Thanksgiving 2017

family time at the bay house 

The days of Thanksgiving week are a blur.  I intentionally worked to savor every moment of every day. Surrounded by family on the day, we conquered and devoured a meal for 25- two turkeys, people! It was a team of workers and servers acting on family love. I am blessed. We are blessed.

I know that every time I picked my camera up, it was to capture the "feels" of the time we all spent together.  I needed to slow it down. This documentary is a way to rewind and watch it happen all over again. Enjoy! I love my big family. 

small wedding celebration | Fairhope, AL

I consider myself a lucky photographer when I'm invited to share a special moment documenting the celebration of marriage for a family. We met on a sticky fall Saturday morning at Knoll Park in Fairhope, AL to visually preserve a sliver of time for the new Perret family. They drove from 2 states over for their session. Fairhope had become a "happy" place for them and they wanted the same for their photo session- photos with a relaxed, casual and happy feel (but all dressed up, mind you!) They laughed, played and embraced the beach sand. We all worked up a sweat, but kept the best wedding pictures ever game plan in mind. It's not everyday that you play on swings and ride the dizzy machine in your dressy clothes. They were fun, open to documenting themselves in a casual way and keeping it real.  I know I'll always remember this session. Congrats to the Perret family!
