<b>Pretty much the cutest project we've ever worked on!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last summer we were contacted by <b>Knox County Health Department (KCHD)</b> about a <a href="http://www.strongbabyknox.org/" target="_blank">campaign they wanted to create to promote stronger babies</a>. We didn't have much preliminary information, just that is would involve babies and photography. OK, babies are cool, we're photographers, let's see what this is all about. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We met with some of the folks at KCHD and they outlined what the project involved and it was not quite what we were prepared for. Yes, we'd be photographing babies, but they would then be composited into what I'll just call "action babies". The KCHD was basing their project on a similar one done in Milwaukee so they had plenty of sample images to share with Allan and I. It was a little freaky, but also super cute, so we agreed to bid the job.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But we would only bid the photography because the level of post-production required for this project was outside of Allan's comfort zone and this was not the project to tackle and learn new skills at the same time. We know when to focus on our strengths. A local graphic productions company, <a href="http://highresolutions.com/" target="_blank">High Resolutions</a>, who had done work with KCHD in the past was tapped to handle the post-production. Whew! <b>They had their work cut out for them. Literally and figuratively.</b></div>

<b>Strong Babies</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A casting call was announced and scheduled for the end of September. I ended up breaking my wrist badly the week before, but we set me up in a photo station with the camera on a tripod so I could still help out. There were a lot of babies photographed during the casting call and I was really glad I didn't have to choose the finalists because they were all adorable. It took a while for the folks at KCHD to choose the finalists and then we worked together to schedule two half days for photographing the babies. This was a fantastic idea! Two days with four babies each day was ideal. We set up the lighting and backdrop the day before so we didn't have to fuss with it the day of the shoot and all of the babies were amazing. Each baby had about an hour and as soon as we were done, we were done. During the shoots, I captured some behind-the-scenes images and we shared those with the parents along with some of the images that turned out like portraits. We weren't shooting portraits exactly but we were lucky to get some really adorable photos. Allan did a bit of pre-edit on all of the images and then we sent them over to <b><a href="http://highresolutions.com/" target="_blank">High Resolutions</a></b>. And we waited. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>The waiting is over!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In May the Strong Babies campaign was launched! KCHD has a website promoting Strong Babies along with billboards, advertising before movies and in print as well. It's quite impressive how well the images reflect strong babies. I was so excited about this project, but since we weren't in the loop of the post-production we actually found out about the campaign launch by accident. I'll chalk it up to KCHD being really excited about the project.</div>

Check out the images below to see how each baby embodies the <b>"Strong Babies" campaign</b>. The first images are some of the final images that were incorporated into the web, print and media pieces. There are screenshots of how the images were used on the website too. My favorite image is the tug o' war! The last image shows the babies in one of their behind-the-scenes/portrait shots. So adorable!

ALM Photo has photographed a wide variety of events in East Tennessee over the last ten years from corporate milestones to ribbon cuttings to red carpet movie premieres to fundraising functions to family reunions to high school reunions to extreme sports on water and dirt. Allan and I work as a team and our well-honed skill sets and professionalism ensure the highest level of coverage so every moment is captured.<br />
<br />
Event photography is available by the hour with a two-hour minimum. We love documenting the moments that matter, no matter how big or small.<br />

<br />
Anyone can pick up a camera and snap photos of a real estate listing, but successful real estate agents want and need photos that will encourage potential sellers to set showing appointments. Those quick snaps tend to look as if what's being sold is furniture and not a home. Proper equipment and technique deliver proven results. Sellers seek out the best agent to list and sell their home, so why not choose the best photographer to <a href="http://knoxvillerealestatephotography.com/portfolio.html" target="_blank">bring that home to life</a>.<br />

While Allan and I typically work together on commercial photography projects and weddings, real estate photography is Allan's area of expertise. He's been photographing real estate for over 10 years and has perfected his techniques to ensure consistent results. Please visit our <a href="http://knoxvillerealestatephotography.com/" target="_blank">website</a> dedicated to our <a href="http://knoxvillerealestatephotography.com/portfolio.html" target="_blank">real estate photography</a>. We'd love to work with you!Allan and Lisa Mueller | ALM Photo | Knoxville, Tennesseehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14094816324461919176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774296120973772463.post-90313870843122657992017-06-15T11:39:00.001-04:002017-07-25T15:13:00.151-04:00We Love Cake and Love! Knoxville Wedding Photography with Allan and Lisa MuellerAllan and I have been photographing weddings for nearly 15 years relying solely on word-of-mouth (and the occasional social media or blog post) to grow this segment of our business and we're really happy about it! Why? There are a couple of reasons, but the most important one is that 90% of the weddings we have ever photographed have been that of friends. We love capturing the love between people we already have a connection with, but that doesn't mean we don't love meeting new people and photographing their weddings too. If you or someone you know is getting married, we'd love to get together and chat to see if we'd be a good match.<br />
<br />
Here are a few images from a couple of weddings we shot earlier this season.<br />

