Joe and Ruth Mayo 50th Wedding Anniversary

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to take photos for Joe and Ruth Mayo for their 50th Wedding Anniversary.  It was pretty awesome getting to hear their story and step back in time with their  family and friends.  Overall, there was a formal side and a redneck side and decorations made to reflect what their wedding was like fifty years ago.  Apparently, RC Cola and moon pies were all the rage.  What I also learned was the fact that this family loved to laugh and enjoy what the Lord has given them.  With guest who were present on their original wedding day and children (and grand children and great grand children), this was a great time to celebrate what was really important - their commitment to one another before God.  Fifty years is a long time and it was encouraging to hear how they've faced certain challenges and overcame various odds to still remain together.  In the end, it really is the sustaining power of God above and that commitment they made before him fifty years earlier.  Here are a few of my favorite photos!

Advanced Eye Care: Staff Photos

A few weeks ago I took some staff photos for Advanced Eye Care here in Homewood, AL.  I had a chance to use my flashes in this setting and really liked how the photos turned out even though there were multiple mirrors, glasses, and reflective material.  This is definitely a place you need to check out.

Carver Family Photos 2012

Here are a few photos from my time with the Carvers.  The weather was really nice and people were definitely out and about. It made for a challenging day to make sure people were out of the shot but I was up for it.  Hope you guys enjoy!

Birmingham School of Music / Instruments

Its been a while since my last post, but as many of you know I just finished my first year in Optometry school.  Life seems to run in sprints and in between lectures and exams.  More often than not, I wish I could get out and capture more of what's going on.  Recently, I had a chance to shoot the faculty portraits for the Birmingham School of Music here in Vestavia Hills.  Russ Maddox is the owner and he's got a great group of teachers. They range from classical piano, wood and wind instruments, to drums and guitar, and a vocal training.

These photos are pretty standard but I thought I'd share a few portraits.
