Mobile, Alabama from my perspective

Have you ever felt like there was something you just had to do? What about this...Have you ever had an idea about something and forgot to write it down and couldn't remember it later. If you have never...then you're not human.

I had just just gotten off of work one night when I'd decided to drive around Mobile. I originally went looking at picture frames when I looked up in the sky and there wasn't a cloud in site. The temp was 74 degrees. There was a slight breeze coming up from the gulf. The night was beautiful...I had to pull out old faithful and get some shots of Mobile.

I drove for a while until I found the perfect spot. Now, the exact location is my little secret. "I know something I won't tell, I won't tell, I won't tell!" How many of you remember that from our cartoon days?

I love this shot...I hope you enjoy it too.

She's growing and I can't slow her down!

Wow, my little girl is now "officially" a little lady. Today is her 13th birthday. She is so beautiful. God showed up the day she was born and showed out. This was one blessing I was definitely ready and willing to receive.

Adrienne and I missed our college homecoming today. Why you ask? How often do you turn 13? Our daughter deserved our attention this weekend. So we're giving it to her with no regrets.

Here are a few shots we took a few days ago. I wanted to give another update on her recovery. For those of you that don't know, she had spinal surgery 2 months ago. Looking at her now, you would never have known.

Congratulations sweetheart!! Always remember, Daddy loves you...a lot!!! Mom loves you too...lol. She looks so happy.

1 point 3 million dollar home

My reporter and I were "Covering our Story" (wink wink) when we ran upon some homes for sale. We were invited in and they treated us like royalty. The ladies were so nice...especially Skeeter Diehl with LLB&B, Inc. Real Estate. She was the realtor. The only shot I have of her listing is the stair case. It was beautiful also but I didn't know at the time I could take pictures...I called myself sneaking a shot to show my wife. The home below was also a listing but was a few blocks away. 1.3 million +.

These shots I took with my "IPHONE"!!! Everyone knows that if you haven't bought an IPHONE, you may as well be using a can and some string. (laughing) Aren't these shots cool. Shots 3 & 4 that look like the living room, are actually the master BR. It kind of favors my room...right! The homes were incredible and now were working on establishing a relationship so TLJ can photograph all of their listings. LET'S DO IT!!!

The Porters

I'm 39 yrs. old. What do I look like running around, acting like I'm 15 again. That's just silly!! At least that's what I thought and I'm sure a lot of you think the same thing...except Shaun & Lawrence.

We had so much fun on this photo shoot. It had been put off for I don't know how long. Our schedules for some reason could never match. I blame it all on Shawn...she agreed or did she disagree? I think she said, and I quote, "Tim, you are always right." It was something like that...anyway...They all came out to the Botanical Gardens. We had a ball!! The kids (Melonye, Caton & Omari) were wonderful. I'm so proud of her, she has grown up to be a beautiful young lady and has found her soul mate. Doesn't it show in the picts? She is so blessed.

Enjoy...

My Wife's Birthday Surprise 8-17-08 (She said I did Good!)

There are a few things I'm sure about. One of them is "I'm sure I'm in Love with my Wife!"

August 17Th was her birthday and I've been working on a very special project for a couple of months now. You're talking about being surprised...well that was the plan anyway. I needed the assistance of some people and it got out. Was I upset...YES I WAS!!!! But, I had to adjust. I couldn't allow that to RUIN what I'd worked so long and hard for.

Her reaction was exactly what I'd expected. She couldn't hold back the tears. I invited some of the people I photographed to come and watch the premier. My sister-in-law was crying, my mother was crying my sister was crying and I even teared up a bit watching them. I also think my cousin Donnie was crying...and he is a Marine.

The shots of the kids are our kids. She was really shocked when she saw those. Our oldest daughter was told by her doctors she wouldn't be able to start school until 2 weeks in. By the Glory of God, she was there the first day of school. It was awesome just to see her standing in the picture. Our youngest is now in big kids school as she says.

Her second gift included some subliminal shots throughout the show. She figured it out while watching of course. Everyone else just wondered why the shots were there. Before the show ended, I had to sneak out to grab the basket filled with the items in the show. They were a piece of granite, some hard wood and some square tiles. Now, I know you know what the second gift is. We're about to start construction on remodeling our home. She was outdone then, totally caught off guard. Her third gift was dinner at Bonefish Grill...which I might add was FANTASTIC! Then later I got my thank you gift. (smiling ;')

Here is the slide show that has gotten me a lifetime "Get Out of Jail Free Card" membership.

Fellas, if you want to do this for your wife...you better call me.

First Day of School

Here are a few shots of my kids getting ready for school. Today is the first day and they dreaded this day. Not because of it being the first day but because they knew Dad was taking pictures. C'mon, they're my kids! They should know by now how I am. Also, today is my baby girls first day in big kids school. Don't worry, I haven't cried.........yet. (Laughing)

Gulf Coast Tropics

Here in Mobile, we're blessed to have a Semi-Pro Women's Basketball Team. Here are a few shots I took for the Championship Tournament coming up this weekend. I'm told they have a fantastic chance at winning the Championship. I'll post some game picks next week.