Allan and Lisa Mueller | ALM Photo | Knoxville, Tennesseehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14094816324461919176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774296120973772463.post-61403046672781860602016-07-22T17:56:00.000-04:002017-06-15T11:36:37.014-04:00Food. Camera. Paper. Action!<h2>
<b>Sometimes a client will give you what seems to be a simple request. </b></h2>
<h2>
<b>Photograph some food.</b></h2>
<br />
But then you realize that you don't have a way to lug a lighting setup or a bunch of equipment. Yeah, that happened. I was thinking about all of the different types of photography we do for clients and started looking through some images and found the ones I will share below along with the story of how they came to be. This is why it is always a good idea to hire photographers who can think on their feet and make things happen under less than ideal conditions.<br />
<br />
Several years ago, when ALM Photo was based in the Old City of Knoxville in the Jackson Atelier Building, we were asked to head up to Market Square and photograph some new burger platters that would soon be offered at Latitude 35. For those of you who live in Knoxville, you know this was a while ago because Lat 35 is no longer there and has been replaced by what I am sure is an even more exciting restaurant. Anyway, the client was publishing the photos in an article about the new burgers and the images had to be shot ASAP.<br />
<br />
Allan was off shooting something else, perhaps even out of town, and so I was limited in my choices of gear. Plus I didn't have a vehicle to transport any gear. It's not that far from Jackson Avenue to Market Square, but it could be if you have to lug gear. I put on my thinking cap. And thought. And thought. And thought some more.<br />
<br />
Lightbulb! I'll take a swath of white background paper, some clamps, a camera and taking advantage of the overcast day, shoot outside on the restaurant's covered seating area. Genius! Right? Well, if you know me, you know that I approach things a little differently than Allan when it comes to doing a proper shoot. I am not afraid to wing it. Allan likes to have everything all figured out and, get this, he likes to plan ahead. Scary, huh?<br />
<br />
So, I somehow managed to pack up all this stuff and cart it down the street to Market Square. I recall that it was a bit breezy and I was having difficulty with the paper acting as a bit of a sail. I made it to the restaurant with everything and found the chef, explained why I was there and proceeded to set up my little studio out under the covered seating area. I really wish I had a photo of my set up because it was quite the sight. Basically, what I did was clamp the paper to a chair to create a mini-background, found the best light and used another chair as a ladder as needed for some of the looking down shots.<br />
<br />
So that's a lot of words to get to the most important part of this story, the photos. I think I had to shoot with a 50mm because Allan had all the other gear with him, so my depth of field was fairly shallow, but I will let you be the judge of the images. Let me know what you think of the results. Seriously. It's been several years since I shot them and it's always fun to look back on past work and think about how you might have done it differently. Allan did not believe me when I told him about my set-up.<br />
<br />
Here you go! Oh, and for the record the burgers were delicious. I got to try a couple of them and was quite pleased. Also, except for the big platter shot, I left a lot of white space so the client could crop the images, so the composition does look off. I would have made the composition more interesting if I had more latitude. (Haha!) Enjoy!<br />

Allan and Lisa Mueller | ALM Photo | Knoxville, Tennesseehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14094816324461919176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774296120973772463.post-17075492561464033902016-07-13T12:01:00.000-04:002016-07-22T17:50:31.512-04:00It's been a while...It's certainly been a while since I lasted shared anything at all here on the <a href="http://www.almphoto.com/" target="_blank">ALM </a><a href="http://www.almphoto.com/" target="_blank">Photo</a> blog. Wow. We've certainly worked on lots of great projects, photographed some beautiful weddings, covered some amazing events and captured lots of smiles; but sadly, you didn't see any of that here. For almost a whole year!<br />
<br />
Well, today's post is not very exciting, but I promise I'll share some actual photos and stories very soon. We've decided to sell a couple of our long lenses that we only use about once a year, if that. Yes, we've used them in the past, but the type of photography we've been doing for the last few years does not necessitate these lenses. We've been doing a lot of events, real estate photography and weddings and rarely these lenses get to come along. If you are interested in any (or all!) or these lenses, please contact Allan at 865-659-3273 or via <a href="mailto:allan@almphoto.com" target="_blank">email</a>. We can ship, but we'd prefer to arrange for pick up due to the delicate nature of the lenses.<br />

