Master Zachary

Last summer we got to photograph Zachary (sort of). When Mitzi was pregnant with him, she and Paul came in for PG photographs. It was even more fun to photograph Zach this time... just ask Paul.
































How tiny and frail he seems at 2½ weeks! We loved how he snuggled into Mitzi and slept... her warmth calmed him and drew him into her. She just glows when Zach is in her arms.



















They will look back many years from now to remember just how small he really was.

Beth and Stacey - October 20th

We got to share Beth and Stacey's wedding day with them last Saturday. They got their "dream day" for their wedding! Laurelwood on Signal Mountain was in its fall glory! After several days of cloudy, generally gloomy weather, the sun shone through and a beautiful Tennessee day unfurled. Even the guys didn't mind wearing their tuxes in the clear and cool breeze!



























Beth waits patiently on her dad's arm to go down the aisle. Nothing seemed to phase her! She didn't STOP smiling!



















...and girls will be girls!















We wish them well in their life together...
May they always be as happy as they are today!

Chris and Louise's Newest Treasure

"I'm in charge here!"



There is nothing like the love of a mother for her son!

Having known Louise and Chris for a long time now, it came as no surprise when I saw how proud she is of the new addition to their family. Brown is now three months old and as alert as he is, I'm sure he will be running the household before long. We hear that neither his big sister nor his brother can leave him alone. He's so cute and outgoing, that's no surprise.

"Can't get enough of your love, Baby!"

Kendall and Kane were married at Little Brown Church last Saturday with their friends and families as witness. Their reception was held at Laurelwood Farm . It was the kind of day that brides dream of - clear and bright with not a cloud in a brilliant blue autumn sky.

They are SO in love and they show it to the world. I hope they always look at each other the way I see them look at each other now. We loved sharing their special day and truly loved working with them and their families.

Prescription for Love...

I was so lucky to spend time with Dr. Emily and Dr. Jonathan on their wedding day. These two pharmacists had a great celebration, and I never caught them without a beaming smile!


Time for the "dippy kiss", as they called it!



Pretty cool, calm, and collected for a bride!



Perfect ending to a perfect day!

Serene Lindsay

What a free thinker she is! She keeps all of on our toes. Great and creative things are in her future!

I love her spunk!

( This style is Sepia with a bit of color... It gives the portrait an old look.)

Maeve in our portrait garden

I met Maeve yesterday... I don't usually photograph little ones outdoors, but she was a trooper and quite precocious.



Check her out!

Maren and her Big Brothers

I never realized until recently just how beautiful a very young baby can be...

The boys are going to notice a few changes around the house!

She's beautiful!

McKinley's first portraits

Today Amanda brought McKinley for her first portraits... She's very alert and sassy to just be six weeks old.










Although she probably wasn't
"ready for her close-up",
we talked Amanda into getting in a few.









She let us use her as our prop...
























Ultimately, they were both great, if worn out.

Holly's senior portraits

We just photographed Holly's senior portraits. She has grown beautiful and athletic, and did I say tall? It's been a very long time since I photographed her first baby pictures.

Happy Birthday Gus!

Today we got reacquainted with Gus... and
boy, has he grown since the last time we saw him.

He was a very busy boy for his 1st birthday pictures

...and he was great!

Home from TPPA

We've just returned from our annual Tennessee Professional Photographers Association conference. We love seeing all of our buddies, as well as learning from and spending time with some of the premiere photographers in the WORLD.

What a great time! ...and then there was that T O G A thing!


Were in the process now of actually changing over to the new website(s). Lindsey's input convinced us to use two different sites for our wedding and our portraits. It's going to be lots of work, but hopefully the wedding side will be complete by the time the fall Premiere Bridal Show arrives... Sunday, September 9th.

Website changes coming!

After much agonizing we're finally moving ahead in our quest to update our website!

We've chosen two BluDomain sites... to be linked together as our "Weddings" site and our "Portraits" site.

The move should bring us much more into the mainstream of current website design.

You're gonna love it!

We met the most wonderful couple today: Joseph and Judy Catanese.

They are so in love and it shows after 41 years.

Way to go!
