“Dirt in the Skirt: A Dance Adventure in the dirt with Gradie Wren!” – Birmingham Photographer

“Dirt in the Skirt”: A Dance Adventure in the dirt with Gradie Wren! 

Birmingham Photographer

Hey there, fellow photography enthusiasts! Today, I’m thrilled to share with you an absolutely adorable and energetic photoshoot I had with the charming little dancer, Gradie Wren. This four-year-old dynamo brought her infectious enthusiasm and boundless energy to the softball field, transforming it into a whimsical wonderland of dance, dirt and blow bubbles. Get ready for a behind-the-scenes peek into the “Dirt in the Skirt” photoshoot!

As soon as I laid eyes on Gradie Wren, I knew we were in for a fun-filled adventure. Dressed in her vibrant dance outfit, complete with a twirly skirt and softball cleats, she radiated joy and excitement. With a mischievous twinkle in her eye, Gradie wasted no time and took off on a sprint towards the softball field, her tiny feet kicking up clouds of dust behind her.

We decided to embrace the setting and make the most of it. The softball field became our dance floor, and Gradie, with her unwavering enthusiasm, embraced the challenge of dancing amidst the dirt and grass. As she twirled and leaped, her skirt caught the sunlight, creating a dazzling array of colors. Each graceful movement seemed to cast a spell on the field, bringing it to life.

Capturing Gradie’s natural charm and exuberance was an absolute joy. I clicked away, freezing each magical moment, and the camera lens seemed to be enchanted by her infectious spirit. From her gleeful jumps to her twirls that defied gravity, Gradie effortlessly transformed the softball field into her very own dance kingdom.

The sound of her tiny feet sprinting across the grass and the laughter that filled the air made it clear that this was no ordinary photoshoot; it was a celebration of childhood, joy, and a free spirit.

The “Dirt in the Skirt” photoshoot captured more than just beautiful images—it was a reminder of the incredible capacity children have to find joy in the simplest of things. Gradie’s enthusiasm, her laughter, and her carefree nature transported us to a world where the possibilities were endless.

The “Dirt in the Skirt” photoshoot with Gradie Wren will forever hold a special place in my heart. It was a reminder that sometimes, the most extraordinary moments can be found in the simplest of settings. So, let’s remember to embrace our inner child, dance with abandon, twirl in the dirt and always be ready to blow some bubbles, regardless of our age.

Until next time, keep capturing the magic, one click at a time!

 

Newborn Girl Photoshoot: A Little Slice of Heaven

Newborn Girl Photoshoot: A Little Slice of Heaven

As a professional photographer, I am always excited to capture the special moments in people’s lives. There is nothing more precious than a newborn baby, and I am honored to be able to capture those first few weeks of life in my studio.
I am often asked by parents what they need to do to prepare for the photoshoot. While every family is different, there are a few general tips that I always recommend.

Planning and anticipation are essential elements of a newborn girl photoshoot. Here are a few tips to plan ahead:

First and foremost, it is important to make sure your little one is well-rested before the shoot. This will help them to be calm and comfortable during the session. I also recommend feeding them right before we start, as a full tummy will help them to drift off to sleep.
Newborn girl photoshoots are typically done when the baby is between two weeks and four weeks old. They are best done in a studio setting with professional lighting and props. Check out my studio HERE!

If you are thinking about having a newborn girl photoshoot, then keep reading! In this blog post, we will share some tips to help you get started.

– Choose the photographer: It is important to find the right photographer for this special occasion. Do your research and visit studios to make sure the photographer is experienced and professional. Contact me to get more information about booking a session! 
– Get information on the studio: Check out the photographer’s studio and make sure it is clean and organized. Decorate the room with items that will be used in the photos such as props, backdrops, blankets, and clothes.
– Set aside some time: Schedule a time to do the photoshoot when the baby is likely to sleepy and not wide awake. Select a time of day that is comfortable for both you and the baby.

And once we’re all done…

Once the photography session is finished, I’ll get to work on editing your photos. I’ll be sure to make any necessary adjustments and edits that will enhance the images. When they’re done, you can expect me to deliver the photos to a custom online proofing site that is password protected – both digital files and prints are available.
As a newborn photographer, my goal is to to provide you with amazing photos that you want to share with friends and family. I provide packages that enable you to purchase digital files where you can post and proudly showcase your newborn’s beautiful photos.
Moreover, I’m here every step of the way to help you out with any questions or queries you might have about this process.

