Carden Photography – Portrait and Wedding Photographer in Tullahoma, Tennessee

My new ad came out today in the THS Echo … the student newspaper at Tullahoma High School. It is hard to get color exactly right in newsprint, so here’s a web sized version of the original.

Definition of a Veteran:
A veteran – whether active duty, reserve, national guard or retired – is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America”, for an amount of “up to and including my life.” – That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

I believe this image was taken by SFC Nate Crawford, TN ARNG. I’m the one carrying the regimental colors.

Xenia wanted some of her senior portraits done with a grand piano… here’s one of the close-ups.

Here’s a blooper from today’s senior portrait shoot near Estill Springs, Tennessee. The horse kept nibbling on Taylor’s hand… maybe looking for a treat?

Many of you might have begun considering how to carve your pumpkin. Maybe this will give you some ideas.

Monica’s Shoes has been on display for several months at the Celtic Cup Coffee House in Tullahoma. In a couple of days I will place a stack of cards below this image. Each card will contain a coupon worth a free pack of 24 custom Christmas cards!

The rules are very simple:

• Purchase, at regular portrait pricing, two (2) of any size gift portrait (8×12 or smaller) or one (1) wall portrait (11×14 or larger) and I will add a free pack of 24 Christmas cards.
• You must have purchased a print of the image on the custom Christmas card.
• You must present the card with the coupon when placing your print order.
• Offer applies only to portrait images that I have created or will create before December 1, 2009.
• Offer does not apply to art, event or photojournalism images.
• Limit one per family.

There is still plenty of time to book a portrait session so you can take advantage of this offer in 2009. Existing clients may purchase two gift portraits or one wall portrait of any image I previously created.

Considering the amount of rainy days we have had in the past couple of weeks, I thought it would be appropriate for this week’s pic to be the rainbow over the new Tullahoma High School stadium. This was captured on Thursday afternoon (9/24/09).

The debut of the new Tullahoma High School football stadium was last night. The crowd was great, the home team won … and the pictures are… on hold. Images are now up in the THS 2009 Football client gallery .

My guess is images will be up sometime late Wednesday in the client galleries and on Facebook.

The first game at the new Tullahoma High School stadium is tonight. This week’s pic is from the first senior shoot there.

The new football stadium at Tullahoma High School is undergoing last minute preparations for tomorrow’s opening. I was out there shooting a senior tonight and took this one before heading home.

One tiny hint for anyone planning to attend the game tomorrow night … or even anytime before the road is finished… wear your old shoes!
