Spider Webs in the Fog

A foggy morning here in Nashville last week resulted in some deliciously misty photos for me and any other photographer who got out in the almost chilly weather. Everything from spiderwebs and barns to horses and tombstones took on an ethreal, other-worldly look in the soft light of that overcast morning. Yummy lighting! What fun!

Too Many Favorites to Pick!!

What a LOVELY problem to have, eh? There were simply too many FAVES in this batch of photos to pick just one or two to post! I did narrow it down from a mere dozen or so... :D And what better subjects, eh? Kiddos and their families on a sunny Autumn afternoon as the golden hour of light approaches....ahhhhhh.....

Playing around in Lightroom with several of these. Love to play with the "American Eagle" look--high contrast, decreased saturation. Also enjoying playing around with the clarity slider. Doesn't take much to put a smile on my face!

Who says guys are NOT as photogenic as girls?? Stuff, nonsense and poppycock!

Great job, Adam!

Happy Hallowe'en--a couple of days early!

Intense concentration is required for little fellows to carve their pumpkin JUST RIGHT. No time to look up and have your photo taken, and no time for conversation, either. Maybe time for a roasted marshmallow or....

Isn't this fellow adorable? He slaved away on that pumpkin. Way to go!

Teen Hay Ride

Yes, it is finally Autumn, and with the change in the weather comes the annual Mayo Hay Ride! Lots of fun, food, frolicking (spelling??), football and fellowship for all--as well as all the hot dogs and roasted marshmallows a stomach can hold....

If you didn't make it, so sorry. You missed an incredible afternoon and evening. Mark it down for next year--it is THAT good!

Our thanks to the Mayos--for patience and hospitality beyond all expectations!

Happily Ever After

I am thinking of offering "Happily Ever After" photo sessions as an option to my wedding packages. It would be a more relaxed photo shoot anytime AFTER the wedding (maybe even on the first anniversary?)....

These images are of some precious friends who were married in January of this year. I've shared just a few today, and will put up more over the next bit of time.

Enjoy!

Titans' Training Camp

Okay, so WHO KNEW you could go and watch the Titans at their training camp???

Anyway, my fourteen year old son and I went to the Titans' training camp this week, and had an absolute blast photographing. With two big "L" series lenses, we were both able to get good photos. One of those afternoons we won't forget!
