I absolutely LOVE when couples select a location that is meaningful to them for their pictures. Rachel and Brandon both love the outdoors and Brandon grew up not far from the island, so this was a natural choice for their portrait location. I could tell they both felt so at home…

It seemed so funny to be meeting Madeline in person for the first time at her engagement session because I truly felt like I already knew her so well from our phone and email conversations. She is just one of those people that you’ve felt like you’ve known forever…

Brittany is 26 years old and faced with something that most of us will not face until we are in our 50s or older. She is the primary caregiver for her mother, who was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s three years ago. It was a surprising diagnosis and not something that Brittany expected to hear when she was in her early 20s. It has been a journey of ups and downs, hope and despair, but, most importantly, love.

Shooting at Dauphin Island in December means you get the beach all to yourself and beautiful colors in the sky and water. This session totally spoiled me!
