I shot this on the campus of the University of Mississippi. I had the absolute most fun shooting this wedding! I was sooo happy with how these photos turned out! I was a little nervous at first because we had a rain scare but it came and went and we enjoyed the rest of the day!

Moton Wedding

Shorter — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 20:24:37 +0000

I had the amazing pleasure of shooting Stephanye’s wedding. She was such a beautiful bride. The wedding was in Memphis, TN. This was the biggest church I’ve ever shot in and I was more than ecstatic. Her,her family, and the wedding party was such a pleasure to work with. This wedding was so much fun! I’m really happy with how everything turned out.

The Barber

Shorter — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 14:08:12 +0000

Had the amazing opportunity to shoot my friend, Olivia’s, barber. This started out as a “I only need a few shots” event. Of course it spawned into a full scale photo shoot in the middle of a Memphis barber shop that ended with me laying on the dirty floor lol. But all in all I’m more than happy with the results! I even delivered them to her late last night when I should have been sleeping. But the joy on her face when she saw the pictures was more than worth it. The initial response, that sheer joy from a job well done, is the reason I do my job!

Spring Pics

Spring pictures I did! I was a little under the weather before this shoot but didnt let that stop the show! I was really happy with the pictures! I also loved the yellow that everyone wore! I love my career!

Graduates

Its graduation season and I had the opportunity to shoot some great shots of my sorors and my buddy Mejia for graduation. I was really excited and glad I was able to help make their graduation more memorable. I shot the AKA pics on Delta State University’s campus the day before graduation. It was incredibly windy but thankfully the sun decided to hide so it was much cooler than a few hours earlier. Mejia and I shot her pics Thursday afternoon on the University of Memphis’ campus. We were a little upset that the frigging fountain on campus decided to stay off permanently. I just wanted to make sure I got a few shots of everyone before graduation. Guess its great having a friend that’s a photographer!

Alycia

Shorter — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 14:32:46 +0000

Hi everyone! Things are really starting to get crazy. Its that time of year again! My schedule is quickly filling up with everyone wanting to take advantage of the great weather and take pictures. I’m loving it. With that being said the other day I had the pleasure of shooting Alycia. One of my beautiful sorors, Tara, recommended me to her. She needed a pretty quick turnaround and I’m glad that my schedule is flexible enough to be able to help her out. She was an amazing subject to shoot. I really had a blast getting to know her while we were out shooting. Also she has a website, All Day Natural (www.alldaynatural.com), in which she discusses healthy living, including nutrition, natural beauty, and wholistic health.

Team Mejia

So I met Kristen on Twitter. I’m working (slowly) on learning Spanish and her sister recommended her to me. Turns out we ended up being great friends! Mejia as I like to call her (that’s her cool last name) is graduating and we decided to take some pics. I was ecstatic and it was an absolute blast! I’ve recently decided to do personal projects every once in a while to satisfy creative needs so she was my first victim lol. We were frolicking on Main Street in Memphis and she didn’t even mind lying on the ground in her dress lol! Mejia is awesome. I decided to grab a map for a prop because she LOVES traveling and I like the shot of the date on her back because its the date her grandfather passed and he won’t get to see her graduate. I’m so happy I had the opportunity to make her graduation that much more special. CONGRATS MEJIA!!!

The Fraziers

Shorter — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 21:47:44 +0000

I just love shooting winter weddings! Mainly because I’d choose anything over the raging summer heat that usually comes along with summer weddings in the south. It can be a little difficult sometimes when you’re lugging around camera equipment and running around from place to place. And as always I’m always nervous before a shoot. I can’t explain why and I honestly hope I never outgrow it. It keeps me grounded. This was my first wedding I shot where I didn’t know the bride or groom prior to shooting their wedding. So far my friends from college have basically been helping me put food on the the table lol. It’s great to know that my range is extending and God willing will continue to grow. But I definitely see potential for growth. I’m passionate about what I do and I absolutely LOVE my job. I can’t begin to thank my best friend, Angela, for giving me the push I needed in college to chase this seemingly crazy dream I have.
