  • Serves Rainsville, AL

I'm Autumn. Baker, reader, musical-lover, photographer. I love experiencing art in every form, and I'm discovering I love creating it too. For so long there has been a bubble around art, and a body guard dictating who can or can't enjoy or create it. I'm all about bending, breaking, and recreating ancient and archaic rules. There is no one saying what you can or can't create. And if there is, I'm right there with you to block out the noise. With me, you can recreate the stuff of dreams. Absolute magic.

Autumn did a wonderful job photographing our wedding. She also did our engagement photos. She is very professional but also knows how to have a good time. She is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. She was always on time and always kept in touch with any updates and what we had scheduled with her. I would recommend her if anyone is looking for a photographer. The photos came out lovely. Thank you for being apart of our special day.

Kelsey is a dream to work with. I looked through her portfolio and knew I wanted to work with her. Not only did I love the engagement shoots she has done, but it was amazing to see that she had done a lot of weddings at the venue I picked. I had her do my engagement photos & 6hrs for the wedding. She was very responsive anytime I reached out. I know wedding season is very busy, I never felt like I was left hanging. While my new husband is comfortable in-front of the camera, I was very much not. Kelsey is great at guiding and making you feel comfortable. Our engagement photos were something different from her portfolio, the arcade, and she did a phenomenal job like I knew she would. Stephanie assisted us on the day of the wedding and she was wonderful too. I provided a detailed shot list for the family portraits and she did a great job navigating the family. After dinner Kelsey was able to provide me with a sneak peek of my photos. I am so excited to see the rest of my photos!
