Burnett Photography Photo Blog bio picture

Hi, I'm Jamie, of Burnett Photography. I'm a portrait and wedding photographer in Auburn, Alabama.  This crazy little page is my blog where I'll share images from portrait sessions, weddings and the occasional random post that I wanted to share.

I can't say I'm a traditional photographer, actually I'm anything but a traditional photographer.  I love unique angles, bright colors, funny faces and touching moments.  I do take the time to create some classic posed images, but I also encourage & suggest some out of the ordinary moments as well.

Over the past several years of this business journey, I have come to realize that not everyone wants their picture taken.... So that means I have to have some pretty creative ways to get those certain family members to open up and enjoy the experience.   I can't give away my secrets, but don't be surprised if you actually have fun while being photographed.  Your inner supermodel may even step out to work it for the camera!

You can visit the website by the links above or select from posted categories.  Surf around have fun and please contact me about session availability and investment. I offer limited sessions in Alabama and Arizona.  For the best availability and travel schedule, please contact us. Bookmark this page, come back often and leave comments... I love reading them!

Jamie is a member of the Professional Photographers of America.

 

Dog on wheels…

Yep, you read that right.  I met a dog on wheels.  This post has nothing to do with my clients, weddings, or photography, just an amazing dog I met while on a walk.   Meet Rocky, the dog on wheels.  A few years ago he was injured, and his owners got him this super cool doggy wheelchair to help him get around.    I went home and came back with my camera, because he was just so darn cute!

Ashley & James >> Married!!

I had the honor of photographing Ashley & James wedding on possibly one of the hottest days of the year… Or at least one of the most humid days of the year!   Ashley and James were married at The Auburn Chapel in Auburn, AL.

Ashley and James were so much fun, and they have great families and friends who kept me laughing the whole time.    Here are a few images from their big day!

Zak - I second what Rachael said...your posts always have such a feel to them...thus meaning Auburn is fun. :) I really like #5. :)

Rachael Earl - Awww-I love the bubble shot! Auburn looks like such a cool place!

Brandy & Patrick are having a baby!

Brandy and Pat are expecting their first baby, a boy,  in the next month, and Brandy is absolutley gorgeous considering she doesn’t have too much longer before baby Ethan arrives.   She was such a trooper walking all over the woods for her maternity pictures, and Pat kept us laughing the whole time.

Thanks Pat and Brandy, I can’t wait to meet baby Ethan!

Natalie & Justin >> Married!!

Natalie and Justin were married Saturday, June 20th at Auburn’s First Baptist Church, and their reception was held at The Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art.  They are an amazing couple and made time to get images at several locations, which makes for lots of fun and some really unique pictures.  I found out that Justin’s mom is one of my blog readers, so here are a few of my favorites and hopefully hers too!

Natalie’s amazing flowers were by Stanly Sistrunk of The Flower Store in Auburn.

And a great big shout out to my good friend Amelia, who I LOVE shooting with… You are a  rockstar, you inspire me, and most of all, you’re my friend… and it was so much fun! Except the heat… I’ll pass on the heat and humidity next time!  :)   Go check her blog soon for more images and maybe even a shot of the gorilla who delivered Natalie a balloon bouquet!  Yea.. It happened, and we all had a great laugh!

Liz & Mason >> Married!

Liz and Mason were married June 6th at St. Luke’s in Columbus, GA.

I loved Liz from day one.  I wish I could show you all the hilarious images I captured, but I just don’t have enough space for all the funny things she and her wedding party did that day.  Let’s just say we all had an amazing time.  Everything was insanely beautiful, and Liz and Mason were absolutely amazing in every way.   Here are a few of my favorites from their big day!

Becka @ Studio222 - Wowza. Love that beam of light cutting straight down the middle! Smokin!

jennifer - Fab shot! The light is delicious!

Hayle & Cody >> Engaged!!

I’ll start off this engagement session with the fact that I totally bit the dust shooting with them in about.. oh… the first five minutes.  Dear Auburn Sidewalk police… please level out those sidewalks… That’s all. Thanks!

On to Hayle and Cody…

I can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard.  Cody cracked me up, I wish I would have had a notebook to write down all his one liners, because they were great.   I hear he was a little bit terrified to go on a photoshoot, but I think my fall broke the ice.  Hayle is absolutely adorable and incredibly sweet.   I literally couldn’t ask for better clients.  I have fallen in love with all my couples and enjoy each and everyone of them.  Hayle and Cody were no exception, I had so much fun and laughed until I had tears in my eyes.  I cannot wait to shoot their wedding next month!   Here are some of my favorites, from one of my favorite couples!

Becka @ Studio222 - Such a cute session JB!

Zak Schwank - Watch out for that first step, it's a doosy! :) Such a cute couple! Love Cody's smile in the last and the rocking chair photo is rockin'.

Shirley - Great job Jamie - despite your fall;-( I love the rocking chair px. What beautiful color. Cody has a twinkle in his eye - and you can see he is full of mischief. Glad you were able to capture that. Fun............Fun
