Donna & Bud got married yesterday in Lynchburg, TN. They shared the day with a small group of family and friends. Here is one of my favorites from the day … captured at the Jack Daniels Distillery visitor center. Click on the image below to see more!

I have an art show this month at The Celtic Cup Coffee House. The theme is Shoes! The official opening is tomorrow evening. Come on out and join us and have a great cup of coffee… or a gelato … or whatever you’d like from their menu.
The Celtic Cup is located at 106 North Anderson in Tullahoma, TN.

Even though most schools have a contract photographer who takes formal yearbook pictures, I am often asked to create formal portraits as well. Some schools even allow my images to be included in their yearbook.
For a limited time, I’m waiving the creation fee for all formal senior portrait sessions. Don’t even bring your checkbook. If you don’t like my formal portraits better than the school photographer’s, there’s no commitment to buy anything.
Contact me ASAP to schedule your 30 minute formal senior portrait session!

Congratulations to Katye Brock of Tullahoma, Tennessee, the Distinguished Young Woman of Tennessee for 2011 … and now the Distinguished Young Woman of America for 2011! It has been an honor creating great images with you over the past year!

High resolution versions of Katye’s official images are available for editorial use.
Merry Christmas to all of my family, friends and clients (you guys are my friends too, ya know).

Tullahoma’s Christmas Parade was last night. It was an honor to sponsor Katye Brock, Tullahoma’s Junior Miss and Tennessee’s first Distinguished Young Woman (the new name for the Junior Miss competition). Here’s a pic of Katye and her dad.

For the rest of this week, I am having a sale on 4×6 prints from any of the THS galleries (band, football, etc). Individual 4×6 prints are still $10 each, but buy 10 and save 25%. Buy 20 and save 50%.
Here’s how to get this great deal:
1. Browse through the various THS galleries and place the images you want as 4×6 prints in your shopping cart. Be sure to use your real email address (the system ties your shopping cart to this).
2. When you have all of the images in your shopping cart, send me an email. I will review the cart and send you a discount code.
3. Once you receive the discount code, go back to your shopping cart (remember it’s tied to your email address), apply the discount code and check out.
4. Pay online via paypal or get me a check/cash.
I will have your prints probably within a couple of days… maybe even less.
Now get on over to the THS galleries to take advantage of this limited offer. All of the THS galleries are under the Photojournalism category.
About a year ago I did a very fun shoot with Michael Maupins at the South Jackson Civic Center in Tullahoma. I shared this image at the time … but failed to share the best images of the shoot. Click on it to see all of our “shadow play.”
