Celebrating Love | {Couples} {Families} {Babies}

Love is in the air...

For the last few years, Allan and I have given away a couple of sessions to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and this year is no exception. We're a little late in making the announcement as our wedding was on February 4th, but now it's just closer to another romantic holiday, Valentines Day.

This year we're giving away three different types of sessions- engagement, family and baby- and we've made it really easy and super fun to enter! Plus you will be helping us with something very important to our business at the same time.

Here is how to enter
Below you will find two example photographs of each of the types of sessions you can enter to win. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this post with {1} the type of session you would like to win, {2} three words to describe the emotions and/or moods in example photographs, {3} a brief explanation of why you would like to win and {4} your name and e-mail address so we can contact you if you are a winner. Of course, if you would like to share any other comments you are always welcome to do so.

A winner will be chosen at random from the entries for each type of session and we will use at east three of the most suggested descriptive words in our marketing materials, which is a great help to us.

{Engagement}

{Family}

{Baby}

Thank you for joining us in celebrating our love for couples, families and babies!

The Salvation Army | Distribution Day

Happy New Year to you! Allan and I took a few days off at the end of the year to relax and enjoy time with friends and family, but we're back and ready to capture your special moments in 2012. Here are some images to get the new year started!

For the past couple of years Allan and I have enjoyed giving back to the community through our photography by providing The Salvation Army of Knoxville, TN with images from some of their events. Again this year we documented Distribution Day held on December 17th in a former grocery store in North Knoxville. Many of the volunteers helping out this year were students from Catholic High School and Webb School of Knoxville and they really had a great time gathering the items to be distributed to each family being helped by The Salvation Army.

Danielle | Portrait of a Hippie, teacher, artist and signal-booster

Sometimes you meet people and you just know they are smart, fun and awesome. That's what I thought the first time I met Kate Jones. A little over a year ago Kate had moved from Colorado to Tennessee with her cats and all her potions and cauldrons to create her amazing crap free soaps and balms at Om Shanti Naturals and I was one of the first people she met. OK, maybe she didn't have cauldrons. Over the past year I have gotten to spend time with and  know Kate and her famous cat, Loiosh.

Once day earlier this summer, I met Danielle Nelson who was visiting Kate from Buffalo, NY. And guess what? I thought the same thing about her. Smart, fun and awesome! Well, Danielle recently came back to Knoxville to teach a workshop for the Knoxville Creative Hands Street Team, chat about social media on 11 O'Clock Rock over at Knox ivi and visit with Kate. I knew it would be great fun to photograph Danielle so I convinced her to meet me before the workshop for some fun in the Old City.

Well, we had fun. Lots of fun. And we also had rain. Lots of rain. So here are some of the images Allan and I captured in the rain, the puddles and the alleyways around our stomping grounds. Visit the links to find out more about Danielle and the services she offers through Life Unconstrained and about Kate and her editing services at Crap Free Content.

Don't you just want to go out and jump in a puddle?

And there was laughing...

And puddles...

Puddle ninja

And more laughing...

And more puddles...
