Abernathy Photographics Blog bio picture

Hi! And welcome to my brand new blog!!

My name is Becky Abernathy and I'm a contemporary children's photographer here in Birmingham, AL. As you scroll down through the blog, you'll see sneak peeks from different sessions, get an inside scoop of what's happening with AP, and even get a glimpse into my own life outside of your lives. Here I will also post any upcoming specials, as well as feature certain "Becky favorite finds" for your child/session/family. Please bookmark the blog, visit often, and feel free to leave a comment. I'd love to hear from you! Thank you again for stopping by! ~Becky

Some BIZness to take care of….

Alright…have a few announcements to make. Please dont skip over ANY of this, or you’re missing out big time. (There..I put the fear of AP in ya)! HA

So…first off.  I will be having my first EVER MATILDA JANE trunk show this month and I am SOOOO excited?  Never heard of Matilda Jane? I really feel for ya! No really, by far some of the most unique and creative clothes out there. Their fabrics, layers, designs…they are just TO DIE FOR.  Not to mention…they are a photographer’s dream! They photograph beautifully and if I were to host any show…THIS would be it.  Check out their site www.matildajaneclothing.com and their blog www.matildajaneblog.com.  They should have sneak peaks of the new 2010 spring line soon. BUT…dont settle on that…you’ve GOT to come see them for yourself.  Come mingle and go through the clothes yourself! You will not regret it, and you’ll definitely have the best dressed kids in your neighborhood.  The majority of their stuff is girl’s clothing, but they have some awesome new stuff for boys and something for MOMMY too! So…take a night off away from the kids, and join us! I’ll have drinks, finger food, AND PRIZES! You heard me!!

WHEN:  MONDAY, Feb 22nd  5:30-8:00Pm  (maybe even later if we get crazy enough)

LOCATION:  TBA  - I’m actually working on getting a cool place that’s pretty central and where no one’s house has to be raided.

PRIZES:  EVERY purchase will be entered for a drawing to win a FREE 45min minisession resulting in up to 20 images on CD! Can you say AWESOME!! (one outfit from your shoot has to be MJ!)  Wait…that’s not all! For every friend you bring with you, you will be entered into a drawing for a MJ item on ME! Yes…that means the more friends you bring, the better your chances are to walk out with an awesome piece for free!

**if you’re not on my current client list, but are interested in coming, just send me an email using the link above**

Ok…moving on!  A couple weeks ago…I had the opportunity to work on shoot with Alabama Baby Magazine for an article in this month’s issue. I posted a contest on FACEBOOK regarding this article b/c I was soo excited that my pictures would actually be in print!! In a real magazine!! :-)  Anyway, i was in a hurry when I posted it, and obviously did not think it through enough (being so pooped from that day and all)…b/c I had someone call me out on it shortly afterwards. So, all I have to say is, if you want to enter the easiest contest on the planet for a FREE session, go to facebook NOW and become a fan of Abernathy Photographics on Facebook, scroll to the post from Jan 27, and enter. When you get there, you’ll see exactly what I mean. :-)  Ps. this contest will close tomorrow night at midnight (2/2/10)

And speaking of Facebook…if you’re not a FAN of our page…RUN…dont walk…and become a fan right now.  In the month of February, I will be posting giveaways weekly for one lucky winner.  These items will hopefully put a spotlight on a particular item/product/vendor/boutique…which hopefully in turn will be a great resource for you.  And did we mention, you’ll walk away with some cool stuff.  So…RECAP! Become a fan, and when the post of the week comes up…just follow the directions to be entered to win for that week.  You can enter every week, but only once a week! Tell your friends and good luck!!

Look for this weeks’ prize giveaway to be posted TOMORROW morning!!  Everyone have a blessed Monday! I’m outta here!

A baby no more…

This little guy has grown into this fabulous, full of energy, curly-headed, toddler that is now TALKING!! How does that happen??? Someone please tell me!

Their family is so beautiful!

February 1, 2010 - 9:26 pm Caroline Ghetes - OMG I am LOVIN' his hair! Love that first newborn shot too!

If I said it once…I said it a million times

…I. LOVE. THIS. AGE.

Not only that…I love a kid that loves to be photographed and completely lets her guard down. She was soo fun and carefree…and CONFIDENT. For a second there, I thought she was going to tell ME what to do. LOL  no really…but she definitely knew how to work the camera and it was great to watch her enjoy being….herself.

LOVE her dress. Trying to figure out if there is a way to convince mom to let me buy it from her. (uh…totally serious here..hint hint) :-)

February 1, 2010 - 10:06 am Lauren Matson - Becky - Hey! This is definitely one of my favorite posts!! There is so much personality in these pictures!! You've definitely got skills! :)

Baby on the move….

Love the expression above! Crawling babies always try to get away from my camera, but in the back of my head I’m singing…”haha..my camera is faster than you are!!” :-)
