I am so pumped for Anna & Landon’s June 2020 wedding day! These two are so awesome, absolutely photogenic and fun to be around. When they showed up with their adorable golden retriever I was even more excited. Her name is Honey as she is the cutest little fur baby around. Plus she is so good! Landon would give her directions and she would listen so well. We put a hat on her during their engagement shoot and she just stood there very still making my heart melt. CUTENESS OVERLOAD!

We finished up their session on a roof top in downtown Huntsville and Anna was stunning the camera in her gorgeous green gown. Landon was pretty dapper too in his blue blazer. This couple is just good looking with excellent style! June 2020 can’t come soon enough! Love these two so much.

Doing a happy dance over how fantastic Jillian’s senior photoshoot went! I wish I could say that my happy dance was in fancy ballet pointe shoes, but nope. I did not get the gift of coordination & rhythm, but I always say that what I lack in talent I make up for in spirit! ? I’m a very high energy horrible dancer, but I do it with a smile. That’s got to count for something.

This gorgeous girl however is sooo incredibly talented. Plus she is just as sweet as she is beautiful. The day we met up was so nice with the best weather. You never know what you are going to get on a senior shoot scheduled in December, but I’m extra grateful for the warmer days we’ve had. And I’m even more grateful for the opportunity to capture these fabulous senior photos of Jillian.

Photographing this musically talented guy was a great way to start off my week and get back into the swing of things after being out of town for Thanksgiving break. He pulled out his guitar during his shoot and I was so pumped about it! I seriously love incorporating what ya’ll love into your sessions. And I don’t have a musical bone in my body so getting to hear him play and snap pictures was just fantastic!

It was a chilly and cloudy day when we met up, but I really do enjoy a good winter photography session. Cloudy weather is great for photographing gorgeous waterside scenery. I find cloudy & sunny days are both amazing for beautiful photos. They both have their own beauty. The only thing that is a game stopper is a consistent downpour of rain or if the it’s so cold that the wind chill makes your eyes water. This day was super great and all of Lathan’s photos turned out wonderful!

Layne is sweeter than all the yummy chocolate chip waffles covered in gooey syrup in the world! I had a fantastic time with this beautiful blondie the week before last. Her blue eyes are just AMAZING and I loved getting to capture her contagious smile too! She was full of so many ideas for her senior photoshoot and I’m so glad that I can say we nailed them all!!! I call Layne’s senior photoshoot, “The Ultimate Decatur Alabama Experience.”

I call it that because it is full of nearly every iconic spot you would see on the back of a high school t-shirt including cap n’ gown photos in front of the recently built Decatur High School. We were literally scaling rocks to get the best shot of her in front of the iconic Decatur Bridge. We were doing this while her mom let us know to watch out for alligators!!! There is a reason I pray before every shoot! hahahahaha. This senior photoshoot with Layne was worth all the efforts because I’m in love with all her photos! The rain, rocky cliffs, alligators and traffic couldn’t stop this magic from happening!

Olivia is made of sugar, spice and everything nice. This girl was a total ball of the happiest energy. Her smile was always going strong and her style was on point too! We had so much fun just running into the street and seeing how many shots we could get before traffic forced us back to safety. Speaking of safety, her mom was there to keep a watch out for us, but I do think my senior shoots are for the “adventurous!” hahahaha, If I ask you to sign a waiver it’s only a formality, nothing to worry about… hahahah JK! We just always have a blast around here.

I really did just enjoy getting to know Olivia so much. It was so great getting to hear about her plans for college and what she hopes to do in the next chapter of her life. I know she is going to definitely do amazing at whatever she goes for. This girl has positive vibes that are going to take her only good places. Love her!

David & Katie’s November wedding date was absolutely stunning! These two are the perfect pair and capturing their special day was the best. We started out the day with lots of coffee and hair & makeup. There were flowers everywhere as Kaite’s mom and her wedding team were preparing all the floral decor. It smelled wonderful.

Later that day Kaite shared some sweet moments with her mom, had a first look with her bridesmaids and then with her handsome soon-to-be-husband. We were blessed with beautiful weather and every detail came together in the most gorgeous way. This wedding was a fairy tale come to life for sure! I’m so glad that Michael got to film it and I got to photograph it because we definitely just love these two. They are such cherished friends now.

“Kaite & David, we wish you all the happiness in the world and we are always here for you! <3 Dustin & Michael”

Kayla seriously blew my mind with her modeling skills! I always position my seniors in different poses so they don’t have to worry about a thing. However, some of my senior just go rogue with their own moves and I’m just snapping my camera in awe! Kayla was one of those individuals. I would put her into the initial pose and then she would just be moving around striking pose after pose. It was amazing and I’m so impressed.

She is in theatre and show choir so being confident in front of others is something she has obviously practiced. That confidence totally paid off because Kayla totally killed it during her senior photoshoot. Every single one of her photos is stunning. I’m in love with them all. Plus I love the meaning behind the flannel shirt she chose to wear for one of her outfits. It was her grandfathers flannel who passed away and a way for her to commemorate him. I love that. And I have so much love for Kayla. I look forward to seeing only good things from this beautiful girl as she graduates high school and takes on college.

Mary-Katherine & Blake did so great during their engagement session and we were blessed with the prettiest fall day. I just recently met up with Mary-Katherine to go over all her wedding day details, but I feel like I already know her. Her grandfather is my pastor and I’ve heard from him and the rest of the family how proud they are of her for a while now. She is in law school, Blake is a banker and everyone just very understandable loves this couple.

That’s why I’m so excited to be photographing Blake & Mary-Katherine’s wedding in August 2020. I like to follow my brides wedding Pinterest boards and this girl has such a classic vision for her wedding day. August can’t come soon enough.

Lexus &. Jordan are such an adorable fun couple. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a mullet look so good. hahahahaha ? I’m looking forward to photographing their wedding in May 2020. Especially because after Facebook creeping them
(Don’t judge me. We all do it! hahaha) I saw that they have been together for such a very long time. It was sweet to see the pictures of them together when they were just little kids.

Now they are this precious little family with their little boy Jaxton. He is so cute. I loved getting to snap a few pictures of his sweet little self. Since I’ve become a mom it’s even more meaningful to capture those little baby smiles. I now know how treasured they are to mamas.

I first met this gorgeous brunette while take photos of her during prom last year. I thought she was so cute and sweet that when she wanted me to do her senior photos I was super pumped! This time she showed up with her mom and her close friend Zoey and I got to experience even more of her fun personality. Close friends always get the best laughs and authentic reactions. And I always love that.

Chloe let me know that she was known for winking and it was such a good time just letting her be silly and capture it all. I put her in poses, but when she just started being a total ham was when she truly lit up. Also, I love how she just beats to her own drum. She had such a unique and adorable style. Her shoes are bomb and her personality is dynamite. This pretty girl did fantastic and I look forward to watching her doing great at college next year.
