This past April, I enjoyed shooting the Nashville Symphony Fashion show at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center for Gus Mayer Nashville. You can find that post here.Β Thank you Atlanta Social Season Magazine for putting us on the cover of your current Summer 2017 issue.
Loved working again with an amazing team of friends/talented creatives on a fashion cover story in the current Birmingham Magazine Weddings Summer/Fall 2017Β issue. Brides…need some inspiration for your wedding style? Pick up a copy on new stands now for ideas for every occasion, and where to get the looks… from the Engagement Party to Bridesmaids Luncheon, Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding.
Here are some of my favorite images from our shoot in the studio…

It’s always a pleasure to shoot for my friends at Twin Construction in Birmingham, AL. This home was especially fun to photograph, since I know Rachael, the owner and love her personal style. Laurie Fulkerson, interior designer for Twin, did an exceptional job capturing and bringing Rachel and Dax’s style and personalities into the details of the home design. My favorite elements? The incredible black crocodile wallpaper in the study (slight obsession), the luxurious blue velvet sofas in the living room, the butlers pantry filled with natural light, the steel folding doors that open the dining room onto the screened porch for indoor/outdoor entertaining and finally the perfectly organized master bedroom closet with lighted shelving. There’s so much more…Pick up a copy of Birmingham Home & Garden to read the story behind this amazing Homewood (Edgewood) remodel.

Newly,Β is aΒ Nashville based eCommerce venture created by five local entrepreneurs. Their home products are 100% recycledΒ with clean and modern styling. I photographed the owners and some of theirΒ products for an article inΒ Nashville Lifestyles Magazine‘s February 2017 issue. I’m thrilled to be shooting for my new hometown magazine after living here for only 6 monthsΒ andΒ grateful for the opportunity to get to know NashvilleΒ even betterΒ through my lens.
You can read more about Newly’s mission in the articleΒ here.
It’s always a privilege to shoot a Twin Construction home…they are such great people, who do quality work and have fun while they are doing it. I’m always inspired andΒ walk away wanting to use some elements in my own home…whether it’s unique hardware, gorgeous paint colors, interesting light fixtures orΒ sleek modernΒ lucite counter stools, there’s always a “take home” idea. It’s all in the details. This beautiful Homewood, Alabama cottage is no exception and it’s featured in the September issue of B Metro Magazine. Enjoy!
Mallory is a personal friend, so when I received the assignment to photograph her home for the February issue of Birmingham Magazine, I immediately texted her with my excitement of getting to catch up with her while I was behind the camera. Not only is Mallory an extremely talented interior designer with exquisite taste in antiques, she is a beautiful person inside and out.
Here are some of my favorite images of Mallory, herΒ Inverness home and her lovely family.
Recently I purchased a new strobe lighting system to add to my arsenal of equipment for editorial and commercial work. Loved putting it to work for the first time on this holiday fashion and cocktails shootΒ for Birmingham Magazine. Special thanks to new The Grand Bohemian Hotel in Mountain Brook, AL for allowing us to shootΒ in their amazingΒ hotel.

My husband Brad and I oftenΒ escape together for date nightsΒ over a drinkΒ and good meal atΒ Avo Restaurant and Dram Whiskey Bar.Β The owners have been family portrait clients of mine for years, so when they asked me to shoot some images for Dram, I quickly agreed.Β It was fun to turn my camera on a favorite local spot. And, one of the images was published in the November issue of The Local Palate,Β the south’s premier food culture magazine, based in one of my very favorite southern cities, Charleston. Β Chef Jeremy Ashby picked Dram as one of the top Southern spots for Bourbon. Congrats!
On anotherΒ personal note,Β my favorite cocktailΒ at Dram is their signature martini called the Yin-Yang. It’s a deliciously sweet and sour combination of Ketel One, muddled strawberries, balsamic vinegar, and simple syrup. My husband’s favorite is their Moscow Mule. Who’s thirsty?
I love shooting homes for Birmingham Magazine and getting ideas for my own home in the process! It was a treat to photograph one of the Twin Construction owner’s personal home in Homewood for the October issue. I loved it’s family friendly floor plan, clean lines and neutral color palette.
