Memphis - A Photo Fiesta!

Memphis is so real. That's the only word I can think of to describe it. It is full of life, emotion, hospitality and people, my favorite things to photograph!



Beale street is 180 degrees from most touristy places, and I loved it. I took so many photos I had to buy a new memory card while I was there. Luckily I was at a PHOTOGRAPHY conference and trade show, so memory cards were readily available!



These two little men did backflips down Beale and I just had to get their portrait.




The food was phenomenal! Denise and I found a little place called Bigfoot Lodge across from the hotel that served fried dill pickles and bbq egg rolls. THE BEST! I'm considering another trip to Tennessee just so I can visit that place.



Southern hospitality isn't a myth either. Even housekeeping in the hotel had a cheerful "Good Morning" at 6am!



A few more of my favorites...

Granville Maker's Market

The Granville Maker's Market is every Saturday at the Baptist Church in Granville from 9:30-12:30. There's always a wonderful selection of local artists and craftspeople and the farmer's market is right across the street. The event helps benefit the Woodlands as well. I won't be attending every week, but if you'd like to come out contact me and I'll let you know if I'm going to be there. You'll have the chance to chat and look at some of my fine art prints as well as purchase special gift baskets for $50 that include a $100 gift certificate. Hope to see you there some Saturday!

Mr. & Mrs. Robbie Dunn

Congratulations to Crystal and Robbie 6-23-07. I had a great time shooting your special day!

UCP Golf Outing

I was blessed to be a part of UCP's 8th annual People of Promise Golf Outing on June 11th. We had perfect weather and the golf course at the Lakes was absolutely gorgeous.

This was the first year offering commemorative photographs to all the teams, so Heather Dean and I commandeered a golf cart and followed each foursome to the course. After about three hours we finally had everyones photo so we rushed to Cord Camera where they printed all 144 photos in just under an hour. Back to the Lakes we went to stuff 144 frames and we finished up just as the golfers began arriving at the clubhouse.

The photos were a hit!

I couldn't have done it without Heather, Gina and the rest of the great staff and volunteers at UCP. They truly are a wonderful group of people, dedicated to those with disabilities.

From their website: "United Cerebral Palsy of Central Ohio is a private, non-profit agency whose mission is to provide an environment where people with disabilities and aging conditions receive individualized programs and support services."

Thank You!

A great big THANK YOU to everyone who attended the Open House this weekend! It was a pleasure meeting everyone new and seeing old friends. Congratulations to the door prize winners as well; I hope you enjoy your prizes. Putting together the Open House was a lot of fun, but boy was Sunday a great day to relax!

But, alas, it's Monday again. And school is almost out (oh my). I'm excited to be able to spend more time with K but on the other hand, this was his first year and I'm a little teary eyed thinking it's over. My little man is growing up so fast! I remember crying about 9 months ago, on that first day in August, I think it was around lunch time when it really hit me; he's not my baby any more. He's got his own friends, interests and personality, and boy what a personality it is!

They really do grow up way too fast.

Online Outlet

Tiny Portraits has debuted on the Sunny 95 Online Outlet! The first half-price gift certificate has already been snatched up but next week they'll add another one, and the week after that, until they either run out of ink printing them or I run myself out of business! Actually, there are only a limited number available so hurry and go check it out, under the "services" tab. It's a great opportunity to get $100 worth of portraits for only $50. There are lots of other great items and services available as well (I have my eye on a couple!)
