Hello Everyone!

If you have ordered a sport Tumbler or sport Poster. THEY ARE IN!!!!

I will be distributing these items this coming Saturday in Vonore @ the baseball/softball fields, during opening day games!

Thank you all for your patience and kindness. This past basketball season was hectic.

It was an honor to photograph your little athletes and meet everyone. Plus catch up with faces I have missed.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity and pushing me to learn more. Your encouragement was a blessing to keep going.

As always I pray each and everyone has a great baseball/softball season!!
God bless you all!

See you Saturday!

Let it snow!!!

With the temperatures below freezing and a wind chill that only penguins would appreciate. This beautiful young lady fought off the cold like a Champ!🥶💪

When it snows around here, well everyone does their best to take advantage of it and it enjoy it. Because as quickly as it shows up, just about as quickly, it will be gone in just a couple of days. Then it is just a slushy and ice mix. So, trying to catch a beautiful blanket of fluffy white snow is a treat!❄️

(Using all natural light and the reflection of light off the white blanket of snow. Shot with my mirrorless cannon eos.)

A little Tennessee Snow!

Happy 20th Birthday to Kiera!!!

Kiera has had this shoot planned for months. Holding on to the perfect outfit and accessories. Just waiting for the perfect day. Little did she know it would be Friday, our first snow of the year! But, it was so worth it!!!

We tried to wait until the snow started to fall in abundance. When is started to have larger flakes, it really started to shower down.

Shooting outside in the elements can be a real challenge at times. The sky with a blanket of cloud coverage, light spitting snow, a break in the clouds for a little light then tons of snow all at once falling. The wind picking up, constant lighting changes. But, not enough for us to quit. We had a blast!!!!!

So naturally I would show a few from a gallery. But, in this case...... I am definitely going to share a few extras!!!!

This young lady has shown restraint, joy, love, courage, accountability, responsibility and so much more. I could not be more honored to be her photographer for this momentous occasion!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIERA, I HOPE THAT IT IS ONE YOU ALWAYS TREASURE!!

Just a little sneak preview of what is to come from our Friday snow session......

"One picture is worth a thousand words".....

This shot was taken at the very moment a clump of snow fell from a tree and landed inside the sleeves of her outfit.

I am looking forward to sharing more...... Stay tuned!!!!

#1 on my Catch up list

Tierra James!!!!

When I was contacted for this session. I will say I was a tad bit giddy to say the least. She wanted to include her horse "Ms.Ruby".

I was beyond excited when I arrived to find there was a HERD of horses just waiting for us to come and join them. Very curious and very gentle. All the horses were on their best behavior.

Tierra was such fun to work with. Her outfit choices were absolutely perfect. Super easy to direct and within a few minutes, she just fell right into pose after pose just as naturally as you please. Not to mention the connection between Tierra and Ruby. The camera absolutely loves you sister!!! This beauty just dominated the camera.

Tierra, thank you and your family for allowing me the opportunity to be your photographer and present you with photos that hopefully captured the day you wanted.
