This past fall I had the privilege of traveling to Livingston, AL a couple times for graduate sessions at the University of West Alabama. Each of these sessions held special mementos for the respective grad, reflective of their time in the halls. If you are seeking a photographer for your graduate or senior session in the west Alabama areas, feel free to view my offerings here


The first session was with Anna Kristen, a fellow photographer friend of mine, which was an honor to be selected to take her graduation photos. This is due to the fact that every photographer has their own style and a keen eye for what constitutes a good photo. Her session day was miserably cold and windy, but you wouldn't know it because the sun was glorious and Anna didn't show how cold she was - she merely looked radiant.

The second session at the University of West Alabama was a group of five spectacular women and friends who wanted to do a session together. I offer a special for group sessions, which is detailed on my website here.
