Birmingham: The Food City!

With so many restaurants already and so many new restaurants that are on the horizon, it's no wonder that Birmingham has become one of the most amazing cities for food lovers!  Today we're throwing it back to one of our favorite shoots ever-The Birmingham Best Bites Cookbook.  We photographed almost 70 local restaurants for the cookbook that benefited the Birmingham Library.  We were so fortunate for the opportunity to sample some of the best dishes in town.  Here are a few of our favorites photos!

Happy Birthday Bella!

I couldn't think of a better way to spend your first birthday than a photo shoot in the gardens!  Bella is officially a one year old and she's ready for her close-up. With a face as sweet as her's, who wouldn't be? We had such a great time last week running around with this vivacious and energized little angel.  Of course, there were a few melt-downs here and there but before the session was over, Bella and I were the best of friends. Pretty in pink with a hair bow to match, this cutie was definitely dressed to impressed.  I can't wait until next year's session but in the meantime take a look at some of our favorite photos.  Happy Birthday Bella!  

Fairy Tales: Arden Photography

I remember growing up, our parents instilled in us that we could be anyone we wanted to be:  a doctor, a teacher, a photographer or even Snow White.  I remember when dressing up like your favorite character seemed to be a normal part of your daily childhood syllabus.  Whether it was Halloween or a regular trip to the grocery store, no one seemed to care that someone's child was in a full Superman or Cinderella attire!  It's really refreshing to see that some things haven't changed. In a world filled with the latest gadgets and video games, it's nice to know that the power of imagination still reigns supreme!
