I be excited to do all my sessions, but this one was very special to me.  We don't see each other or talk often, but when she scheduled her maternity session I was tickled. Growing up in a family full of boys, it was just us three girls: her, her sister Neshia, and me. We came from rushing home at the last minutes to not miss our curfew, to now adults living on our own. Time has really past us by. I was grateful the weather turned out so pretty. We joked and reminisced on the past. I even joked on how the baby had her head as I looked at her ultra sound. I am sure Marlon thought we were crazy. We couldn't even complete the photo shoot from laughing.  It was my first time meeting Marlon, but if you ever take photos with me, I always try to make everyone feel comfortable and just have fun. I didn't want to give him a hard time,  because Wykita (Bunk) was doing it enough. Have you heard someone say the phrase "they don't make

The Boykin family drove two hours to allow me to capture their photo session. I am grateful and honored to have someone love my work enough to travel so far. Danirelle, and her beautiful daughters, are embracing her belly at the Hampstead on this beautiful day.  I love the way the sun hit all three of them on these photos. I had to let the couple grab them a few romantic poses.  Then there will be 5.... They will soon be joined by a sweet little boy. I know the dad is happy, that he will not be the only man in the house full of girls. Congrats you all and again thanks!

I met Ms. Lovely when I took her sister's maternity pictures. She seemed very shy, but I knew she was a diva deep down. When I asked her about doing a photo shoot with me, she quickly agreed  to the opportunity. We can learn a lot from this young lady. She is such a strong little girl. When you think you are having a bad day, remember someone else is or have been through something worse. Lovely was injured back in Spring of 2012. The fire accident was started by a chimney in her backyard, where her clothes caught fire. She was heard by her mother screaming, who ran out to see her in flames. She was rushed to Baptist Medical Center, but then air lifted to Children's Hospital in Birmingham, Al. She has had over 30 plus surgeries, her body was 40% damaged, and she also had 3rd degree burns. She was not expected to survive. Doctors told her mother it was a 50/50 chance. I say look at God. Lovely wants people to know "we all are different in our o

Anissa is hilarious. I know Anissa from church, New Life Church of God in Christ. She is a diva and will say whatever comes to her mind. I appreciate that because she will tell you the truth.  She is single gentlemen, but in her voice "I don't have time for foolishness".  Please read her journey of being a single mother of 2 boys with autism. Hello my name is Anissa McCants and I have two boys DeAndre (18 years old) and JaDarius (13 years old).  Both are diagnosed with Autism.  Autisms is a brain disorder affecting communication and social interactions.  It occurs before three years of age.  Signs of autism includes repetitive behaviors, impairments in verbal and non-verbal communication, and difficulties with socialization. DeAndre was diagnosed at the age of two with Autism.  He was born normal and was displaying normal milestones up until the age of 15 months.  The same day he took his Measles, Mumps & Rubella (MMR) vaccination he was never the same.

        I absolutely loved the book. It was one of those books you can't put down. It had suspense, drama, and romance. It was so good it took maybe two days to read it.  When the end of the book came, I wanted more.  If you are in a book club here is one of those books, that will leave everyone ready to stay longer, just to talk about what happened. If you love to curl up under a blanket and drink wine, while you read, this is definitely one you need to add to your list  I was blessed with the opportunity to interview and photograph Mrs. Yolanda, the new upcoming author. Please be sure to grab your copy and contact me with your reviews.  You can look below on how the book can be purchased. Me: Tell me a little about yourself. Yolanda: I have been married for 15 years to my husband Roderick and we have 4 sons. I work at Baptist Medical Center South and I have worked in health care for 20 years. I love reading, cooking,  listening to music, and traveling. Me: What you m

Me: Tell me about yourself Kawesi: My name is Kawesi Brown.  I am a 38 year old mother of 3 beautiful children, I was born in Manhattan, New York and raised majority of my youth in Roselle, New Jersey. At the age of 13 years old my family relocated to Montgomery, Alabama, where I finished high school and attended Troy State University for a BA degree in Psychology. Me:How was your life growing up?   Kawesi: I had two wonderful parents, and I was a daddy's girl. My daddy was so loving and playful and he always made me laugh and smile. I loved watching the love that he and my mom shared. I remember all the family get together and BBQ's we had while living up north. I was always surrounded by family and friends. Things changed a lot after moving down south. I had to adjust to a totally different environment and I didn't know anyone at my new school. After time things started to get better socially, but things at home with my parents weren't going very well. Aft

Tell me a little about yourself and your kids. I'm a 25 year old mother of two daughters and one son. Their names are Jayden age 7, Avah Williams age 1, & Addison Williams age 2 months. I served in the Army  for three and a half years. I currently work in the surgery department at Baptist South Medical Center. My son is in the 2nd grade at Wares Ferry Elementary and plays football for the Montgomery Bulldogs. My daughters goes to A Great Start Learning Academy. Even though I'm a young mother, I have no regrets. They're my pride and joy. They've been my strength through this tough process. Tell me about your husband. My husband was 31 years old at his time of death. We were getting ready to celebrate his 32nd birthday on December 1st. He was a supervisor at UPS for 7 years. He loved to laugh and see other people laugh. He was working on his degree at Troy University in Business Logistics. He loved his family. He had 4 daughters (2 two of them are with a

I moved into a very well known and establish community in Montgomery, AL about six and a half years ago. I was excited about becoming a new young homeowner. I love the community amenities and the different events it offers for the kids.  About a couple of years ago, I was taking photos for my blog in the community because I liked the background and it was convenient for me. I remember the first encounter with the HOA office manager. The people who were doing photos for the blog, that day and I were profiled, and rudely approached by her. Once the people with me allowed her to know that they were out there with me, she came over to me, impolitely, and asked me did I live out here.  After our exchanges of words and her trying to handle me like an adolescent, her tone changed and she acted more professional when I didn't back down.  She left and said if you have any problems, to please call her at the office and come by if I would be planning to do more photos. I didn't have a p

I was inspired to do birth photo sessions last year. It was something I knew was not a big demand, here in Montgomery, but I just took the chance and start doing it. When women give birth there are so many emotions going on. They are excited, nervous, and filled with joy. They are so caught up in the then, until they don't even think about the memories they would like to have after. Is investing in birth photography worth it? Honestly not just from a photographer view, but as a mother stand point, it is one of the best investment or gifts you can give to yourself.     Although I have two kids of my own, I never experienced a vaginal birth with either of them.  ( I was so nervous about having surgery that I really never thought about birth photography, but thanks to their father, they will have awesome photos to view when they get older of their birth. I didn’t realize how much I appreciated that moment until after I did their scrap books. I realize that I w

Considering the many events that simultaneously happening in Montgomery and the surrounding area, it's all to hard to attend and choose from them all. I was so delighted when Althea Ross, the director of Kouture Kidz offered me the opportunity for my daughter and I to attend her fashion show, titled " Frozen In Time" at the Embassy Suite Hotel in downtown Montgomery on December 3. I captured some behind the scenes before the show started. The designers, boutique owners, and store representative were very busy preparing the young models to get ready for the runway. I even captured Althea's daughter backstage. The show began with a prayer and Althea introducing herself. We sat and watched as the different models came down the walkway. My daughter enjoyed it and so did I. Be sure to check out one of the upcoming shows next year, and you can find them on facebook at Kouture Kidz.
