The Fall season is SO busy and crazy around here. I do have a method to the madness, and it worked like a well oiled machine this past year, but by the end of November I am super ready for a break! Fortunately, most people aren’t looking for family photos in December or January so I do get a breather. During my little break I soak in all of the tutorials, workshops and new skills I can get my hands on. Come February I am ready to go again (to try out everything I have learned over the past 2 months) but the weather is never quite as ready as I am. lol. Fortunately I have a really great friend who is willing to freeze her butt off for me <3
I put this shoot together specifically to flex my newfound skills and to try out specific techniques that I had been dying to put in to action. It may not be in the style that I normally shoot in but I had so much fun experimenting and coloring outside my typical lines. :-)
A huge thank you to Break Free Beauty for the gorgeous makeup <3
This shot was my overall favorite. This image is a composite of 3 different photos. I changed it from day to night, added the snow and created the lamp light.
Fine tuning my overlay skills with complicated skylines.
Combining multiple photos to create movement and a “spooky” feeling
Turning day in to night only using Lightroom
Just because ;-)
Creating reflections without any water.
And the next 3 are just some other favorites from the session.
Now that I have been able to fine tune my new skills I am super excited to start incorporating them in to my clients sessions. We all need a little magic in our lives and I can’t wait to see what it will bring to JMP in this next year!

So many times my own personal photos never make it to the blog. Rarely do I to a “whole session” with my kids. It is a little here, a little there whenever I see something I want to capture and they happen to be having a happy moment. lol
I need to post more of them though <3 So here are a few of my favorites from the past little bit of time. :-)

I love it when I get to see kids from year to year. I love seeing how they have physically changed as well as how they have matured. The dynamics in families with lots of kids is something that I really enjoy. I grew up as the oldest child of 6. We are now spread out and don’t see each other often but being around other families is a sweet reminder of my own childhood.
After we were done getting the must have images I saw this lamp in the front yard of the home we were shooting at. I have been playing with fine art photography edits for a while and I decided to see if I could reproduce what I was imagining… Mission accomplished!

They grow up so fast don’t they? This little peanut is already half way through her first year! This is just about my favorite time to photograph babies. They are so sweet, they interact, such sweet smiles, peek a boo, sitting up on their own, just about to crawl. Getting big but still hints of the infant remain.
I love indoor lifestyle photography sessions. There is something relaxing and comfortable for kids to be in their own environment and to be surrounded by family. <3

Every time I work with this family I drive away realizing my face hurts from smiling and laughing so much! Every bit of the joy you see in these images is genuine and honest. It is so special to witness it and to have them invite me to be a part of it for a while.
This extended family session was as fun as you can get! We didn’t even leave their home and we had such a fantastic and fun time! I think it is so cool that they wanted to document this time in their life in this way.
Eyelashes <3
I don’t get husbands offering to put their wives on their shoulders often… When they do I say YES! lol
I was taking cute “sister” photo and the husbands attacked! The looks on their faces are absolutely priceless! <3
She is just the SWEETEST <3

Hey Y’all!!!
I have a pretty exciting thing to share. I get lots of questions about how to take better photos of kids and how to use a “nice camera”.
First off, I love it when I get questions because it is a huge compliment. The part I struggle with though is that a 5 minute conversation just isn’t enough time to really do the topic justice.
I totally get it! Those beautiful “Mom and Dad moments” that no one else is around for (especially not a pro photographer) slip away. The reason I started this photographic journey was because I wanted to make my children’s childhoods tangible and have images that reminded me of those sacred times.
I want to help you capture your own moments and make them beautiful!I I am sure that about half of you out there got new “fancy” cameras for Christmas. Come learn how to use it and do your memories justice.
The top image was taken in Automatic and the bottom was taken in Manual Mode.
I have invested a LOT of money in to camera equipment but the truth is that it doesn’t make any difference if I leave it on automatic… A better camera wont take better pictures if you don’t know how to use it.
JMP Learn Your Camera Class
I have put together 2 classes that will focus on learning how to really use that new camera AND how to edit those photos to make them a tangible memory to keep forever. Both classes are scheduled for March 5th in Madison Alabama and will be limited to 10 seats.
***The morning session will be all about teaching you how to get off of automatic and start shooting in manual mode!!!
***The afternoon will be dedicated to teaching you how to take your images to the next level through editing.
You don’t have to come to both sessions but there is a discount if you decide to come for the whole day.
For more information shoot me a message or click on the link.
Hope to see you there!!!

I have been wanting to do some composite work for a while now but it is time intensive and the busyness of the fall season just hasn’t allowed for me to dig a bit deeper and get creative. With that said, when Leanne told me about the gown she was planning on wearing for her Baby Bump Session I couldn’t help myself! She told me she wanted something magical with a touch of ferry tale. <3 There is so much beauty in the simplicity of the more traditional images but it was so much fun to take a step beyond, play with a bit of magic and create beautiful and unique art. <3
Their baby boy was born just yesterday, we took these photos just in time!!!

Is there anything more precious than a fresh new baby?
Their smell, the little noises, the way their cheeks squish and how they yawn and stretch with their whole body. I love it all!
I get so excited when parents choose one of my Grow With Me packages (for totally selfish reasons) because I get to see them change. I love looking over the different milestones and seeing the little (and big) differences. His Mama’s maternity session turned out beautifully as well.

Baby bumps are such a beautiful thing. There is so much anticipation in getting to meet a new little one. It is also such a sweet time to enjoy life before it changes.
It is a really special thing to be starting a Grow With Me package at the very beginning. <3

I can’t even tell you how much fun this was. The evening was gorgeous and these two couldn’t be more in love. Can’t you see it? They look at each other with stars in their eyes. Gracie asked if I would just focus on capturing “them” and just being together. I remember back to the time that my husband and I were married but hadn’t had any kids yet. I have such sweet memories and it was such a special time as we got to really know each other. I can’t help but wish we had taken the time to have our own photos taken to document “us” during that time.
I can’t think of a better way to celebrate an anniversary than to make “right now” tangible with photos that celebrate the two people that are building something authentically beautiful.
