I am a Sweet Home Alabama Photographer who loves serving easy-going, joyful clients who love their dogs! One of my goals for 2021: photograph more PUPS! And looking back, I can confidently say I did just that. And to conclude a great year, I’m reliving some of the moments that happened behind the scenes.

Here are all the adorable PUPS from 2021 & a few more BTS images. Cheers to a New Year, friends!

Pup Portraits

I became a “dog mom” 8 years ago to the sweetest Cavalier King Charles. He changed my life & brought so much joy into my life. It wasn’t long until I realized that so many others consider their four-legged companions as family too. Call us crazy & obsessed, but it’s amazing how loyal & loving such a small (or big) creature could give to a human.

A few of my clients have given me the title of “dog whisperer” & I love it! I love meeting all the pups & hoomans that love them so. 🐾

DMP is a BIG fan of Hand in Paw therapy teams here in Birmingham, Alabama. I had the opportunity to photograph two of their Picasso Pets sessions this year. I photographed the event two years ago, but seeing the beginning of the paintings & meeting the artists were super cool.

Behind the Scenes

A lot of times you only see the final portrait, but never knew the chaos that took place behind the scenes. Sometimes you find the wedding coordinator serving her bride nuggets or a groomsman carrying the bride’s gown. Other times it’s the parents dancing just to get their child to smile or the countless cups of coffee keeping us going.

Tuesdays Together Birmingham - Rising Tides Society

2021 brought about a new & exciting change for me. I took on the role as leader of Birmingham’s Tuesdays Together Chapter. TT is a community of small business owners & entrepreneurs, from hobbyist to seasoned professional, gathering the second Tuesday of every month (unless otherwise noted!) in the spirit of Community Over Competition. Find us on Facebook! Honored to be able to connect to so many incredible people here in the Magic City in a very unique way. Stay tuned to see how this group makes waves in 2022!
