Brazilian lady with Black and Brown eyes! Amazing!

This great portrait of Patricia was shot in a simple moment between poses, and between downpours of rain and hair and makeup fixes! I'm so glad I caught this shot. It highlights an amazing and captivating physical trait I had never seen before ----

She has one black and one brown eye! 

Let me know when you're ready for your portrait in Nolensville, Franklin, Nashville, Brentwood, Murfreesboro,... You get the picture!

Ring shot!

I usually photograph people, but have been working on developing skills for macro photography and product shots lately. So I was excited for a creative opportunity to use both in a short deadline photo shoot this morning. 

All I had was my camera at the office, and my trusty 50mm. I pulled together some white surround materials, to bounce the light around, and found a piece of reflective silvery paper in the closet. With little time to edit, the result was this a beautiful product shot of a gorgeous ring a friend of mine was selling. 

It's fun to take an immediate challenge and come up with a creative and beautiful solution! That's how I like to approach all of my shoots - with an open mind for what presents itself creatively looking for what resources are available!

I'll use these skills on the next event I shoot for sure. 

Let's shoot!

Out for a walk one day I realized how beautiful the simple brick apartment building looked across the calm water. I have gotten paid to shoot real estate, special events and products, but this is really one of my favorites just as it is, or was.

Events and marketing materials can always use a scenery shot to help tell the complete story, and I enjoy going back over a period of days to find the right lighting and angle for pics. Contact me for your real-estate or business photos!

Park shoot

Patricia invited me to shoot her portrait near the athletic park in Nolensville, between spots of chilling rain this spring. The shed doors turned into the perfect spot for this punk look. Thanks, Patricia, for bringing so many wardrobe options and being prepared for the weather!
I'd like to shoot some more portrait sessions in Nolensville this summer. There are endless creative locations in this small town. Contact me for a creative portrait, or new professional head shot!

Francis Crandall - 99 years old

update:
Rev. Francis Gilbert Crandall went to be with Jesus at the young age of only 101 and a half... (I told him we count halves after 100). His (auto)biography has been dictated and is being re-written for publication - planned for release in 2019. Contact me if you'd like to be notified when it publishes!

original post:
Francis Crandall is going to be 100 years old soon! I got a chance to sit with him and take his portrait, listen to his stories and record some of them. His biography is this old man's 100-year birthday wish?
Do you know someone over 75 who you would like to remember with a portrait, or personal video? Contact me today and I'll work with them to capture their story, and their image, for generations to come.

Corporate Images

One of the joys of being a corporate photographer is the different kinds of people you meet at  events, seminars, on the job and at company parties. When the camera comes around the smiles come out and the laughter starts, or people run and hide. There are such diverse personalities in every business, but everyone is a beautiful person to the camera. I love the candid opportunities to document real life, real work, and real people!
