vintage love {kiki and dougie} ∫engagement photography∫ north alabama photographer

So Kiersten aka Kiki is one of my very best friends and when she told me that her and Dougie fresh were getting married I was so stinking excited!!! These two are adorable! 







Kiersten knew that she wanted to do something fun and vintage so, naturally we went thrift store shopping! We found some great props, not to mention the use of my husbands prized records!!  From there we did a 1940's themed shoot downtown!

bou•doir: A lady's private sitting room, dressing room, or bedroom.
Thus there is boudoir photography! I've been wanting to do some of these for a long time but never had the right person.  Well then there was Hannah. She's my go to girl {she's also an aspiring actress hire her!}

  We had an absolute blast doing this shoot! If you're a fierce chick like Hannah you should try it!

In order to enter the contest for a free engagement session (or newlywed session, or best friend session, or any photo session of two people), just email me with your idea for the shoot. I'm looking for the most creative shoot ideas, locations, props, etc... Are there places you like going on dates? Secret locations that I couldn't find on my own? Crazy costumes or musical instruments?


Email (strawberryjudephotography@yahoo.com) your ideas to me in the next few weeks. I will choose a winning session on Sunday February 27th, and will announce the winning idea on the blog on Monday 2/28. You can be a current client, former client, potential client, a friend or a stranger. You must be willing to sign model releases for me, so that I can use the images for stock and promotion. The winning session will include shooting time, online hosting, and an 8x10 of your favorite shot.

In order to enter this year, please email:

Also, if you are interested in a portrait shoot for yourself, your family, you and your partner, or a pet, I will be offering discounted mini portrait sessions through February and March. These sessions will be only $150 (1/3 of the normal portrait price!), will run up to an hour, and will include online hosting, digital proofing/ online hosting, and an 8x10" print of your choice.
