Addison Salsman

I recently had the pleasure of traveling to Evergreen, Alabama to photograph Addison's 1st Birthday. Addison is adorable in every way. I don't think Addison ever realized what exactly I was doing but, I still got some great shots.  Here is a teaser for now. Enjoy.

Africa....

Ok. So I know I haven't been a faithful blogger the past few weeks, and I have let Nick down terribly. But, I have a GREAT reason. I was away in Africa. I had the time of my life. As most of you know I went about 2 weeks ago with my church. We were all so excited to get there, and when we did, of course...we didnt want to come back. We had the time of our lives. As expected the plane ride was awful, the food was horrid, Germans hate us, and the list goes on. But I wanted to post a photo from my trip. Here is a preview. Enjoy!!

The Making:

The Result:

Rain, Rain, GO AWAY!!!

I had the pleasure of second shooting a wedding several weeks back with Nick Drollette. This wedding took us to The Old Meri Weather House in Lapine, Alabama. Ashley and Austin shared in this wonderful day together despite the down pour of rain 30 minutes before the Ceremony. Ashley Handled it surprisingly well. Thanks for letting us be apart of your special day. It was truly and honor.

A Rose in the City

I had the pleasure of photographing Amanda "Rose" Chavers awhile back. We spent the afternoon downtown Montgomery, and had a blast. Amanda is knew exactly what she wanted. She knew how to work the camera. I got so many great shots, its hard to pick favorites. Enjoy!

I know, I know...

I haven't blogged in ages. I have offically failed my fellow bloggers. It has been a terribly long past to weeks. I have not only been super busy going round and round shooting photos, but May 7th, 2009, my dear Great Grandmother, Catharine Lousie passed away. Between working, and hospital visits, a funeral, and traveling, I am worn out. I promise I have tons of photos sessions I need to blog about, and I will do so very soon. ;)

Ethan Harris

Ok! SO I know these are long over due. I have the chance to photograph little Ethan Harris about 2 weeks ago. We went to  Southern Homes and Gardens on a Friday morning, and prayed the rain away. The skies were cloudy, wind was blowing, but we managed to get some photos. Ethan is a momma's boy. Defineintly not the type that wanted to be photographed. But we manged to get some shots. These are just a few of my fave black and whites. Enjoy!!

Train Tracks...

About 2 weeks ago, I had the privlege of helping out a friend for a photography piece he was working on. He is entering the a photo in a competition, and wanted something unqiue and different. Of course he chose a photo of just Morgan, but we couldnt get away with out a couple photos of me and Morgan!! Below are some images that Jonny took from his shoot. Enjoy!!!

I add lots of my favorite images from sessions and weddings, and tag my clients so that they can share with others. Of course there are those candid status updates, and personal photo uploads of mine..but I welcome new friends!!! Search my name: Evan Garrett Cooper

A couple more..

In my Earlier post, I uploaded some photos from a recent shoot with Ben and Terra this past weekend. While sitting to edit some the rest of their photos, I found a few that I felt were worthy of posting. Enjoy!!

Rain Boots and Mud Puddles

Today Addy Grace and I decided we wanted to play in the rain....so we did just that. Addy sported her Red Ladybug Rain Boots, and we kicked and jumped in every mud puddle we could find. I got a little snap happy with my camera, and didnt realize how wet she actually got...her rain boots were full of water. All in all we had a blast...she didn't want to go back inside. Here are a couple shots from our adventure...ENJOY!!!

Ben and Terra

Today I had the pleasure of shooting some photos for Ben and Terra Russell. They hadnt had photos made together since their engagement pictures, and they have been married several years. I prayed and prayed for the weather to hold off, and it did. I was thrilled. I loved their photos, and was thrilled with the results. Ben and Terra were great to work with and were up for anything. My favorite part of our adventureous day, was when Terra decided to leave their car unlocked, with car keys, her purse, her cell phone, and her iPod all laying in the front seat. That screams someone steal my car... It made my day. Enjoy!!!

Rain!! Rain!! GO AWAY!!

Its been a while since I have last blogged. Scarlett Lillian inspires me to blog more than I should. This week has been SUPER BUSY. I have 3 photo shoots this week, and a weekend full of activities. Bad News is, Rich Thomas told me is was going to rain the rest of the week. I am praying the rain away. I am pretty excited about Shooting Becca's Senior Photos this week. Becca is a great friend of mine and has such a bubbly and free spirit. I think her photos will turn out great. 

Ben are Terra are just a few more photos I have the honors of shooting this week. The Russells are family friends of ours and have known a very long time. Ben and Terra have a couple of chnages they are about to embark on in life, and have asked me to shoot some updated photos of them. Terra told me they havent had photos made since before they got married. I think they have been married a couple of years now. :/

I am most excited about shooting Eathan Harris' 2 year old Potraits. My grandmother recently referred Eathans Parents to me, and I am honored I was chosen to shoot these special images. 

I will try my hardest to blog these images as soon as I have them edited. Pray the rain away for me this week. 

Amanda Helton

Amanda Helton is a dear friend of mine, and when she asked If I would do her senior pictures, I was more than happy to say yes. She came down from Birmingham this past Saturday and we had a great time Downtown Montgomery shooting her photos. Amanda was a joy to work with and had a great spirit out in the heat!! Here are a few of the images from her shoot. Enjoy!!!

Facebook Friends..

I had the privaledge of meeting, Nick Drollette, an incredibly talented young photographer the other day....I recently recieved a friend request on Facebook, from a guy that I had never met. We messaged back and forth a few times,  had some conversations about photography, I commented all his amazing photos, joined his photography group, visited his website,  so we decided to meet. 

Meeting Nick, honestly was like a answer to prayer. We shared Ideas, visions, and talked like we were industry professionals!!! As most of you may know, I have been working with another Photographer here in town and I love every minute of it, but meeting Nick, who is my age, has the same intrest and passions as me, has opened up doors, oppurtunities, and a knowledge that I would have never known if I hadn't met Nick. He has an incredible talent and has a tremendous future ahead of him. Nick and I have a couple of projects in the works, and I am thrilled to get the chance to work with him. He has dreams, ideas, goals, he is driven, and passionate. It was a blessing meeting Nick, and I look foward to not only working together, but seeing where the Lord takes him in the near furture. 

Be sure and visit Nick Drollette.....

Extreme Home Makeover

Its been awhile since I have last blogged. I know the whole blogging deal is a daily basis, and I try!! Really!! But I wanted to share my recent experience with you. I had the privalege of being a VIP this weekend at Aronov's Extreme Home Makeover Site. ABC, Ty Pennington and the whole gang were there. It was crazy. ABC and ARONOV chose the Jordan Family who live on the South Side of Montgomery, in the South Lawn Community. Being there not only to see what progress was being made on the home, but to get to see the reaction from the Jordan Family as we all yelled,  "MOVE THAT BUS!!!" The Jordan Family was truly deserving, and have been blessed beyond beliefs. I have posted a few photos to share the oppurtunity with you guys!! I took around 700 photos the whole weekend. I hope you enjoy!!