5 Benefits of Decluttering Your Home This Spring – Birmingham Photographer

5 Benefits of Decluttering Your Home This Spring 

Amy P Photography – Birmingham Photographer

 

spring

 

Spring time means so much, but one thing we all dread, but must do, is clean! Yep! Spring cleaning!

Don’t let clutter overwhelm your home and cause stress and chaos in your mind. This is one of my goals this year for sure. I am writing this from my bedroom where 2 laundry baskets of clothes are staring back at me and 1 pile has been waiting to be put up in its rightful place for about a week now. I may not be qualified to give you all of these tasks or examples but they are a few that I have gathered and that spoke to me, so I thought I would share them…And at least you know you get no judgment from me whatsoever. Glass house over here. It gets hard…We have lives, busy busy lives, jam packed schedules, kiddos, kiddos in extracurriculars, jobs, you name it, we do it and our home gets neglected. But y’all, not this year, I want my home to be relaxing and calming and a refuge for us and everyone who enters it as well. 

spring

I want to start with 5 reasons why you should spring declutter and the benefits you will reap in doing so.

  1. Less time cleaning. The less you have the less you have to clean and pick up and put away and tidy. I don’t know about you, but that in and of itself does it for me. Getting my kiddos on board with this one might take a little more convincing but I feel like once they do, they’ll appreciate the things they have so much more. 
  2. No more buying/Less spending. This one will be my husbands number 1 for sure…For me to do no more spending. The more you remove and declutter, the less inclined you are to bring extra “stuff” into your home. It shifts your whole perspective about what you actually NEED in your space. **Added bonus: If you can sell your items on marketplace or a yard sale or mercari or wherever and make some money in the process.**
  3. Time in general. Once you are finished with this process, your home will be clean and neat and you’ll also be left with extra time. Time to spend with kiddos, time for date nights, time for gardening, time to take a cooking class, time to take up a new hobby, time for a nap, time for a part time job with the amount of decluttering our house needs. Whatever you choose to do with your time is up to you but I think we can all agree that we could use more time in a day. Ta-Da!
  4. Organization. It’s easier to organize 10 things than it is to organize 100. Pretty self explanatory. Everything in their place will also provide you with a sense of peace and purpose in your home and contribute to its overall cleanliness too. 
  5. Be present. This is goal #2 for me this year. To be more involved and active and present in the moment and not so much the stress and hustle and bustle of it all. This is a very hard one for working Mamas but I can make excellent strides towards achieving this. It’s so easy to get caught up in having more and or wanting more but if your mindset is to declutter, I believe that a switch will get activated where you are no longer searching for what’s next and what can we do now and rather focus on what we have and truly enjoy the moments that we’re in while we’re in them. 

P.S. When you get your home just as you want it, reach out to Amy P Photography to schedule an in home lifestyle session. Your house will be beautiful and you can capture this peaceful transition for you and your family with lasting images for years to come. Maybe make that your goal…You’ve been wanting family photos and you’ve been wanting your home in order, what better motivation to get it all done? 

Here I’ve listed 5 ways to make spring decluttering less stressful and overwhelming. When you have a lot, you know this task is going to be a lot, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming and daunting. Follow these tips and take it 1 thing at a time. 

  1. Declutter 1 room at a time. It is not all going to get done in 1 day. Make realistic goals and have realistic expectations about how this process is going to go. It will be far less stressful and also more effective if you do 1 space at a time. Once that one is completed, you’ll be so motivated to move onto another. 
  2. Declutter by item and not space. Case and point…You start with your closet but you store some clothes in the attic and some in a guest room as well. Bring all of those items (clothes) to the space you’re working in and go from there. Avoid hopping back and forth from all 3 spaces though. 
  3. Declutter by taking it all out. This make s a huge mess but it is necessary for you to lay eyes on everything so you don’t miss things. Once everything is out, it also affords you a wonderful opportunity to deep clean and wipe down that space/surface. Marie Kondo has a wonderful tidbit to offer in this department where you actually put your hands on each individual object. You pick it up, see if it sparks joy and is necessary for you to keep or if you no longer have a use for it. 
  4. Decluttering is messy. It’s a process. A means to an end. The end result will be so worth it but the process will literally make you feel like your home has exploded on multiple occasions. This is another reason that it’s so important to stick to 1 room/space at a time. Accept the process and know this from the start. I think this helps to manage your expectations and alleviate the stress that this causes. 
  5. Declutter from easiest to most difficult. If you collect items that you know are going to be difficult or taxing to go though, if your book collection rivals Beasts library, you have more clothes than a department store, don’t start there. Start in an area that will be easy and non sentimental and work your way up to the more challenging difficult areas. 
spring

Here’s are 5 of the easiest things you can do to spring declutter your home. 

