More SANTA!!!

Due to the overwhelming response, and the fact that we booked our Santa portrait date within one week of posting it...we have set an additional date for Santa Claus Portraits! The day we have added is Wednesday, November 21st...the day before Thanksgiving. If you would like an appointment, please let us know soon because it will more than likely book solid, and Santa will probably not be available for any other dates. Also, if you have already booked an appointment for the November 12 date, and you would like to change to the 21st, just let us know.

Dance Lessons!

Well we've been keeping it a secret, but Michelle and I have been taking dance lessons! We were hoping no one would find out until we had all our moves perfected...but it looks like someone has filmed us in action. Anyway, just click the link to watch us get our groove on. Hope you all enjoy our awesome moves...

Bentley and Michelle dancing!

Hudson is here!

At long last...my new friend Hudson has decided to join us in the world. Isn't he cute?

I'm OLD!

That's right...it's official. This week, one of my very first studio subjects came back to see me. 17 years ago, right after I first opened my studio, Courtney's mom brought her to have portraits made. She was less than a month old then. Now she's a senior. It's hard for me to believe that time can fly so quickly...but it does. Some things don't change though. They only get better. As you can see, Courtney is every bit as beautiful as she was 17 years ago.

Back to the Beach!

We decided to take advantage of the long fall break weekend for another quick trip to the beach. I guess we didn't stay long enough last time to get it out of our system. Plus we are going to sneak in a couple of senior shoots while we're down there. By the way...we had an opening for this Saturday, so if you're going that way, let me know and I can set you up!

Way up high...in the sky

This week I had the opportunity to visit Boaz Intermediate School. It seems they needed a group photo of all their students in front of the school to put in the cookbooks they are selling for a fundraiser. By the way if you need a cookbook...give me a call. Anyway, the best way for me to get the shot was from above...in a bucket truck. After climbing in, I happened to remember that I'm not all that fond of heights. The kids kept yelling "higher" so we went higher and higher, until we were above the flagpole which was really way higher than I needed to be. I decided that was high enough, but the kids kept on..."higher, higher!" I think they just wanted to see if I would get sick or maybe see if my nose would bleed. I survived after all, and got this cool picture. Thanks to all the kids and faculty at Boaz Intermediate for turning my job into an adventure. Now...anybody need a cookbook?

Santa Claus is Coming!

That's right! It's time for us to start taking appointments for Santa Claus portraits. This year, Santa will be visiting on Monday, November 12. This is a ONE DAY ONLY event that WILL BOOK COMPLETELY...so if you would like for us to hold a spot for you, just give us a call!

Pumpkins!

Well in case you didn't notice by the chill in the morning air, fall is coming. This can only mean one thing...our annual trip to the Colvin pumpkin farm in Crossville. This is always a fun experience for the kids...but mainly for us. The Colvin's have such a neat place. It's like something out of a book...we just love it. I've posted a few photos, but it's one of those things that you need to experience for yourself...

Cheesin' it up on the front porch...A new ball!!!The honor system lives!
