I just received this unsolicited note from Travis in Tullahoma:
You do some excellent work… You’ve got a really natural sense of light, especially in your candid outdoor shots. In a controlled studio, if you don’t get it right, well you just shouldn’t be a photographer… but in the great outdoors reality is harder than you make it look. Your online portfolio is very inviting.
So I thought an outdoor shot would be appropriate to go with it. This image was taken at noon in the middle of an open field. However you don’t see any evidence of hard shadows from overhead light. God gives us great light to work with … but we have to know how to… and take the time to… modify that light to make our subjects look their best.
I had an awesome senior shoot with Shelby and Nick yesterday. We started at an old barn in Lynchburg then hit a couple of locations at Jack Daniels. After lunch we hiked down to Machine Falls and continued creating great images. Everyone got at least a little bit wet. Oh yeah, mom pulled off her duties well holding reflectors and lights.
Here are a few of my favorites from the day!
For the rest of March, I am waiving the creation fee for any senior sessions. Contact me ASAP to book with this great savings!
Spring usually brings in more people looking for portraits. This one was captured indoors in natural light with my favorite portrait lens.
Since we’re a few days from Christmas, here is one of Josie to help set the mood.
Congrats to Catherine Murray for winning a spot as the opening act for an upcoming United Way Hal Ketchum benefit concert.
You might recognize Catherine from her business in Tullahoma, McMurr’s.
Since it’s the 4th of July, I dug out this image of Josie. Her man is a Marine currently deployed… our prayers are with him.
So celebrate the birth of the greatest nation on the planet today. Oh yeah, don’t forget to tell our troops, veterans and their families how much you appreciate their hard work and sacrifices.
