One tradition in our home is Saturday morning pancakes. For something like a dozen years, my wife has received breakfast in bed on most Saturdays. A couple of years ago our daughter started joining in on the fun of helping make pancakes. So this week’s pic is in honor of our pancake tradition.
Here’s something you don’t see every day around here… lots of snow on the ground. This week’s pic of the George Dickel sign was taken out in Cascade Hollow between Normandy and Tullahoma.
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.”
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.
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 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!
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.
Today was the official ribbon cutting for The Celtic Cup at 106 North Anderson Street in Tullahoma. They’re almost open for business. One of the features will be an art wall… and Carden Photography will be the first featured artist! I’ll also have a permanent piece or two in there somewhere.
Look whose article made the home page rotation at the Professional Photographer magazine web site.
“You look like you fell in love during your engagement session,” the bridesmaid told the bride. While it is certainly a statement about the photography, it is just as much an endorsement of my custom guestbook and an example of how this product helps set me apart as a wedding photographer.
Building a custom guestbook from the engagement session is apparently provided by very few photographers in this area. Every bride I met last month at the Southern Middle Tennessee Bridal Fair was excited by them.
How big is this? My guestbooks and the process by which I create them is featured this month by Professional Photographer Magazine in the article, Custom Guestbooks Make an Indelible Impression. Thousands of photographers around the world will be reading about this part of my wedding coverage.
The brides who select me to capture their wedding will get the real thing. The brides who book me this month will receive a $250 discount on their custom guestbook.
