Bob & Lauren Wedding Day




Bob and Lauren are such a cool couple! They came up from Florida to elope for their wedding day so they could really get away and spend time just the two of them for their special day! How cool is that?!?! We started off meeting up with them at the Renaissance hotel in downtown Nashville. Where we spent some time getting some cool shots in the lobby before heading over to Centennial Park for the private ceremony in the sunken garden. The weather was beautiful and warm and we had a great time together with them. 

Congratulations!!!! Thanks for allowing us to be apart of your day!

Paula and Greg - Wedding Day slideshow






Paula and Greg, thank you so much for allowing us to be apart of your wedding day! You guys are an amazing and really fun couple. We love your sense of humor and hanging out with you guys.

The wedding was held at Westminster Presbyterian Church on West End here in Nashville, TN. Then we went downtown to the Country Music Hall of Fame for the reception. It was a lot of fun and the cakes of course were incredible! Thanks to Susie from Susie's Sweets! Man I wish I could have another brownie! Such good parting gifts!!!

Can't wait to start designing the album for you all. Hopefully if your real nice we will get to up for dinner real soon!! :-) Thanks again and Congratulations!!!!

Owen B - 18 Month Session

Lori and I always love working with kiddo's. However we are particularly partial to Owen since he is one of our Bride's little one. We are so lucky to have met and became friends with Tiffiny and Ross. They are incredible people and have such a sweet and loving boy. Owen has been a mover and a shaker since he turned one and it has been fun watching him grow. Can't wait to see what types of pics we get in the future!! He is one of a kind! Thanks so much for letting us photograph your beautiful child! My favorite is when he is walking back around the tree. He has such a great big smile on his face like "here I am!". Gotta love that. :-)

Lauren - Bridal Portrait Session









We had an amazing time with Lauren and her Mom for her Bridal Portrait. We started the day at Carnton Plantation in Franlin, TN where we took full advantage of the incredible day and the beautiful location. Lauren is so cool and laid back more the willing to do and try anything. It is alway fun to have someone adventurous to photograph :-).

Then we ended the day by going out to the Factory for a few shots and of course some of Brian's favorites of Lauren wearing his St.Louis Cardinals hat. She somehow stole that from him without him noticing. Good work Lauren!! I will know who to call when I want to be sneaky. Here are a couple of my favorites. Let me know what you think.

Bryan - Senior Sports Montage


Bryan D - 2011 Senior Sports Montage. This was a great way to show off Bryan's talents. Thanks Bryan for allowing me to be apart of your Senior year! Your an incredible athlete and very gifted young man. Good luck in all you do!!

Information on the print: I went to 1 football game, 3 basketball and 3 baseball for the images in this print. Plus Bryan came to the studio for the main shot and the other helmet shot (upper right). It was really a lot of fun. None of the balls or action moves were faked or photoshop'd. They are all original images with actual features. If anyone has other questions please send me a message. Thanks!

Paula and Greg Wedding Day - Sneek Peak






Paula and Greg thanks so much for allowing me and my crew (Lori and Jamie) to come and be apart of your wedding day!! It turned out to be such a fun day today even with the weather being funny for this time of year. We had so many really great people to make it a really wonderful night with your Mom making the best wedding cake and Nita taking care of the planning and details as well as just everyone involved really contributing to make it a wonderful day for both of you.

I know your flight is early tomorrow but wanted you to have something to see before flying off to St Lucia. I hope you have a wonderful honeymoon and Lori and I will be in touch when you get back in town. Get some rest and enjoy the trip, you deserve it!!! Thanks so much!!

Collage Design - Juggling pictures for a great layout


First off Thanks Eric and Maria for letting me run with my idea of the juggling session for our After Wedding Session. It was great to be able to go out and put together a really cool shoot and really bring out their personalities as a couple and then design this collage for Eric's Birthday. Way to go Maria for coming up with the surprise of doing the collage for Eric. As many of you know I do collages for Seniors, Children and Baby Sessions but rarely for a hobby. Once we got to talking about it I knew I would really enjoy creating a unique layout and custom design for Eric to enjoy for years to come. This makes the photographs look so much better than how they stand on their own. Not bragging on my work...well maybe a little but really just how the project was cool to conceptualize and then put together. We started off in the studio for a series of shot with the 2 of them and then Eric juggling. We then went downtown just a few minutes from the studio as the sun was setting. Stopped off at Printers Alley for a few minutes and get some cool pictures. We even had a guy ask Eric to light his cigarette with one of his juggling torches. Funny stuff unless he set his hair on fire but it all worked out. :-)

Thanks guys!!!! I am so happy we were able to do it and I am glad you love the finished Art piece.

Avery - 2 yr Session Sneak Peek**





Here are some great pictures of a 2 yr Session we did last week. We had a great time reconnecting with Avery's Mom Shannon one of our Brides from a few years ago. It is so great to be apart of the process from when people start their lives as a family and then grow that family with children and pets.

Here are a few samples to share with you before we meet up this week! Thanks so much for choosing us and allowing Lori and I to spend time with you and sweet Avery!!
