Ten beautiful and talented young ladies recently dropped by my studio in the Harton House as part of their preparations for the 2011 Cumberland Valley’s Junior Miss. The final competition will be this Saturday evening in the new auditorium at Tullahoma High School. In fact, this will be the first event in the newly renovated auditorium. Come on out.
Meanwhile, here are the contestants.
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.

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?

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

One of the really fun things about creating images on location is finding all sorts of really cool and different spots to shoot. Sometimes it’s obvious how to place and pose a subject in a certain spot. Sometimes it’s not. It’s not uncommon for me to jump in and demonstrate.
Recently I was shooting on a farm and wanted to use a great looking hay barn. So to demonstrate just how I was envisioning the image, I climbed up and took the pose. Amanda, my assistant for the day, took a shot.

Then Rosalyn made it look good.

This week we take a walk in the woods with Forrester Wall, a senior at Franklin County High School.

Great images aren’t just for h.s. seniors! Lindsey is a sophomore at Tullahoma High School.

The location is near Ledford Mill between Tullahoma and Shelbyville in Metropolitan Lynchburg, Tennessee. The prom dress was provided by Pearls and Pinstripes in downtown Tullahoma.
I recently had an incredible senior session with Alanna that spanned from Fayetteville back to Tullahoma and Rutledge Falls.

From a senior portrait shoot with Allison Brumfield in Tullahoma yesterday… can you guess her favorite color?
