Last Sunday, we arrived at “The Cove” at Concord Park in Farragut before the sun. It was a bit chilly, but local models, Carly Reed, Elizabeth Snyder, and Ashley Gunnarson were real troopers. They changed into their bikinis while my assistant, Jonathan Cox and I dragged the equipment to the beach and got everything set up.
Right on schedule, the sun popped above the horizon at just after 7 o’clock, and we got some beautiful sunrise images. Thanks to all involved in this shoot. I really appreciate it.

I’ve discovered a new form of therapy. It may not work for you, but it works for me. My therapy is painting, and more specifically, painting in the computer with a program called Corel Painter.
Painter gives you a vast array of brushes and settings that allow for very realistic brush strokes and painting technique. You work directly on your original photograph – adding to or taking away and hand brushing each and every color on your digital canvas. For me, it’s therapy. To lose myself in the art and movement of my hand on the wacom tablet.
Here are some of the results of my therapy.
I had the pleasure of having local model (and good friend of mine), Chisa Meador in the studio again. We had a great time and got lots of great images. Thanks, Chisa. I look forward to the next time we work together.

I’m sure you’ve seen Heather in my portfolio. She’s actually in the opening shot at the top of this web site. I’ve worked with her for 12 years now. She’s been one of my closest friends for 10 years now, and she was the person who agreed to be my very first guinea pig for a modeling shoot years ago. She’s had a tough year. She’s moved a couple of times here in Knoxville, and at the end of this month, she’ll be moving to the west coast to work with her sister. I’ve shot with her many times, and it was weird to know as we shot that this was probably our last shoots as Knoxvillians.
I’ll miss you, “Hector.” We’ve had too much fun over the years.
I once again had the pleasure of shooting the Finchum Family portraits, and what fun we had celebrating summer at their home in Strawberry Plains, Tennessee. Little Ryan is just adorable, and he’s getting so big.
I also want to say thanks to the Finchums or inviting me, my wife, and daughter to stay, eat, and enjoy their pool on a hot summer evening. It was a blast. Thank you.
