Beauty

Rachael was simply beautiful! Scaritt Bennett is such a great location in Nashville for portraits.









Saturday afternoon with Baby Grace





Today we had our second session with Grace for her 6 month pictures. She is sooo sweet. I love working with her and her family. We had her Grandparents there today and had a lot of fun getting to know each other and playing with Grace. I am looking forward to meeting everyone for our Thanksgiving family session. It will be a fun day spending time with the entire family. 

Friday night with JB & Dette Sallee

Lori and I decided to be apart of the "I shoot people" tour. We had a great time meeting and hanging out with JB and Dette Sallee of Sallee Photography. They are an amazing couple and we shared many similarities and it was just great to be able to talk and hangout with people who understand your type of work and the type of issue's you deal with on a daily basis. 

Lori and I hope to be able to meet up with them again at Imaging USA in Phoenix and get together again for dinner and hang out some more. What a great mini-seminar right before TNPPA's this weekend. Looking forward to trying some of the great new things we learned and shared tonight. 

Thanks guys you were awesome to hang out with and it was cool getting to know you both!!!

Crazy Friday!!!!






Today we were filled with great stuff to do. We started this morning at one of the clinics for one of our health care clients, doing promo material photos and clinic marketing spots. 
We then met with one of our friends for a Senior session. Brian and his mom Pam came over to the studio and we were able to do a partial session for his yearbook today and will do the other half in the fall. When the temp is cooler and the leaves change and we don't have a deadline to work within. We also went over to the park and gets some shots around the Parthenon. Centennial Park is such a staple of Nashville, I love it and people love to have their pictures taken there. 
Finally we ended the evening with a great party for one of Nashville's finest photographers. Russ had his birthday today. I will not tell how old he is but lets just say he is old enough to have taught me almost everything I know about great light and a way to see things and the world around you differently. He is an incredible guy and we love hanging out with him and Johnetta. They are great people. Oh and most importantly about Russ he coined the phrase "make something out of nothing" long before anyone in the industry even thought about it  or how to MacGyver through a shoot. Here's to your Russ!!!! You are awesome!!!!

Here are a few of Brian's pics....
