Morgan & Jamie's Wedding Photos

I'm just going to say it. I loved this couple, and I loved this wedding. I can't thank Morgan and Jamie enough for letting me capture their special day.

I hope you enjoy looking at the photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.

George Carlin Passes

One of the greatest comedic thinkers of all time passed away yesterday. George Carlin was one in a million. He was often crass and cold and grumpy on stage, and not everyone had a taste for George Carlin's style or humor. But, whether you liked him or not, he always made you think.

Here's to you, Mr. Carlin - we will sorely miss your brand of humor and your ability to see the truth where others couldn't, and then make us laugh about it.

A "Cyn" Full Session

So, I had the distinct pleasure of meeting and shooting fellow photogapher, Cyn (or Cynthia, but don't call her that yet, she might just kick your butt) last Monday. We had so much fun in the studio that it almost didn't seem like a photo shoot.

I was looking for someone who could do a little "punk glam" for me in the studio, but we got way more than that. Thanks, Cyn. I look forward to the next time.

What do buttercups taste like anyway?

I'm not sure either, but little Ryan Finchum certainly does. He was infatuated with the putting the little buggers in his mouth during our family portrait session this past Saturday.

Greg, Katie, Ryan, Jamie, Bruce and Darius were all a delight to shoot with, and I would say we got some outstanding images, but I'll let you be the judge of that. Enjoy!

Doug and Jeanne: An Engagement Session

What fun - roaming around the World's Fair Site in downtown Knoxville, TN - shooting an e-session with Doug and Jeanne.

They make it official on May 17th, and I'll be there to cover it all.

Video Slideshow of Chisa's Session

I'm no expert, but I did shoot at the Holiday Inn Select!

That's right. For the first time, I shot in a hotel room, and oh was it fun.

My friend and model, Chisa Meador was more than happy to help me out. We shot both fashion and glamour/boudoir in the room, and I experimented with all types of natural light. Thanks, Chisa for a wonderful shoot. Looking forward to the next one.

Morgan and Jamie: Engagement Session

It rained, but we didn't care. Not at all.

I had the distinct pleasure of shooting Morgan and Jamie's engagement session today. I'll be shooting their wedding later this summer, and if these photos are an example of how they perform in front of the camera, then I can't wait to see what the wedding photos look like.

I'd like to give a special thank you to Heather who assisted me this afternoon, and to Nostalgia a unique "Vintique" store that allowed us to shoot inside their shop. You can find it on Homberg Drive right beside Jerry's Art-o-rama and right down the street from Side Street Tavern.

It was nice to meet some local folks

Last night I had the disctinct pleasure of meeting area photographers, Meggie Velasco, Jamie Weiss, Sondra Leben, and Hal Wade at my first monthly PUG meeting. We had some decent food and some excellent conversation. I look forward to my next meeting with these fine folks.
