Keep this in mind, everyone!

I feel like this is an appropriate quote of the day. I am actually dedicating this quote to a close friend of mines.

March Madness (part one)

I love the month of March for many reasons such as waving winter goodbye and saying hello to the spring (even though the winter has some spring like weather, weird.) Goodbye to the one hour extra for sleep (I need it back...NOW) and hello one hour less of sleep. I am also saying hello to Kaylen's new sport of lacrosse and I have to say, I am loving being a lacrosse mom. It is a great joy watching her play and it is only going to get better.
I am definitely saying hello MARCH MADNESS, if you do not know, I love me some basketball especially when I was younger that was one of four sports I kicked butt in. The month of March is also has been a breaking point for my photography. I remember frankly that I said I will never do a wedding in my career, I rather be a second shooter for someone.. Well guess what! That has changed. My style changed and my sessions are changing. I am learning being more personal with my clients will help me with my new endeavors. I have to admit, I am working with a wonderful planner. (STAY TUNED .. THIS CHICA IS GETTING CERTIFICATED AS A WEDDING AND EVENT PLANNER.. ALSO SHE IS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A WEBSITE AND BLOG.. I will help her of course. Why wouldn't I? She helped me. Your blessings always come back to you in threes. March has brought me some pain and misery which I need to be strong and pray and think positive. It also has me thinking about what I need for my business as well as my professional career as an occupational therapist.. Decisions.. Decisions. One thing, I do have to announce will be price changes... Please stay tuned for Part 2 of March Madness for Tosha Gaines Photography...

Until Next Time,

St. Patty Day Engagement Session

Some of you may have known that six weeks ago, I broken my hand. I am finally in a brace but I have not shoot outside for a session for a long time since my accident. For this session, I was using the luck of the Irish hoping that my hand will not give me any kind of trouble. Luckily, I had to remove the brace once due to the fact it was so freaking hot and it was starting to sweat and itch (yuck!)

Let me introduce this lovely and dressed for St. Patty Day Couple: David and Tammy!!!


Aren't they a cute couple. They were brave enough to brace the heat and the walk at Ross Bridge (Hoover, Ala) to capture some wonderful moments. I also was able to capture a few family shots with the kiddos (fun, fun, fun).

On a side note, The Johnson family are like kin folks to me (did I go there with the southern slang, I surely did!). I am so happy that I will part of their special day..

Yeah, I am shocked too .. me .. Tosha.. Weddings.. Photographer.. the Main one.. I must be moving on up and people actually think I am good.. Who would have thought?

Music+Ducky=Therapeutic (relaxation of the soul)

It has been a long time since I have posted on my blog. I am happy to return the world of blogging especially with a new blog design. Oh well enough of me, lets move on..

I had an opportunity to photograph a special lady who also dedicated her time to my daughter's school (Alabama Waldorf School) especially during the Annual Holiday Faire. The started session kinda started late due to the fact of scheduling conflicts, but she was able to entertain us with a wonderful musical selection.. Here is a sample..




Well, this shoot was schedule the day before her surgery. Ducky was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer and was getting her left tata removed. She totally rocked the session with her guitar. Here are some sneak peeks....



Please keep Ducky and her family your prayers and blessings. Some one is always affected one point of their lives with breast cancer. Please remember, you check yourself regularly and get a yearly mammogram.
