Just for fun...

I've been thinking quite a bit about a class I was lucky enough to teach this quarter called Photo Techniques and Aesthetics. In this class you explore different themes and processes to get yourself to think outside of the box. This particular group of students have done very well with their projects and they have left an impact on me. :) I am posting a picture from a demonstration I did using a grid to show a single image with many frames. I am very excited to see their work on the wall at the end of the quarter!

Brett Patrick made it here just in time for Christmas!

Remember previous posts of Bella? Bella has a new baby brother named Brett Patrick (after Brett Favre and Grandpa). Lucky for me this boy can sleep or we couldn't have gotten that hat on him. Congratulations Heather and Jay, it was great seeing you again!

Catherine & Steve's Sneak Peak!

Here are a few sneak peaks from Catherine and Steve's wedding!















Great shot by Michelle!






Another great shot by Michelle while the groomsmen were taunting Steve!

Krissy & Mark's Wedding Sneak Peak!

Anyone who know Krissy and Mark, knows that they love running around in the Honda S2000! I am so glad it worked out to take their car under the bridge for this shot. They say when it rains on your wedding day that it's good luck. Krissy and Mark should have plenty of good luck because it rained the whole time we were taking pictures in downtown Knoxville! We had so much fun, none of us really cared! We just kept shooting, and shooting, and shooting some more! You can hardly tell how much rain there was, but I am glad to say that my gear held up nicely. Different types of weather make for interesting images and I love all the reflections in the Old City and in front of the Riviera Theater (two of their favorite hangouts). :)

Nicole & Brian's Engagement Session!

We really only had one day to choose from to schedule Nicole and Brian's engagement session and it turned out to be the right day! The weather was beautiful and I loved the clothes they brought. Thanks so much for letting me change locations at the last second! More to come!!