On a beautiful afternoon in May, Allan and I loaded up the photography gear and headed over to Crescent Bend Home and Gardens to photograph the models students from <a href="http://www.makeupmadeeasy.com/war-paint-academy/" target="_blank">War Paint Academy</a> were styling. There brides and bridesmaids galore as the models had their hair and makeup done by these talented students.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We had a blast wandering around <a href="http://www.crescentbend.com/" target="_blank">Crescent Bend</a>, finding unique settings and perfect light. Judy MacMillan runs the venue is an absolute delight to work with. We love spending time with her! If you are a bride looking for a wedding venue, please consider <a href="http://www.crescentbend.com/plan.html" target="_blank">Crescent Bend</a>. It is so beautiful and right on the river. </div>

<br />
A couple of months ago Allan and I photographed Ranee's litter of bulldog puppies and it was all we could do to walk away without one or two of these cuties stashed in our gear bag. As you scroll down, you'll see why! This is the second litter we've photographed for her and as usual there was a lot of wiggling, rolling, slobbering, frolicking, and loving. And that was just from me! Haha.<br />
<br />
Ready or not, here comes the cuteness!<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
Kristin Rae needed some promotional and headshot images and we may or may not have gotten a little carried away...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Super huge thanks to my Emory Place neighbors, Jamie Walker and Christian McNally of <a href="http://bangsandblush.com/" target="_blank">Bangs & Blush</a>, for the makeup, hair and wardrobe styling. And for letting us shoot on the delicious white loveseat. Teamwork!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I just wanted to share a few of the images because Kristin Rae is just so gorgeous and every woman should feel glamorous at least once in her life. If you'd like to feel glamorous, let me know and I'll rally the glam squad!</div>
<div>

Having the studio just around the corner from Bangs & Blush means we could just walk over to get a more dramatic look and take advantage of the gorgeous light spilling in through their large front windows. Perfect!</div>

<br />
<br />
Sometimes I like to share photos from a wedding and sometimes I like to make a fun slideshow with music. Today was a fun slideshow with music kind of day!<br />
<br />
<h3>
Love. Happiness. Chaos.</h3>
Allan and I photographed the wedding of Damaris and Pete on Memorial Day weekend at Concord Park in Knoxville, TN. It was a rather low-key affair with only close friends and family in attendance. They were attended by Pete's twin boys and Damaris's two children and as you can imagine, there was some chaos with all those kids. After the short, but super sweet ceremony (just wait until you see the photo of all the kids ogling them when they kissed!), everyone enjoyed a buffet, frosty cold beverages and of course wedding cake at the Keely's.<br />
<br />
Allan has known Damaris and her best friend, Wendy for many years going way back to his Precision Sports days when he'd host girl's day so ladies could wakeboard together without all the dudes. It was fun for us to get to know Pete better and we were thrilled to be a part of their special day not only as their photographers but as friends. Congratulations Damaris & Pete, you two are awesome and we wish you many years of love, happiness and chaos.<br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cfxb5oqr_8A/VX8NM2PS-DI/AAAAAAAABgU/TyK35_sBKK4/s1600/_X3A9969.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Eleanor McDonough, mountain biking, Tour Divide, trail dogs, Knoxville, TN, Musella Foundation" border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cfxb5oqr_8A/VX8NM2PS-DI/AAAAAAAABgU/TyK35_sBKK4/s400/_X3A9969.jpg" title="Eleanor McDonough is ready to ride the Tour Divide a 2745 mile bicycle race from Bannf, Alberta, Canada to Antelope Wells, NM." width="266" /></a></div>
<br />
Local Knoxville, Tennessee mountain biker Eleanor McDonough is participating in the Tour Divide race from Banff, Alberta, Canada to the US-Mexico border at Antelope Wells, NM. This 2745 mile bicycle race began on June 12, 2015, and will take self-supported riders through windswept valleys and mountain passes of the Continental Divide to the badlands of the Mexican Plateau. With a completion time of about 3 weeks, this race is well suited for the ultra-fit and those willing to get out of their comfort zone.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--tEIJ6NDk6s/VX8Lc9_iGeI/AAAAAAAABfs/U7AmCp-yLgc/s1600/_X3A9957.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Eleanor McDonough, mountain biking, Tour Divide, trail dogs, Knoxville, TN" border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--tEIJ6NDk6s/VX8Lc9_iGeI/AAAAAAAABfs/U7AmCp-yLgc/s400/_X3A9957.jpg" title="Eleanor McDonough training for the Tour Divide in Knoxville, TN" width="266" /></a></div>
<br />
Allan had the opportunity to photograph Eleanor (and her two adorable dogs) on the mountain bike trails near her home a few weeks before her departure to Bannf and I met her recently if ever so briefly, at the Appalachian Mountian Bike Club Epic Weekend at Big South Fork. Eleanor, or E as she is known to her close friends and supporters from the bicycle community, has been training intensely for this race and will require all of her energy to strategically ride the remote <a href="http://www.adventurecycling.org/routes-and-maps/adventure-cycling-route-network/great-divide-mountain-bike-route/" target="_blank">Great Divide Mountain Bike Route</a> safely, speedily and skillfully. She'll travel over pavement, gravel roads, four-wheel-drive roads, singletrack and old railroad beds achieving over 200,000 feet in elevation gain along the way. I encourage you to read the <a href="http://www.adventurecycling.org/routes-and-maps/adventure-cycling-route-network/great-divide-mountain-bike-route/" target="_blank">description of the trail route</a> as it is steeped in history and you will have a greater sense of the trials and tribulations riders are facing on this quest. Frigid nights, hot days and the possibility of bad weather are taken in stride.<br />

