Sarah and Jacob Cate, Sister and Brother, July 10, 2006

Sarah came to the studio with her family for some special pictures of her with her daddy, John. Melissa, her mom, wanted some photos of Sarah dancing on her daddy's feet.



Of course we also took some pictures of Sarah with her mom and her brother, Jacob.



Liz photographed John and Melissa's wedding several years ago and it has been a joy to see and photograph their beautiful children.

Heather and Matt Henson, Gordon Lee Mansion Wedding, Chickamauga, GA, June 24, 2006

The Gordon-Lee Mansion in Chickamauga, GA is one of the premier wedding locations in our area. They do a fantastic job of serving the bride and groom and when it started to rain, plan B went into effect.



How do you move over 200 guests to an alternate location at the last minute? Anyway, it all came together very nicely and the very beautiful Heather Irwin exchanged vows with her handsome groom,Matt Henson, at Cove Methodist Church.





The guests handled everything well and enjoyed the rest of the evening dancing the night away. It was lots of fun. CLICK HERE FOR THE SLIDESHOW.

McKinley, July 20, 2006

Four-year-old McKinley and her mom, Hannah, met us downtown at the old courthouse to do some special pictures commemorating McKinley's birthday.





Next door to the courthouse is a beautifully maintained garden, available to Unum Provident employees. We thought McKinley would enjoy that setting and she did. Then we went back to the Hamilton County Courthouse building and used the gigantic bubble maker which McKinley really liked.



Overall we had a really fun time.

CPPG Photo Safari, July 24, 2006

Liz and Diana Simpson, our oldest daughter, took advantage of the local photography guild's photo safari. David Smith is one our guild's most talented photographers and it was great to learn from him about shooting in all kinds of lighting conditions.

While shooting, at really low light, i. e. almost dark, we captured these three young ladies who were having fun at the aquarium and we promised them we would post their pictures here.







Call me, girls, and I'll send you a photograph.

Walt and Gray Beach, Brothers, July 11, 2006

Starr and Brad Higgins, Wedding, June 17, 2006

The groom, Brad, drove a bulldozer to the altar and Starr, the bride, arrived on a custom made bench in the bucket of a front loader. Fortunately, we were at the beautiful Tennessee Riverplace so there was lots of room to use that heavy equipment.





Check out the slideshow to see what I'm talkin' about.

Abby and Bubba Hardy, Wedding. July 8, 2006

Abby and Bubba stood and exchanged their vows on the front walk of her dad, Tim Lawson's, beautiful Signal Mountain home.



Liz and I were so privileged to be there and, with just family looking on, they pledged their "I do's."



Abby is a beautiful young lady and no doubt Bubba is a blessed man.





Pink is the bride's favorite color and we agreed real men wear pink.



Bubba reminded us that he has a tradition at weddings (we have pictures of at least two other weddings) of baring his chest and creating some unique photo opts.
