their gift!!
I just loved photographing and hanging out with this couple and their sweet furbaby, Roxy. We did this session at Mountainview Gardens in Springville, Alabama and it was absolutely gorgeous!!
Please visit my Etsy shop to view the Fine Art prints that I have available for purchase. The listing are for 5×7 art prints, but I can do a custom order for any size. Just message me for pricing information. My shop is brand new, but stay tuned as I’ll be adding many more fine art prints in the next few weeks.
If you are attending the BirminghamMommy.com event tonight for the Breaking Dawn Premier, be on the lookout for some great swag from JL Photography! Each bag contains a gift of special savings, and a few lucky attendees will receive a $50 gift certificate to be used toward any purchase. Have a great time at the event!

The theme for this week’s i heart faces contest is “let them be little”. Since I mostly work with little ones, I had a hard time choosing an image to submit. I do adore this image of Mr. J though and I love that we were able to incorporate this blanket that the grandmother made for him. I think it’s precious that he grabs it and just kind of curls up in it.
I’ve just announced the dates for this year’s Fall/Holiday Mini-Sessions. These are a great way to get family portraits done for those upcoming Holiday cards, give as gifts, or just to update your walls. I’ve announced three dates for the sessions and will book 4-5 mini’s for each of those days. I will also be accepting a few individual mini session appointments if none of these dates work for your family.
Each session will last about 30 minutes, and you’ll receive a customized disc with 10-15 images. You’ll receive a print release for unlimited printing for prints 8×10 and smaller. Larger prints, custom Holiday cards and other specialty products (gallery wrapped canvases, session albums, etc) are also available for purchase.
Sessions are limited, so call to schedule you mini today!
This is my entry for this week’s contest – a touch of sun. This is from one of my favorite sessions. We shot at a ranch outside of Birmingham, and it was just gorgeous, including the Bride of course!!

From the moment that I spoke with this Mom on the phone, I just knew this was going to be a fun session. She knew exactly what she wanted and wasn’t afraid to get dirty…literally. She wanted to have her picture made with her four boys…while she was wearing a formal gown, because this was to be a surprise for her husband and he loves this dress. I was afraid we were going to ruin the dress, but everything turned out great and we had the best time. These boys are lucky to have such a fun, silly, and spontaneous mom! I can tell that life is never dull at their house!
I have to admit that I was a little nervous about photographing my first set of twins! Trying to position and soothe one newborn can sometimes be a handful, but these two were so cooperative….I shouldn’t have worried at all. 
In the fall, I had to have emergency surgery and I had some pretty serious complications. As a result, I had to basically close-down my business for a little while. I’ve recently been able to jump back in, but now I’m having to play catch up. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be blogging sessions that I’ve done since re-opening. I’ve been so busy with shooting and editing, that I haven’t had time to blog. Hopefully, I’ll be caught up soon!