  1. Kitchen/Pantry. Clear out the kitchen drawers and cabinets (including that God awful tupperware cabinet), empty the refrigerator after, declutter the kitchen table/island which are often catch alls, and then go shelf by shelf in your pantry. 
  2. Bathroom. Counters first and then under the sink, sort through makeup and products as well once you’ve wiped and cleaned everything. 
  3. Dressers/Nightstands. Take them all 1 drawer at a time but once these areas are more organized you’ll begin to feel a shift. Also, like tabletops, these surfaces are often drop off areas so make sure to address the tops of them as well. 
  4. Closets. When you do closets, I think it’s easiest to start with purses, handbags, hats, shoes, and accessories first. Just clearing that space of those items will already give you a feeling of accomplishment and allow you to continue to sort and declutter with ease. 
  5. Mail/Papers/Magazines. The best way to do this is to sort into 3 piles KEEP (bills, appointments, and reminders), FILE (important info to hang on to or kiddos school art work etc.), TOSS (everything else). **Bonus area if you want to tackle email…Some of you (me 100%) need to just delete it all and start over. 

Once you’ve followed all of those steps, maintenance is vital for this to continue. How do you maintain a clutter free space?

  1. Do a quick declutter monthly. Make it the first Saturday of the month, or whatever day works best for you, mark it on the calendar, get your family involved (turn it into a game like who donates the most items or who can clean their area the quickest), just take the time to continue this process so it doesn’t become your resolution again next year. 
  2. Always keep a bin for donations. Choose a spot in your home, a corner or an area in a closet, anywhere, that you can get rid of items frequently instead of allowing them to pile up and sit in your basement or garage for months on end.
  3. Stop buying new things. Again, all the husbands of the world rejoice. It isn’t 100% avoidable but if you’re minimizing the amount of items you bring into your home then your space can remain clutter free. 
  4. 10 items at a time. When maintaining, it’s often an easy thing to take 10 minutes and find 10 items from 1 space that are not used or not purposeful. Take 10 minutes and end your day with 10 less items. It’s a small thing but decluttering doesn’t always have to be time consuming and significant if you’re doing your part to incorporate it into your everyday life and making mindful choices. 
  5. The 9 month rule. If you haven’t used it in 9 months you aren’t going to. Get rid of it. There’s no “just in case.” You can make a whole baby in the time since you’ve last used that purse, those shoes, that broken seagull you keep saying you’ll fix. Make this less about sentiment and focus of the rational decision to declutter your home, mind, body, and soul. 

 

Check out this AMAZING blog I personally follow, she has some great tips on how to get the kiddos involved in the spring cleaning too! 
I hope that some of these have been helpful and motivating for you guys, I hope you feel inspired to tackle this spring (one room at a time), and I hope that you are able to be more present and enjoy the little things so much more once you’ve gone through this process. I wish you all the most amazing year full of blessings and joy and happiness.

Maternity Photoshoot: The Patel Family is Expecting a Baby Girl!

Maternity Photoshoot: The Patel Family is Expecting a Baby Girl!

Amy P Photography

The Patel family is growing! They’re expecting a baby girl in just a few short months, and I had the honor of capturing their excitement and joy during their maternity photoshoot. As a photographer, I absolutely love working with families during this special time in their lives. Maternity photoshoots are an opportunity to celebrate the beauty of pregnancy and the anticipation of welcoming a new addition to the family. During the Patel’s photoshoot, we explored a beautiful outdoor location with stunning natural scenery. It was so much fun to capture the playful interactions between the soon-to-be-big-brother and his parents, and the love and excitement they all felt for the new baby girl on the way.

If you’re considering a maternity photoshoot, my advice is to make it a fun and memorable experience. Choose a location that’s meaningful to you and your family, wear clothes that make you feel comfortable and confident, and don’t be afraid to get creative with poses and props. These photos will be cherished for years to come, and will always remind you of the special time when you were growing your family. Check out my blog post on how to have the best maternity session! 

I can’t wait to meet the Patel’s baby girl and capture her newborn photos. In the meantime, I’m thrilled to have been able to document this exciting time in their lives. Congratulations to the Patel family on their growing family!

How to Make Your Maternity Photoshoot a Success – Amy P Photography

How to Make Your Maternity Photoshoot a Success

Amy P Photography

 

1. The Benefits of  Maternity Photos 

A maternity photoshoot is a wonderful way to capture the beauty of pregnancy and celebrate the impending arrival of your new baby. These types of shoots are becoming increasingly popular, as they provide expectant mothers with a cherished keepsake that they can look back on for years to come. 

