Patrick McGough, Photographer
Born and raised in Mountain Brook, Patrick has had a passion for photography from when he bought his first cardboard box camera in a flea market at the age of 12. That passion has taken him all over the South and abroad on many assignments and projects. Every shoot creates an opportunity to meet new people and to explore ideas and locations. Whether shooting businesses, families, or individuals, he strives to capture the most fun, genuine and unique images for his clients.
Tracey Rector, Writer
Tracey is a freelance writer who has called Mountain Brook home since 2001. She and her husband are the parents of three responsible adult children. She loves singing silly songs to her two grandchildren, cooking for family and friends, and following college sports. She wishes she loved early mornings and exercise, but she’d much rather sleep in after staying up late to finish a good book.
