A Day in Avondale Park
Our session began in the Avondale Park, a perfect backdrop for capturing Parker’s personality. As we walked through the park, I talked with Parker about the fall baseball team he was playing on and his podcast. His enthusiasm was contagious. As a high school photographer in Birmingham, it is refreshing to see a love and passion for GOd.
From Park to Pizitz
As the sun began to set, we moved to the theater district of Birmingham, AL. The golden hour provided a magical setting at Pizitz Food Hall, where we took stunning sunset pictures. The warm hues of the evening sky mirrored Parker’s passion and commitment to his podcast. In My Room isn’t just a hobby for him; it’s a mission to connect with young listeners and guide them on their spiritual journey.
Spending the day with Parker was an inspiring experience. His dedication to baseball, his podcast, and his faith is a testament to the impact one person can have when they pursue their passions with purpose. Parker’s story is a reminder that no matter where you are in life, there’s always an opportunity to deepen your relationship with Jesus and make a positive difference in the world.
