Rave reviews from a BynumPhoto Mama…
September 30, 2006 | Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
After I posted this a few days ago, I got the sweetest email back from Olivia & Sophie’s mama Lorrie.
She writes, “OK…do you Want me to cry??? HOW do you make it look so dreamy??? I LOVE LOVE LOVE them all and can’t wait to see more! I truly enjoyed you being at our home and felt like you were a member of our family. Olivia loved you and was telling her daddy about you and your tea set “you brought just for her”. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! LORRIE.”
How can I not be smiling from ear to ear, and thank Lorrie for her nice comments with another sneak preview of a couple pics? I am a huge fan of fan mail, so if you send a nice note I might post up some more pictures of you too! :o)
Jonie & Chris, Nashville Wedding at West End Church of Christ
September 29, 2006 | Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
I couldn’t go to sleep without posting up some of the AWESOME images from Chris & Jonie’s fabulous wedding celebration today. There’s something about a Friday night wedding - they just have a cool feel to begin with. But this day had that little something extra to it…
Steph came along with me as my second shooter, and she got some incredible shots as well - I will post some more up in the next few days.
We decided to go downtown after the reception (our little secret) and take a few romantic night-time photos. Chris & Jonie are spending their wedding night at the Hermitage Hotel, so we went over there a little early to hang out and get some cool pictures.
Slideshow will be posted online really soon. It’s already half way done because I showed some pre-ceremony shots at a slideshow at the reception, and it seemed to go over really well. Thanks to Steph for manning the computer.
Headed to Memphis in the morning…give me a call before noon if you need me…I’ll have 4 hours in the car to chat.

Oh man, can you see how much fun I had today? I can’t say enough how much fun I had with these girls and their Mom, Lorrie. I feel like I made some new friends today. Hope you enjoy these previews.

September 26, 2006 | Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
My good friends Hollis & Edith Guthrie are having a Fall Fest on Saturday October 21 at their studio here in Smyrna. They are doing a special Fall portrait scene in their studio that is perfect for your babies & children in their Halloween costumes or fun new sweaters, etc. Special print package is $20 for 2 5×7 and 4 wallets.
If you didn’t already know, Hollis photographed my wedding in 2002, and has been my business mentor ever since. He does awesome portrait work and I highly recommend him for this and for any other traditional portraits that you may want of your children or family. He has been a photographer for over 15 years. Photography by Guthrie is located in the shopping center at the corner of Old Nashville Hwy & Hazelwood, around the corner from Tennessee Urgent Care.
Call 459-2538 to schedule your session and be sure and tell him I sent you!
Graham Family Portraits at Turner Farms
September 23, 2006 | Filed Under Uncategorized | 1 Comment
It is a really rainy day here in Nashville. But the sun came out for brief moments here and there and lured us into going forward with a family portraits session. Despite the downpours, I think we still had a great time!
We started out in the clouds, and then by the time we got over to the barn, the skies broke open and there was nothing more we could do but sit and take pictures in the loft. Thank goodness for my mother, who put my Tahoe in 4-wheel drive and headed across the field to pick rescue us.
I was actually not too sad about the rain, because I had some tricks up my sleeves. I had packed the tutus and umbrellas for these little ladies, and they were up for playing in the rain. Aren’t Morgan & Lauren just beautiful? They were so sweet to each other - it was great.
Thanks for coming out today Graham Family!
Khris & Carmen’s Wedding Slideshow
September 22, 2006 | Filed Under Uncategorized | 3 Comments
Steph and I shot so many images at Khris & Carmen’s awesome wedding on August 6 at Two Rivers Mansion that it has taken me a little longer than I wished to get this slideshow up to show everyone.
This was an awesome Jewish ceremony that was so touching that it brought a tear to my eye. I loved the salt ceremony too.

…or something like that. Tonight I met up with some other fabulous girls who are photographers in the Middle Tennessee area and we had a great time talking over dinner.
Again, a quick snap in the parking lot after standing around and chatting for 30 minutes…L to R Betsy Butler, Andrea Hallgren, Melanie McLellan, and me. Also in attendance were Angela Disrud and Angie Sliger.
Thanks for including me and I LOVED hanging out with y’all. Can’t wait for our next gathering.
Bradley’s 6 Month Session
September 21, 2006 | Filed Under Uncategorized | 2 Comments
Oh man, this session today with Bradley could not have gone any better. He was in such a good mood and I could have posted every single shot up here as my favorite.
I LOVE photographing babies on the black background. It just highlights the baby so nicely. My favorite studio sessions are always the black background, and this one is no exception.
Here’s a few early favorites. Thanks for letting me photograph your sweet baby Jason & Kelly.
FBC Smyrna Staff Photos
September 19, 2006 | Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
I caught up with the staff of our wonderful church, First Baptist Church Smyrna, to take their pictures for the “Staff” page of the new website. Jason says that this page is one of the pages that is receiving the most hits, so he felt like we needed to have pictures of the staff on there to go along with their contact info.
So, here they are (minus David M. whose photo I will add tomorrow).
Thanks for a great session gang.
Bloglines

If you read a ba-zillion blogs every day like I do, you should check out Bloglines.
You can input all your blogs, and then it gives you a little desktop notifier when one of your blogs has been updated. This saves you from clicking on each one and seeing if there is a new post. You can also just click on your Bloglines page and read the updates from a central location. It’s a big timesaver and also kind of fun!
Thanks for the tip, Jamie.
