Making the decision to begin photographing in a studio was a challenging one for me; but as you’re aware, it’s quite uncomfortable outside most days in the winter and it really did seem like the next logical step to growing my portrait business. I’ve always primarily been an outdoor photographer, which has given me a […]

2020-What a year! It was full of challenges in many ways; and we faced them in our social lives, within our families, and in our businesses. You don’t need me to list the hurdles of 2020 because they are painfully obvious to us all. Almost unbelievably, but definitely gratefully, Bang Images had its most successful […]

I had the honor of being asked to photograph these awesome people for their sunset family photos this fall! I met them two years ago when I photographed their wedding ceremony at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens.  I’ve developed a friendship with Melissa, the mom, through social media since photographing them in 2018. She’s also a […]

Here’s my first attempt at a video tutorial! I’m excited about it, but obviously, with it being my first, it makes me feel a little vulnerable sharing it.

I couldn’t love this session any more than I do! I styled it based on color. Color theory is something that is fascinating to me and I have gotten very interested in trying to pack a visual punch through utilizing color in my sessions. But that’s definitely not the only reason I love this couple’s […]

It’s called evolution! It’s something we all have to go through whether we like it or not- in business, in relationships; it’s inevitable. Personally, I like change! I like mixing things up and hitting the refresh button. I’m the one who repaints the rooms in the house once every three-five years, rearranges the furniture, or […]

I get so excited when families that I’ve photographed before contact me again! It’s the ultimate compliment! Our first session started in their home and finished in a natural setting at a park nearby. This time the Rotters wanted something a little different so we chose two downtown locations. We started at the Pizitz, which […]
