jmurphy — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 05:04:06 +0000

Last month the American Meteorological Society held their big annual meeting in NEW ORLEANS! I love New Orleans, it is only a couple of hours away from ye olde hometown and I was so excited to be there – oh and to use my new lightsphere to photograph an event! I photographed the reception held by University of Alabama Huntsvilles Department of Atmospheric Science. There were a lot of sciencey people doin a lot of sciencey talk! I just really liked these images of the coffee from their reception hall so I thought I’d give you guys a little blog coffee!

I’ll tell you one thing – this little guy is 100% pure sweetness – with a side of mischief! We were in New Orleans for a week recently and while we were there we visited with and photographed this little thumbsucker! Here is a taste!

WINTER WEAR | PORTRAITS | ATHENS, ALABAMA PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

jmurphy — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 19:12:29 +0000

I wanted to share some more images from my “Winter Wear” shoots! I love winter portrait sessions! Heck, they might even be my favorite. There are so many more styling and layering possibilities with warm colors, chunky sweaters, fun scarves and hats to add interest to your outfit! There is something beautiful about winter light too. We don’t get the harsh sunlight which leaves us with a dreamy haze. See for yourself!

If you love this look we still have the rest of the month to try to squeeze in a winter session! Just send me an email for more information!

I recently did my first facebook promotion and if you follow me here, but not on facebook – then you totally missed out- so head on over and like my page! Remember that week when it rained the whole time and then the weekend was bright and pretty and COOOLLLLD!! I didn’t have ANY sessions booked that weekend and it was so pretty and cold out that I really wanted to photograph some young ones in their most awesome scarves and hats – WINTERWEAR! I gave away a free session including edited images and high resolution disc to the first person who responded that was eligible, and to the second person who responded a free mini session with major discounts on products.

That weekend I ended up photographing a pair of cousins! They were GREAT models and I think we had a lot of fun around Athens.

SLICE OF LIFE | PERSONAL | ATHENS ALABAMA PHOTOGRAPHER

jmurphy — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 02:47:18 +0000

Just wanted to share a little vignette from my kitchen. I think this area is lovely. Of course, its the milk glass stand that makes it. We usually keep a loaf of bread inside. There are still two rooms in our house that we have barely touched. The kitchen is one of them. We haven’t even painted in there! That is our goal for this year – to redo our kitchen. So by mid summer you hopefully wont see mustard walls and laminate countertops anymore! We are planning on marble tile backsplash and a corian countertop. I’ll have to remember to take before and afters!

This is something my husband had in his stocking this year. He is quite the cook so I figured he could incorporate it into some recipes. (which we have yet to do.)

I figured it would be good added with spice cookies, in a vinaigrette of some sort, or glaze for a salmon, maybe some sort of biscotti, you get the idea! I’m sure there are tons of recipes we could find online – but if you have any offhand feel free to share!

iPAD CASES | CUSTOM PRODUCTS | ATHENS ALABAMA PHOTOGRAPHER

jmurphy — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 21:16:11 +0000

After my last post I had some emails and facebook comments about the iPad covers! When you decide to order one you can look through my designs – things like patterns and words CAN be changed. For instance – if there is a date on what you see and you would rather it say a name – I can totally do that! They are a great way to protect your iPad and show off yourself or your family at the same time! We also have the iPhone cases to match or coordinate!

I SO enjoy spending my days with clients and hearing all the different stories that make up their lives – love stories, funny family stories, proposal stories. And being able to create images that they want to share with others gives me such pleasure!

My clients often want to showcase their images to others so I do offer some wonderful showcase pieces. Of course, we have prints of all sizes to be matted and framed, canvas, metal murals, ipad/iphone covers and custom designed albums, books, invitations, and save the dates! Those are the most ordered items, but if there is something specific that is not on our product guide, I can usually have that made also!

There is nothing I love more than to walk into a clients home and see images from our last session adorning their walls!

MOVIES | LIFE | ATHENS ALABAMA PHOTOGRAPHER

jmurphy — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 04:09:17 +0000

This is what many of my days look like. I edit images and play movies all day long. This would be a stack of my most girly movies. OH and don’t miss the starbucks perched atop the stack! Can’t forget that!

It would be a dream to have a shoot styled after any one of these movies! Boudoirs even!
