Senior Portraits | Crystal

Talk about Spunk! I really enjoyed the enthusiasm Crystal brought to this portrait shoot. We had such a beautiful background at the Kilpatrick Springs Farm in Sweetwater Tn, but there were the sharpest little nettles scattered everywhere! I mean these were seriously dangerous. My hand was throbbing hours afterward from touching just one of them. But Crystal braved the ground and looked absolutely beautiful for the photos!

Senior Portraits: Taylor

We headed out to Guthrie Pumpkin Farms for Taylor's senior photos. Love the location and the Guthries are really wonderful people!
Taylor is a highschool Cheerleader and all smiles, it was really a fun shoot. She looked great, and was able to keep from being distracted at the pumpkin farm by all the kids running around, shouting & laughing behind me! Man I wish I had some audio from all the commotion : )

Connecticut Portraits: Rowlands Family

The day after steve and I arrived in Connecticut, I met up with the Rowlands for their portrait session. I had a great time - this place was just beautiful - I have plans to return the next time we're in the area and hike some of the trails. This was a super cool covered bridge in connecticut, located at the Southford Falls State Park. Props to the Rowlands for choosing such a great place for a photo-shoot! Why? Because back handsprings are fun! that's why, and if anyone was wondering how it's done, you now have a step-by-step way to practice

Outer Banks, NC Wedding - Kip & Jeremy

I think everyone was relieved when Hurricane Earl decided to stay away from the beaches in North Carolina. Kip and Jeremy's wedding date was just three days after the storm passed! You would have never know it though, the weather was perfect for their special day! I'm still working on the photos, but wanted to post several because I just couldn't wait : ) Congratulations Kip and Jeremy!

Model Photo-Shoot: Erica

Erica is a tattoo model that I met a while back. She's gradually adding to her sleeve and works very closely with a tattoo artist to create some really rockin tattoos. Check out these shots from her recent photo-shoot.

Mantooth Wedding

Kip & Jeremy

I had so much fun making these photos! Kip and Jeremy are such an awesome couple and were willing to walk all around downtown chattanooga to get these different shots. We had such a great time and afterwards went to mellow mushroom for some yummy pizza!

Rachel & Matt: E-Session

I loved shooting these guys (with a camera, that is!) This was such a beautiful day, and working with an awesome couple was just the icing on the cake. Not to mention the sweet vintage bus we found in this alley. Sometimes the best photos come from "stumbling" on some cool area of town, or exploring new backroads in the country.

December Portrait

This is a sample from a photo shoot earlier this month. It was taken in a little back alley in downtown cleveland,TN. Thanks Kim & Tim for your patience while I tried some new techniques - you two are awesome!
