Kathryn Bell, Photographer
Kathryn is a freelance photographer with a recent degree in art from the University of Montevallo. Her photography has led her to photograph presidential candidates and create fine arts work inspired by the classics. She fancies herself a plant lady and enjoys the challenge of keeping rare and difficult plants alive and enjoys exploring Birmingham!
Katie Doyle, Writer
Katie is a 2006 Vestavia Hills High School grad and currently a social media manager by day, freelance writer by night. You can usually find her buried in a good book or checking out Birmingham’s ever-growing food and craft beer scene.
Michelle Love, Writer
A lifelong resident of Birmingham, Michelle has loved watching her city grow and writing about the new and exciting things it has to offer. She has spent the past eight years writing about the different businesses and people that make Birmingham so unique, including artists, restaurants and political/social issues. When she isn’t writing, Michelle can be found trying out new recipes in her kitchen while listening to classic rock music or reading a horror novel. She also loves spending time with her family, her dog, Moody, and her cat, Lola.
Lauren Ustad, Photographer
Lauren lives in Birmingham with her husband, Joe, their four children, and their 2-pound Yorkie they refer to as “Boobie.” She spends her professional time posing itty bitties and chasing little munchkins. In her free time you can probably find her slaving away at their most current renovation project or building Legos with her self-proclaimed super heroes.
