Melissa and Cameron

Wow! Do they ever know how to throw a wedding! It was obvious how much care and effort had gone into the planning for the day! All the details had been thought out! The I's had been dotted and the T's crossed.






The day turned out spectacular! The weather on Signal Mountain could not have been any more beautiful!






















Both families have long looked forward to this fabulous day. Enveloped by the love of family and friends, Melissa and Cameron spoke their personal vows to each other and began their life together.

...and then they threw the party of the year!

Debbie's Boyz

I love my clients! Most of them come from word of mouth information. She and Todd are tight friends with Sherry and Lou and their family. Debbie called to schedule photography after seeing Sherry's photographs.



Debbie surely will never gain weight! She has a lot of "keepin' up" to do with her one year old twins, Jaden and Trent.

My friend Farrell

My dear friend Farrell (Master Engineer, Master Furniture maker, Magic Photographer, dear father figure to all, aspiring wood carver) agreed to sit for me for my personal work.

Watching him look into the wood in his hands and carve away the chaff was mesmerizing.

He not only sculpts abstract, flowing pieces from Juniper and Mesquite, he is carving an entire series of crosses for a personal project.

Which one is YOUR favorite?

Amelia Claire

She is SO tiny... and only two weeks old. And alert! The gown she wore was the same one that her big sisters had worn for their first portraits.



Her sweet, small world is all moans, wheezes, outcries, sleep and snuggles... Mmmm!






Beautiful baby she is!

Zoe

Just a few photographs from Zoe's Christening portraits...

I can't wait for Teresa to see all of them!

Greg receives his Master of Photography degree

Wahoo!!!

The Professional Photographers of America has conferred the Master of Photography degree to Greg! I didn't get started on it until after Jeannie and I got married. (Thank-you Jeannie for all your love, help, patience, and support!)

Ella and Emory

[ I can't believe how fast time is flying, as we approach Christmas this year! It seems only a moment ago that I made the last post to our blog. How could it have been on October 27th? ]
























Kelly brought Ella and Baby Emory to us today... and what fun we had! Ella quickly became Jeannie's best buddy and was all smiles and didn't seem to stop talking the whole time we photographed her little sister.




They're just angelic... and these are only a few of the fantastic photographs we caught!

Sometimes things just work out...

I have been planning to photograph Brian and LaurelAnne for months. So, we confidently scheduled the photography to coincide with the leaf change and of course when the day approached to photograph, the weather turned sour. I called her and on the spur of the moment she was able to change her plans to take advantage of a gorgeous afternoon, instead of 100% predicted rain. Yay for us!




The kids had a great time at the farm, playing in the water and playing with the animals. I got great portraits of them.














AnneG has wanted a portrait for her home that captures her beautiful children, as well as honoring her family's farm heritage. She is going to LOVE them. I can't wait for her to see them all...

Greg and Kristin

Who authorized the COLD weather to move in the day before Kristin's and Greg's wedding? The foothills of the Smokies on the banks of the Ocoee River were more than a bit chilly!










The weather was chilly, but the friendships and love warmed everyone. Kristin just snuggled closer. The portable heaters (Smart!) and the bonfire drew their guests like moths to flames, and the hand warmers were big hits.

How appropriate that they headed to warm Key West (Mmmmm...) for their Honeymoon!

Meredith and Matt's Wedding Day

It's been a while since we photographed at Laurelwood. Larry Bannier, the owner, really does it right! ...And the weather was spectacular!













































Matt and Meredith are enveloped in the love of their families. Matt really got it right when he moved south for a life changing experience, going to work as a river guide on the French Broad River, meeting Meredith, falling in love, and marrying her.

Meredith was stunning, and perhaps would be more comfortable in the raft on the river, frantically paddling through the whitewater. However, she was up to the pomp and the celebration. ... and the smile in her eyes says it all!