Maternity photos are also a great way to document your pregnancy journey and create beautiful memories that you can share with your child in the future. In addition to the obvious benefits of having gorgeous photos to look back on, maternity shoots can also be a great way to relax and connect with your baby before their arrival. 

If you are pregnant and considering a maternity shoot, read on to learn more about the benefits of these types of photoshoots!

2. The Best Time for a Maternity Photoshoot 

When it comes to scheduling your maternity photoshoot, it’s important to choose the right time for the best results. Generally speaking, the best time for maternity photos is between weeks 28 and 36 of your pregnancy, when your belly has grown to its biggest size and your clothing still fits you comfortably. 

Remember, every pregnancy is different, so if you are certain that you want a maternity shoot but can’t commit to a specific date yet, don’t worry! You can schedule your shoot in advance, and the photographer can work with you to get the best results once your due date draws closer. 

When it comes to finding the best time for your maternity photoshoot, ultimately, the decision is up to you and your photographer. Take the time to discuss your options and decide what works best for you.

 

3. How to Choose The Best Photographer (duh me!)

When it comes to scheduling and choosing a maternity photographer for your shoot, you’ll want to do your research and select a photographer whose work you trust and admire. Here are some tips to consider when selecting a maternity photographer to ensure you get the best results:

1. Check out their portfolio, and select images that speak to you and your aesthetic. 

2. Ask them about their approach to maternity shoots and their experience.

3. Check out their reviews and ratings. 

4. Ask them about their photo packages, including the prints and digital copies they offer.

5. Make sure to ask if they offer additional products like canvas prints or photo books. 

6. Ask if they offer payment plans and discounts for their packages

7. Check their guidelines, policies, and terms of service before booking. 

These tips will ensure that you have a successful maternity photoshoot and get the best results from the photographer of your choice!

4. What to Wear to a Maternity Photoshoot 

Your maternity photoshoot is the perfect time to show off your baby bump, so you want to make sure that you look your best for the shoot. Here are some tips for choosing the perfect maternity shoot wardrobe:

1. Choose clothes that you feel comfortable in. You want to make sure that you will be confident and relaxed during the shoot. I offer a Pinterest Board for inspiration! 

2. Choose clothing that reflects your current style. Whether you prefer bright and bold or neutral and laid-back, wear something that you feel expresses who you are.

3. Opt for flattering shapes and silhouettes. Show off your curves and your beautiful bump in clothes that are tailored and well-fitting.

4. Incorporate some personal items into the shoot. This could be a necklace that holds special meaning or a blanket that is special to you.

5. Think about props. For example, you could use fabric and have the photographer drape it around you. Or you could use other items like flowers, balloons, or pillows as props.

Choosing the perfect maternity photoshoot wardrobe will ensure that your pictures will turn out beautifully and capture this moment in time perfectly!

family maternity photos

5. Tips for a Successful Maternity Photoshoot

To make sure that your maternity photoshoot is a success, here are 5 tips that you should keep in mind:

1. Pick a Photographer You Love. When it comes to your maternity photoshoot, your photos will only come out as good as the photographer you choose. Take the time to research different photographers and find someone whose style you love and who specializes in maternity photography.

2. Schedule the Shoot Strategically. If you want to be sure to have both your partner and your baby bump in the photos, make sure you plan the shoot depending on your due date.

3. Prepare the Outfit Beforehand. The outfit you choose to wear for the shoot should reflect your style and make you look and feel great. Make sure to try it on beforehand and that the outfit displays your bump in the most flattering way.

4. Have Fun with Props. Props are a great way to make your maternity photoshoot more interesting, so pick a few items like a flower crown, a scarf, balloons, or a blanket that mean something special to you and incorporate them into your photos.

5. Don’t Forget to Smile. Take the time to relax and have fun during the shoot and don’t forget to smile! Not only will this make your pictures turn out better, but it will also make the experience of the photoshoot more enjoyable for you.

Family Photoshoot with the Patel Family – Birmingham Photographer

Family Photoshoot with the Patel Family 

Birmingham Photographer

As a family photographer, I had the pleasure of shooting the Patel family’s latest family photoshoot. The location and weather were perfect for this fun and memorable session. 

I have had the honor of capturing the Patel family’s special moments over the years, including both girls’ maternity and newborn photos. Watching them grow and change is one of the best parts of my job, and I couldn’t wait to see how much they’ve grown since our last shoot.

