Deborah Michelle Photography Mobile Alabama Family Photographer

“Can you believe that we’ve never had professional family portraits taken?” was what Ellen, an Alabama family photographer, confessed to me. To which I responded, “let’s fix that ASAP!”

We started discussing locations for her very own family portrait session, when we settled on this quaint little park nestled in between the most beautiful oak trees away from the busyness of downtown Mobile, Alabama.

*Quick tip to all the sweet moms out there: parks provide some of the best locations for family portraits with small children. I love shooting in local parks because it allows us plenty of room to roam about & get some of that energy out! ⁣

Enjoy a few of my favorites from the Talbots family portrait session. I know you’ll fall in love with their little boy just like I did.

This kid! Absolutely precious & equally hilarious.

I just adore this sweet momma! Isn’t she gorgeous? And so loved by her two boys!

*Sometimes mom & dad need a few portraits of just them. Because, let’s be honest, the last time they probably took portraits together was on their wedding day!

Stephanie and Ryan Engaged Washingston Square Mobile Alabama

I love to travel. To see the world beyond my comfort zone here in South Alabama. In college I had the opportunity to backpack through Europe for class credit (yeah - how awesome is that?!) & last summer I cruised the ocean blue to photograph a one-of-a-kind wedding. There's just something about collecting stamps in that little passport that brings my heart to life. And I love when my couples have that same passion burning within them too.

Stephanie & Ryan are the definition of world travelers. These two have been to places like Italy, England, & Scotland just to name a few. So it was only fitting that their proposal take place on one of their overseas adventures. In April, Ryan asked Stephanie to be his wife. She said YES! And now they are planning their very own wedding day for spring of 2018.
