Lauren | University of Alabama at Birmingham Senior

Mini marathon mixed with many vibrant colors is how I would describe this downtown Birmingham, Alabama senior portrait session. Lauren is a small town girl who came to the big city of Birmingham for college & completely fell in love. So much so that she has plans to stay.

Lauren came with me with this idea of including several of Birmingham’s murals in her college senior portraits & then let me run with the route. *Literally. We started out at Railroad Park for a view of the city including the Regions building where she will soon take her first job out of college with a Bachelor’s in Accounting from UAB.

We made stops at the Color Tunnel & the Rotary Trail, before jumping for joy at John’s City Diner with the popular “It’s nice to have you in Birmingham” mural. Scroll through & let us know which stop is your favorite!

LOVE this Friends reference! *Also, decorating your caps wasn’t a thing when I graduated but I think it’s super cute to add a little personality.

Congrats Lauren! Thanks for allowing DMP to celebrate this exciting season with you!

Catharine & Ansley | Senior Portraits

View fullsize

I believe in movie nights spent on the couch with popcorn watching old home videos. Laughing over your youngest sibling's terrible bowl cut from third grade & recalling the smell of cinnamon rolls fresh out of the oven while presents are opened on Christmas morning.

I grew up with a brother, so having a sister is foreign to me. But I imagine the sister bond is strong - once you get past the stage of stealing each others' clothes. Ha! Who am I kidding, that probably never stops.

I can only imagine the memories these two sisters have shared throughout the years. This year is a special one, though, because they are both seniors for the class of 2017 - Catharine, a college graduate, & Ansley, a high school graduate.

I simply loved adventuring around downtown Mobile with these two sisters. A random parking garage & Bienville Square made for the perfect backdrops for Catharine & Ansley.

Congrats girls! So thankful you allowed me to capture such an exciting season for you two & your family.

Meagan | Senior Portraits

Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.

Mobile, Alabama has three major universities - University of Mobile (my alma mater), Springhill College (UMobile's crosstown rival) & University of South Alabama (Go Jags). So one afternoon I ventured across town for another senior session for a college grad.

But not just any senior - her name is Meagan. She is a sweet as that smile on her face. And very driven in the pursuit of following her passions.

I met up with this sweet gal & her mom on a very windy afternoon. But they were troopers. Meagan's long curly blonde hair & style is oh so fabulous - trust me when I say you're going to want to keep scrolling to see with her second outfit. Hint: romper with ruffles! Ah. I could never pull that off but her long legs sure can!

Congrats Meagan! And remember to be fearless as you embark on this new journey.