Ariya, the oldest, was a natural in front of the camera, striking poses and flashing her adorable smile. Riya, the little sister, was a bit shy at first, but she quickly warmed up and started having a blast. It was so much fun watching the sisters interact and play together.

We explored the location, taking advantage of the gorgeous scenery and perfect weather. From the blooming flowers to the towering trees, we had plenty of stunning backdrops to choose from. The girls loved posing for photos and even had some silly shots that turned out absolutely adorable.

Capturing the Patel family’s love and joy was a true pleasure. They have such a wonderful connection and it shows in every photo we took. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this amazing family and to continue capturing their special moments along the way.

If you’re looking to capture your own family’s special moments, a family photoshoot is the perfect way to do it. The memories will last a lifetime, and the photos will be cherished for generations to come. So why not book your own session and create some unforgettable memories with your loved ones?

Spring Fun in Birmingham: Best Outdoor Activities for Families

Spring Fun in Birmingham:

Best Outdoor Activities for Families

outdoor spring photoshoot

 

Spring is here and I for one am so ready for it. Easter, baseball, park days, all the outdoor activities, and hallelujah for the sun being out until dinner time am I right? Birmingham Mom Collective has put together a wonderful list of ALL THINGS SPRINGS, so check that out and plan accordingly to enjoy this season and spend some time outdoors with the entire family.

Aside from the Birmingham Barons, the Savannah Bananas are also hosting a 2 game series in town. One game to be played at Regions Field and the other will take place at Rickwood Field. Sign up today to get your spot in the ticket lottery before tickets go on sale to the public. 

Zoo days this time of year are my absolute favorite and even if you don’t want to brave the zoo or the crazy spring weather, the Alabama Safari park isn’t a long drive. We haven’t been to the one in Montgomery but we did venture to the one in Tupelo a couple of years ago and it was a quick day trip full of family fun, great memories, and amazing food. Be sure to check out Neon Pig and Funky Cones for food and dessert. Splash pads are a fun day time kiddo friendly activity as well. There are many to choose from around the area. Gardendale, Hoover, Cullman, and there’s even one at the zoo. 

And this is my spring outdoor must do…Tulip Farms. There are 2 that I know of here American Village in Montevallo and Hubert Family Farms in New Market which is a good day trip about an hour and a half from Birmingham. Both of these places offer the most picturesque backdrops for the season perfect for family pictures. 

Want to spend a fun day making memories without breaking the bank? Take a trip to the Botanical Gardens or Aldridge Gardens and go from a stroll or pack a picnic. Both offer free admission and the only thing better than Mama’s PB&J is Mama’s PB&J in a beautiful garden right?

Also, one of my most favorite things in the world to do is to dine Vecchia. Eating dinner outside is so relaxing to me and something about everyone just being chill and informal makes for the best conversations and creating fun and lasting memories with my favorite people. The kiddos often grab sidewalk chalk or bubbles and just play when they’re through so the adults can just sit and talk and watch them just enjoy life to the fullest. There are a tone of outdoor dining options listed HERE as well!!

As a family photographer, I recently had the pleasure of capturing the love and joy of an adorable family of 4 during an outdoor photoshoot.

The session was filled with precious moments that truly captured the essence of their bond and the beauty of the location.

The photoshoot took place in a serene outdoor setting that provided the perfect backdrop for capturing memories. Keira, the youngest of the family, stole the show with her stunning pink dress that added a pop of color and matched the location perfectly. She was an absolute joy to photograph as she twirled and giggled, radiating pure happiness.

Cian, the sweet big brother, was equally charming and stole our hearts with his affectionate gestures towards his little sister. His handsome demeanor and kind nature shone through in every shot, as he lovingly held Keira’s hand and made her laugh.

Throughout the session, I focused on capturing candid moments of laughter and love between the siblings. From playing hide-and-seek behind trees to chasing each other in the open field, their playful interactions made for heartwarming and genuine photos that will be cherished for years to come.

The outdoor shoot provided ample opportunities for spontaneous and natural shots, as they enjoyed the beauty of nature together. The soft golden light of the setting sun added a warm glow to the photos, creating a magical atmosphere that enhanced the natural bond between the family members.

I always strive to capture the unique personalities and emotions of each family I work with, and this session was no exception. Keira’s twirling, Cian’s big brother moments, and the family’s laughter were truly heartwarming to witness and document.

In conclusion, this adorable family photoshoot was a delightful experience filled with love, laughter, and precious memories.  It was an honor to capture their joy and love, and I hope these photos will be treasured by the family for generations to come.
