Welcome!

I'm Brian Mitchell: a North Alabama (Birmingham, Decatur, Huntsville, and Madison) based portrait, wedding, sports, and corporate photographer. Take some time to explore my recent work here or find me on Facebook, Twitter, or Flickr. Send me a good old fashioned email if you've got questions.

Blog

Zenfolio

As most of you probably know, I currently host all of my client proofs and as well as our Mitchell family photos at Zenfolio. They have been great over the past couple of years that I’ve been using them.

They offer several different hosting plans depending on your needs. If you are looking for somewhere to post your photos online with unlimited storage, lots of privacy controls, display options, as well as superb printing, I’d recommend checking them out.

If you do decide to sign up, feel free to use my referrer code T66-63Z-7CY for $5 off. Note that I’ll get $10 if you sign up using that code so it’s win-win!

Introducing Anders

Finally made it through my backlog of photos. These are hot off the press. Another successful family portrait shoot in the bag. Enjoy!

More photos from the QinetiQ Summer Picnic

QinetiQ 2010 Company Summer Picnic

The good folks at QinetiQ had me out to shoot their summer company picnic a few weeks ago. Though it was hot, everyone had a great time. QinetiQ really knows how to treat their employees well. The proofs of all of the photos taken at the event can be found at my proofing and ordering site at photos.brianmitchell.com. An email will be sent to QinetiQ employees with the password to the proofing pages.

Anne and Tod

For this shoot, we all headed up to the Rainbow Mountain playground one afternoon that turned out to be a bit warmer than any of us had anticipated. Despite the heat, Anne and Tod and their girls were troopers and we made some great photographs together.

Updated Pricing Page

I updated some of the information on on my pricing page. No, don’t worry, my prices didn’t go up. I just added more detail regarding the types of prints and mounting that are available.

An excerpt from the page can be found below.

Updated family portraits

Have I mentioned that I love repeat clients? Making new photos and seeing how everyone is growing up is just great. I shot this family a few weeks ago and just finished editing their portraits. Enjoy!

Special Notice

Brian Mitchell | Photography will not be accepting any new clients for the Summer. Family, work, and existing client responsibilities are my priority for right now. I shouldn’t complain, but business has been and continues to be almost too good.

Nonetheless, current clients and those who have already booked portrait sessions are good-to-go. At this time, I just can’t accept any new clients without delivering the same high-quality photography I expect out of myself.

I’ll still be posting updates and photo-teasers to the blog. So check back often or subscribe to the RSS feed or newsletter to keep up-to-date when booking opens back up towards the end of summer. Besides, no one really wants to have an outdoor portrait session in July in Alabama anyway :) .

See you in the Fall.

The Boys

I got around to taking some new portraits of these boys. I think they turned out great. Look for the results of two other family portrait photo shoots soon.

A good horse should be seldom spurred.

I took these at our campsite after a full day of fly fishing in North Carolina a few weeks ago.
