Vote for Lydia George

This is my good friend Lydia George. She is running for Smyrna City Court Clerk. Lydia has worked in the legal field for 31 years for a number of firms as a paralegal. She has worked with multiple courts in Rutherford, Davidson and surrounding counties, as well as the Tennessee Supreme Court. She currently works in her husband Phillip’s office as office manager and paralegal. I got to know her well through my work at the Boys & Girls Club.
Election day is Aug. 3, and early voting is scheduled to take place July 14-29. The deadline to register to vote in this election is July 3. Under the town charter, the court clerk is responsible for collecting funds from violations of town ordinances or state law. At the end of each month, the court clerk is to report court collections to the town judge. The clerk will report the collection or non-collection of all fines, penalties, costs and forfeitures imposed by the court for municipal and general sessions dockets to the town manager for the current month and fiscal year to date. The town court clerk will be expected to devote their full working time and attention to the business and affairs of their elected office.
Every project I have ever worked on with Lydia has been more than successful. She would fit this position wonderfully, and I encourage you to vote for her! Best wishes on the campaign!

Congratulations Randy & Ashley

Here’s my Mom looking beautiful on her birthday! I was so excited that she came to Memphis with me to celebrate her birthday and to help me with the wedding.
Here we are before the wedding. We had a great time together.
Here’s a few images from Randy & Ashley’s wedding on Friday night. It was a lovely evening. I loved their color palette of black and light blue - so classic.
I think this is a great shot of Randy. He has a really cool look and this just accentuates how hard core he can be. He wore his Oakley sunglasses for most of the day.
Mom took this last image of the getaway, and I really like it. When couples use sparklers to highlight their night-time exits, it really is very effective and makes cool images.
Next post will be photos from our fun Saturday, hanging out with Kyle & Mom.
Road Trip!

We are in Memphis today getting ready to grab some lunch and then head over to Kirby Woods Church to get ready for Ashley & Randy’s wedding this evening. Mom is with me - today’s her birthday - and my brother is going to catch up with us in a bit so that we can all three be together and have some fun. Mom’s going to help me with the wedding, and then we’ll have a late dinner.
Our hotel rocks - the Hilton Memphis. See how tall it is? If you look closely, you might see us in our room on the top floor - #27. You can see the river from here and I can’t wait to take a picture of our view lit up at night. Our room is decorated in really fun bright colors. I will post some pictures of it too.
Check back in the morning (or late late tonight) for some shots from the Roebuck’s big day! OH - and you can leave your birthday wishes for Mom in the comments and I will make sure she reads them!

I shared the day with Josh & Mary Alice yesterday at Donelson First Baptist Church and the Hermitage for their beautiful wedding celebration. I was touched by how much this family loved each other, and how friendly everyone was. The Bride’s parents could not contain their emotion - we had to shoot their family photos twice because they were so overwhelmed with love for their daughter that they were crying.
Josh is a football guy, so we did some more creative wedding party photos than usual. I posted a few extras because they were just so fun to do!
Another highlight of my day was having Hollis & Edith Guthrie along as my second shooter and assistant. This is special to me because Hollis & Edith shot my wedding four years ago. They have been my mentors and my biggest encouragers and teachers in helping me start my own photography business. We made a great team! Thank you for your help yesterday guys!
Fun Friday

Brad had to go to traffic court on Friday because he had a wreck a few months ago. It was a little bit crazy, because his citation said that court started at 8:30. So, thinking we weren’t sure where we were going we got there at 8. But then we found out that the judge doesn’t call the docket until 9. We spent an hour standing in the hall and listening to all the drama that criminal court attendees were telling the D.A. and also some domestic disputes that were waiting for their time in court too.
We had some other errands to run and appointments, so Brad took the whole day off. It was great to hang out together all day and we had a good time. It was kind of like how a Saturday would be if I wasn’t working at weddings every weekend. Not that I am complaining - we have chosen this lifestyle and I love weddings and being your wedding photographer. But it was nice to have a whole day together! We snapped this picture and it’s my current favorite of us. Awwwww….

Sorry everybody, but I have new winners for the “Most Wonderful Kids” contest. I had the best time today in Murfreesboro with Jacob & Rachel!
We took a ton of photos of the kids, together and individually, and then some photos in Rachel’s dance outfits. I will probably be creating a slideshow of this session, because there are so many that I love.
This one of Jacob was just an “accident.” He wanted so badly to have his picture made inside this train caboose, so he sat down in the conductor’s chair. I really liked the way the light was hitting his face, and I love the end result.
Rachel is a natural in front of the camera. I could have taken a hundred more photos of her and they would have all been great. I am kind of sad that I won’t be able to attend her dance recital on Saturday because I bet she will do a fabulous job.
And, these children are so sweet to each other. They did not have a problem hugging or being close, and that is very special. The images we got will be ones that Mom & Dad are sure to treasure as they grow up, and ones that will be special to Jacob & Rachel when they are older! It was a great session. Thanks so much for letting me hang out with y’all today!
