The Wheeler Family

Tuesday, June 30, 2009

The Wheeler Family was another reschedule victim of my appendectomy. But...we finally got together with them and shot some family portraits!

These two little folks were cracking me up the whole time. The only way we could get little sister to smile was for Anna to hit me on the head with her flip flop. Anna took this as an opportunity to vent some frustration....how convenient.

Right before I took this next picture I thought I was going to be Mr. Nature and show the two little ones a turtle that had wandered into the field. Only after I had brought them over did we all realize that the turtle had...as Shane (dad) put it...."gone where all good turtles go." Yep...I made a special point to show two small children a dead turtle. Sweet dreams tonight guys!

There was no flip flop beating required for this smile....we had won her over by this point! The Higginbotham charm is a dangerous thing....thankfully we only use it for good.

Shane and Anora

Thursday, June 25, 2009

I had to reschedule many sessions while I was recovering from the great Atlanta vacation of '09. Shane and Anora were one of those sessions. Well I rescheduled them for the last week of my recovery period. Mainly to help prepare me for full time work. Anna was with me to help with anything over 15lbs...since that was my weight restriction at the time. I was extremely excited to be shooting again....still am.

We ran around downtown Huntsville and swam through the humidity for their engagement session.

Congratulations!

Cracker Barrell Front Porch Studio

Sunday, June 21, 2009

In keeping with my goal to better document my family I wanted to make a portrait of my dad this morning at breakfast. My family typically gets together on Sunday morning of Mother's and Father's Day to celebrate. Unfortunately I was working out of town on Mother's Day this year so Mom....I owe you a portrait!

Another reason I wanted to do this was that for the first time in my entire life my father has facial hair. It gives me hope that one day maybe I'll be able to grow facial hair of my own. My beard attempt would look pretty poor right now I imagine. Everybody needs beard hope.

Thanks for everything you and mom have done for me over the years....especially putting me through college! That's a biggie for which I know I haven't thanked you enough.

Happy Father's Day Dad!

I'm almost back at it.....

Thursday, June 11, 2009

Well I am almost recovered from my surgery. I have watched about 300 episodes of CSI (both NY and Vegas) and have looked out the front windows of my house almost as many times. I am thankful for the time to recover....but I am done with sitting around! Wow.

Tonight I was able to go watch my niece Kate at her dance recital. Now I rarely bring anything but a point-and-shoot camera to my family events. I know...that makes me a horrible person...but it's the whole cobbler's kids have no shoes thing. I have taken my camera to a few of my nephews baseball games but I usually fail in the "provide your family with good photos" department. Well luckily tonight I was so ready to have a chance to shoot something I went to the extra effort. Plus I am a sucker for good stage lighting. By the way...what is it about a disco ball? Those things are hypnotic.

This is my youngest niece Tess watching a few of the other routines while holding the flowers they were going to give Kate afterward.

...and here is Ms. Kate during her routine.

I tried to convince Kate that I had a little routine that I threw together last minute hoping she could find a spot for me. No such luck. Their loss....it would have been life changing for everyone in attendance.

The big finish....

I should be back to posting regular here soon. Oh and I am also available to process any crime scene if anyone needs me for that as well. I can't promise that it would hold up in court....but I'm certain I could do it!

There's nothing like a good vacation

Friday, May 29, 2009

Anna and I had planned a little weekend getaway this past weekend to Atlanta. Shopping, Braves game, etc... We were both looking forward to it.

This is me at Copeland's Cheesecake Bistro at Atlantic Station. I love that place.

Just a few hours later I found myself here....

Nope...it had nothing to do with Copeland's....but I had to include one of the only real "vacation" pictures we shot this past weekend.

Now I love a good vacation as much as the next guy. But I prefer mine with relaxation not induced via i.v. Well that wasn't going to happen. I went from happy little guy eating crawfish ravioli to a drugged up little guy posing with his wife right outside the operating room at Atlanta's Emory University Hospital Midtown. I was having my appendix removed. Yay for vacation.

I can't say enough good things about the nurses and staff at Emory. They were incredible! Dr. Frank Jones was great to work with as well! He is the doctor who conducted my surgery. Dr. Jones and everyone else at Emory definitely made the best of a bad situation for me! I really do appreciate that.

But the most thanks goes to my lovely wife. She slept very little and spent all of her time making sure I was as comfortable as possible. I couldn't have done it without her.

Thanks to everyone else who called and brought food and who have sent gifts. It means a lot!

So I'm at home now recovering.....I should be back to normal shooting soon!

Mike and Erica are married

Wednesday, May 20, 2009

It is always an honor for a couple to choose me to photograph their wedding. But there's just a tad extra honor tossed in there when it's another photographer! Michael asked me to photograph he and Erica's wedding at Annabella at Cedar Glen in Huntsville, Alabama. We had rain and tornado warnings about an hour before the ceremony began but it cleared up and turned into a great afternoon once the wedding kicked off. As always...I'll be happy to take full credit for that!

As far as flower girls go...I mean...I'm fairly certain it doesn't get much cuter than this.

Little DHP flower girl dresses are now available in our online store. ;)

Congratulations!!!

Sarah's Senior Portraits

Monday, May 18, 2009

Sarah is one of the many seniors graduating this month. I have no recollection of what was going through my mind right before I graduated. It's one of those moments in life when you would think your mind would be filled with profound thoughts and hopes for the future. I can't remember a thing. Oh well....hopefully Sarah will do a better job of remembering!

There is kind of an unwritten rule among photographers....if there is a VW van within 200 yards of your session...you must shoot it.

Congratulations Sarah and good luck!! Start a blog or something....so 12 years from now you'll be able to remember things!

Annatations - May 17th, 2009

I'm going to start sprinkling posts from Anna's blog here on this blog. I mean...half the stuff she puts on that blog are things we have done together anyway...so why write it twice right? Unless I come up with a snappier name.....I will call this "Annatations".

On May 17th, 2009 Anna wrote:

On Friday night, we gambled with the Mother Nature, and went out to the rodeo in Athens. I wish I could find a picture, but I didn't have the time, nor desire to go digging through my mom's bazillion picture albums to find the picture of when I was Miss Rodeo Queen. Maybe I will find it and post it later...anyways, I digress. So we ended up going and it sprinkled maybe a little bit, but nothing major. As we were walking in, our neighbor AJ McCloud on WDRM stopped us and we were talking. He was about to do a live broadcast and asked if we would comment about the rodeo. Now, I am a trained professional in public relations...I should be ready at all times to "make a statement/give a comment." We had about 30 seconds before we were on...and I went blank...I am talking BLANK!! So, when he put the microphone in my face, what came out was just by the grace of God. It wasn't my best, but definitely not my worst. David of course had to throw in something goofy as usual...you can listen to it here...

So after our 30 seconds of fame, we went on in to enjoy a wonderful night at the rodeo. Here are some shots from the night....

David is obviously a little more excited than I am...

It is my goal next year to carry the flag...ya'll watch out!

A little chuck wagon racing...

And of course our favorite...the bull riding!

Allie

Sunday, May 17, 2009

I had the privilege of taking some photos of Allie a few weeks ago. Her dad just so happened to have a red Corvette....how convenient for us. I offered up my Camry....but they felt the Corvette was a better fit.
