Spring Cleaning

This week has seen the beginning of a few changes that have been in the works for a while. I've spent most of the week cleaning my office, going through closets and cabinets, moving things around, fixing/replacing anything that was broken and so forth. I started back in the spring, when it really was "spring cleaning". Now, well into the summer, I am finally bringing this project to fruition. Those of you who have been here in the past will likely not recognize it the next time you are here.

I mention all of this because it is part of a bigger plan. I am making room in my office to accommodate two new projects/products. I'll announce them formally when they are ready to go, but for now I'll just say that some special deals will be coming to accompany them.

I'll post more pictures later tonight from a really fun engagement session at Rhodes College.

Ciao for now.

Girl Scout Camp Part Four

I'm posting a few more this time. I can't tell you how much fun I had on this shoot. The girls were having tons of fun, which is always infectious, but many of them had not been in this environment for such an extended period before. I could see where girls were leaning on their old friendships in ways they hadn't before, and where they were forging new friendships by the day.







The lake is full of freshwater mussels...


And there were butterflies everywhere. This one sat in this girl's hand for several minutes before fluttering away.









They call this area "The Singing Trees", although it's not really the trees that do the singing.

Girl Scout Camp Part Three

This first shot is one of my favorites. It's such a classic summer camp shot, hiking off into the woods.







The next seven shots are from a place they call "the gullies". Lots of fun when dry, but I'm told it's even more fun after a good rain. It didn't rain while I was there, but maybe I'll get another shot at it one of these days.

Erica and Jeremy

Erica and Jeremy were married on June 13, 2009 at Germantown Baptist Church. I always enjoy shooting there because of the open spaces and the large quantity of window light that illuminates the main lobby. It's a church that provides a lot of options no matter the weather.

The reception was at Germantown Country Club. Coordinator Beth Webb did a fantastic job of getting both the church and country decorated (as always!!!), as well as pulling all of the details together for everyone involved.
