Niki's 30th Birthday with The Southern Atelier

I was honored when Fashion Blogger and Stylist, Sarah of The Southern Atelier, approached me for a feature celebrating her gorgeous friend, Niki, for her big 30th birthday. Sarah is so talented and does everything with a sense of style and grace. She has been known in the Birmingham, and now Fairhope, community for styling the most stunning photoshoots and helping to define an artistic individuality that focuses on a modern Southern style. We started with her husband and pup outside my studio so we could get some fun shots of them together. The rest of the shoot was filled with all things cake, champagne, confetti, glitter, and a modern fashionable play on the most popular + fun children's birthday party -cake smash- theme! Be sure to schedule your next birthday, shower, or fashionable styled shoot with us at Lacey's new studio in downtown Fairhope, AL! We photograph everything from engagements, to baby showers, birthdays, newborns, anniversaries, fashion editorials, seniors, and more! The possibilities are endless!!

Having a passion for fashion, I am always delighted when I am able to work with models. All of the stars were aligned for this particular photo shoot and I was able to team up with some of my dearest friends from Atlanta, GA. Leigha and Kiyanna are two bright, beautiful hair stylists at Déa Salon who work to make people look extra marvelous every day. The word déa translates in Italian to mean 'goddess.' With all of our energy combined, we had a lovely day revealing the inner goddess in these beauties!

I was delighted when Aline from alines closet asked if I would pair up with her to photograph her line of clothing for her website and do an editorial style shoot!
