Megan and Trevor's wedding

We had the honor of photographing Megan and Trevor's wedding.  Mark and I had a blast with them, their wedding party and their families!  Their wedding took place in May on Carillon Beach, Florida.  Here are some favorites.  Enjoy!   Jeannie

We will be posting a link to their wedding soon!  You'll find it here on our blog, as well as our website.

Ashley, Senior

Here is an image from Ashley's senior session.  We submitted this to our local professional photographer's guild, for print competition and won.  The very next day, Mark made an appearance on TV to speak about it and about our local professional photographer's guild, called W.A.P.P.A. (Wiregrass Area Professional Photographers Association).  Ashley looks like a greek goddess...Let us know what you think!  Jeannie

Melissa's Bridal

Check this out!  This session went on into the night.  We just photographed her this week....yep, downtown Dothan.  Melissa and her Mother allowed us to use our talent to create amazing images for them....let us know what you think!  Jeannie

We were packing up to leave and go home and when we turned around and saw how the light was hitting the awning and the street, and how the grungy building looked in the background, we just had to do one more set...and this is some of what we captured.  Absolutely stunning!

Keisha's Bridal

Here's one of our favorites- this image was created on the steps in the foyer of the fellowship hall of the Church of the Nativity.   She could double for Barbara Eden from "I Dream of Jeannie!"  Let us know what you think!

Mark has the ability to create an elegant, beautiful image as well as produce one with edge and mystery, all from the same subject.

Keisha is so beautiful!  And up for adventure!   This was taken in the foyer of the Church of the Nativity in downtown Dothan, back in May.  We call this one "Straight Laced".  Enjoy!  Jeannie

Robyn's Bridal

We photographed Robyn's bridal session back in April (yes, we know we're behind on the blog).  We took her to the downtown area here in Dothan. What's really cool is when our brides and their Mothers let us choose the locations and let us create images for them.  This is one of our favorites.  Mark has such an amazing ability to take a good image, put his "mojo" on it, and make it an incredible piece of art. Check this out! 


Enjoy!  Jeannie

Dalton and his Eagle Scout Project

Dalton is a local teen who started a "green" project to help Habitat For Humanity, and to earn an Eagle Scout Badge.  Over the past few months, you may have seen signs with a message saying, "bring in your old jeans". Odd as it may seem, Dalton was collecting them to have them stripped of any metal pieces, and then shredded into bits to be used as insulation for the new construction of a local Habitat for Humanity house this August.I had no idea jeans could be used for such!  Jeans were originally designed for cowboys to have durable  pants that would keep them cool during summer and warm in the winter.  (My ancestor, Eliza Lucas Pinckney, brought the plant that produces the color indigo back from England.  Indigo is the deep blue color we see in blue jeans.)

 Mark and I had the privilege of photographing Dalton while he was folding and counting about 3,000 pairs of jeans!  His mother recently gave us a final count, and they have collected over 8,000 pairs of them!  What an amazing response!  It's invigorating to witness such generosity!  Here are some photos to enjoy!  We hope to see this story in more publications throughout the country....we'll keep you posted!

We were in the Century Tel basement.  They were kind enough to donate the room for Dalton to store all of these!

I think he might have been a little tired after folding a few hundred pair while we there.

Phillip Senior 2009

Phillip is traveling the country with the Drum Core International group this summer!  Only the best of the best are accepted into this elete group.  They will perform at various cities throughout the states.  I think he said they have a performance almost everyday!  Mark and I had the privilege of photographing him a few weeks ago.  Check out his slideshow and let us know what you think!  You can learn more about the DCI on  www.dci.org.  It is absolutely amazing!  I know his parents are proud!  


Keeping checking for more!  Jeannie

Adam and Jordan

I would have to say  that Adam and Jordan were one of the most fun couples we had photographed in a while.  We really strive to put our couples at ease so they can relax and have fun with us, and be themselves.  It's obvious they are in love and enjoy each other.....can't wait to photograph them again!  And check out Jordan's eyes!  Isn't she beautiful?!

During the session we were talking about different things happening while on location....like strange characters walking by and wanting us to take their picture with our couples or brides.  Adam and Jordan thought that was so cool and hoped something like that would happen this time.  And it did!  He calls himself superman, likes to speak jibberish, eats crackers, and loves God!  In this photo, you can't see his red cape hanging off of the back of him.  Mark and  I were blown away with him and didn't think to get a quick shot of  it.  I'm sure he has a colorful story of his life and I wonder what it is.  As he was leaving, he shook our hands and put his hat on his head with cracker wrappers and crumbs falling out all over him and he kept walking and talking in jibberish.   He was almost scary.  I really didn't know what he would do next.  Thank goodness he was nice!  Another adventure for our stories....and for Adam and Jordan!

Cool Ashley, senior 2009

We photographed Ashley at our Gallery a few weeks ago....she's 6ft tall, gorgeous, full of personality...a little funky, and lots of fun!  When she put on her stiletto heels, she towered over Mark and I.....yep, we're short people.    Let us know what you think!

Keep watching for more posts...Jeannie
