What to wear (Fall) | Birmingham Photographer

Wednesday, October 6th, 2010

So the Fall season is now here! Yay! This is my favorite time of year because the temperatures are perfect and we all know that the cutest clothes come out this time of year!  Speaking of clothes, I have had some requests for Fall Edition of “What to wear to your session”.

Bright colors or jewel tones look great this time of year.  Pair them with something darker and you have yourself a perfect match! (Think… navy and yellow/pink  or dark brown and burnt orange)  There are so many great color combinations, you can’t go wrong.

Awesome Oxford Senior Session | Birmingham, Al Senior Photographer

Friday, September 17th, 2010

So, right before the big move, I had the distinct pleasure of doing a senior session for Lindsay.  Let me just say, it was SO much fun.

She brought a ton of outfits, an amazing chair (yes, a chair), and knew exactly what she wanted.
I suggested some railroad tracks in the area we were shooting, and she said …No, that is so not me.  She wanted to shoot against some dirty, deconstructed walls, which was my next suggestion. :)  The combination of something beautiful (Lindsay in her fabulous clothes) with something dirty and rugged (the old buildings) makes for amazing photos!!!

I thought it was awesome that she told me what she did and didn’t want, because custom photography should be completely and 100 percent about the client.  I wanted Lindsay to walk away from her portraits thinking that the images totally represented her.

Lindsay is a dancer, and she showcased her talent beautifully for this next image!

What did I tell you?….
The combination of beautiful+dirty=AMAZING!

Here is the fabulous chair that she brought!  I love her!
We wanted to find a field to put it in, but we were in the middle of town…so we settled on the parking lot.
Pretty cool, I think!

This image is one of my favorites.

Her gorgeous sister, Karinna, is also a senior this year.
I love that we captured them together at this special time in their lives!
