Rooted in Meaning

I’m obsessed with golden hour magic, connecting people and feeling alive behind the camera. I take time to really see you and create an experience where you are heard, served and documented in all your beauty, in each and every season.

I photograph a little of everything -- families, proposals, newborns, seniors and even small brands! Every phase of life deserves to be preserved. 

I'm Eleanor, a Birmingham portrait photographer.

Capturing families, engagements, proposals, newborns and all of your most special moments.

It’s Your Shining Moment

We needed some instruction for posing but also wanted candid photos and she executed perfectly.

She captures who a person is beautifully and authentically.

Yet again, you perfectly captured the absolute joy we have. I will cherish these forever.

Frequently
Asked

Questions

How do I prep my kids for a session?

Encourage them to just play and have fun! Kids enjoy sessions more when they can be playful. Don’t worry – we'll get the smiles – but what you really want is them in their element. And chocolate bribes work too .

How many outfits can I wear at my session?

As many as we can fit in our session time!

How do I choose my outfits?

Once you book a session, I send my style guide with all my tips and tricks for necklines, fabrics and patterns.

How do I select my location?

I send a questionnaire right after you book to help guide our location choice. I'll send location suggestions and tailor them to your story and personality.

Do you photograph sessions on weekends?

Sessions are only available on weekdays, as weekends are reserved for weddings.
