We’ve worked with Huntsville musician Phil Weaver quite a few times now (see: Zapatos Perdidos, Phil & Ingrid’s Portraits, and he also performed at Melanie & Jonathan’s Constitution Village wedding), and each time is awesome!

This time around we met Phil and Mary Peck at Lowe Mill for a quick afternoon session to promote a show they played recently at The Daily Brew in Decatur. One of the photos from this session was actually used on an electronic billboard in Decatur, so White Rabbit Studios (and Phil & Mary!) has officially been billboarded, y’all! :)

You know what? I’m not going to hide it — sometimes, when a person inquires with us, Ashley and I totally Facebook them to see what we can learn. I think part of the reason we do this is that we usually end up hanging out with our clients several times after their sessions/weddings, and become real life friends with them, so we like to get an idea of who we’re about to meet. I’m bringing this up because as soon as we received Kim’s inquiry about a family session, we immediately looked her up and found her website, Miss Zoot, which made us even MORE excited to work with these five.

Ashley and I are both bloggers (Ashley writes Hi-Fi Weddings and the Vertical House blog, and I have Casa de Kaloi and edit Offbeat Mama.), so we were pumped about meeting another blogger in real life. Before I go further, I need to say it’s indescribably hilarious to walk into a house that you have seen online, meet kids who you have read about and never met, and then hang out with a family that you have learned about via the Internet. Totally wacky, totally awesome, totally crazy — kind of like this family!







And just in case the still photos weren’t enough, here’s a stop motion peek of how fun this fam is!

A few weeks ago we mentioned that one of our upcoming grooms, Shay, is a magician. Well, imagine our surprise and delight when we received a phone call from another local magician, Matt Adams!

Matt is a really stellar force of magical prowess, and even let us participate in a few tricks while shooting! We had a blast hanging out with him, as you will see. Oh yeah — check out that amazing levitating magic wand a few photos down!

Graduating from high school is a gigantic milestone in the lives of many teens, and something that should definitely be documented and celebrated in every way possible! We were super intrigued when Jamie contacted us about high school senior portraits, as this was our first joint senior session together.

The four of us (we two, Jamie, and her mother) met downtown. We took a stroll around the city and picked a few spots, and the journeyed up the Parkway toward Alabama A&M, where we finished the session. I don’t think there are enough crazy positive words to describe how excited Ashley and I were when Jamie got out of the car in her blue dress–can you say “ALICE” loudly enough?

We were thrilled when we heard that Jamie loves her photos, and that they believe the session was a perfect way to encapsulate all that she is in this pivotal, wide-open period in her life. Jamie, we wish you all the best luck with your present and future endeavors.

If you have an interested teen, or ARE an interested teen, we definitely recommend a portrait session! These can’t go in the year book, but instead serve as a phenomenal way to remember your high school senior as he or she is in this transformative period of his or her life.

Ashley and I were both thrilled with Phil Weaver* contacted us about a second portrait session (you might remember the first that Ashley shot of Phil and Ingrid in February). This time, he and fellow Huntsville guitarist Emily Jones, who comprise the guitar duo Zapatos Perdidos, met us on top of Monte Sano for a delightful afternoon session.

Both Phil and Emily are active in the Huntsville community, which is something we love to see! These two were toting some pretty impressive musical equipment, and we ended up learning quite a bit about guitars during our session. The Japanese Tea House on the mountain was a perfect place to accentuate Emily’s grace and Phil’s nature.

Fun side note: we actually saw Phil a few weeks later, while he was playing guitar at Melanie and Jonathan’s wedding! We hope to see these two, either in front of our cameras or performing around town, many more times in the future!