<br />

<br />
As a novice mountain biker and someone who has never logged 100 miles in one day on my bicycle, let alone every day for nearly one month, I am fascinated by the dedication and training of these riders. Females typically average around 93 miles a day with a completion time of just under 30 days. That's a lot of time in the saddle on long stretches of formidable terrain, alone, with only the supplies and resources you can carry on your bicycle! This is certainly not a race for the unprepared.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JvsibY-hwwA/VX8MhnTT2tI/AAAAAAAABgE/OrIeziUbLto/s1600/_X3A9904.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Eleanor McDonough, mountain biking, Tour Divide, trail dogs, Knoxville, TN, Musella Foundation" border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JvsibY-hwwA/VX8MhnTT2tI/AAAAAAAABgE/OrIeziUbLto/s400/_X3A9904.jpg" title="Preparation is an important part of the Tour Divide." width="266" /></a></div>
<br />
There are some very strict <a href="http://tourdivide.org/the_rules" target="_blank">rules</a> to this race and one is that no one aside from locals of the towns the ride passes through can have any interactions with participants and then it may only be brief. This is one of the reasons I find it so important to Eleanor's friends and family to have access to the tracking website so they can be there with her as best they can. Ever since hearing about Eleanor's ride I have tried to imagine myself taking the same journey and I can't fathom the amount of training and preparation she's gone through. She's in my thoughts as she traverses the country and makes her way south. Please keep her in yours as well.<br />

Allan and I are proud to be a part of the mountain biking community in East Tennessee and providing them with images to use on the marketing collateral for this campaign. If you're into mountain biking, we'd love to ride with you! Give us a call at 865.659.3273 or email us at lisa@almphoto.com and we'll hit the Urban Wilderness or Sharp's Ridge one day soon.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am also proud of the community support this campaign is receiving. So many people are posting the links and images on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram that it's almost all that is in my local social media feed. We're up against CA and MN, but as of right this moment we're leading our closest competitor by only 2000 points. We need to continue the momentum and keep adding votes, so I thank you in advance for yours. Please share this post or any of social media posts to help spread the word!<br /></div>

College graduation is a time to celebrate your success and your future. And it is also a time to get some great photographs to remember this fantastic time in your life! I wanted to share a few photos of Karlee, who recently graduated from the University of Tennessee, that I captured around Downtown Knoxville and on campus. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Karlee loved the dreamy look of sun flare, so we got a little crazy grabbing some fun shots! Enjoy!</div>

Allan and Lisa Mueller | ALM Photo | Knoxville, Tennesseehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14094816324461919176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774296120973772463.post-22959137419639630742015-05-12T19:27:00.000-04:002015-05-18T18:58:20.233-04:00Vote for Knoxville for the Bell Built Grant for an Urban Gravity Trail!<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">DIG THIS.</span></b><br />
<br />
As you may know, Allan and I are mountain bikers.<br />
<br />
(This is that awkward moment when I realize that I don't have a single photo of me or Allan on a mountain bike...because we're always the ones taking the photos! So, just pretend you can see a slick photo of me with sweat and mud covering my face, legs and arms as I careen, in complete control, down a steep, rocky trail. I look good, right?)<br />
<br />
Allan has been biking for years and I am relatively new to the sport but love learning to ride over rocks and roots, down hills and well, up hills too. If you live in Knoxville, you may know we have a fairly extensive trail system in the Urban Wilderness located near <a href="http://ijams.org/" target="_blank">Ijams Nature Center</a> in South Knoxville, IC King also in South Knoxville, Concord in West Knoxville as well as a growing number of trails at Sharps Ridge in North Knoxville.<br />
<br />

<br />
If you love to mountain bike, Knoxville has something for everyone, except a super-technical downhill gravity trail. And that's where the Bell Helmet's Bell-Built trailbuilding grant comes in. Bell, in association with International Mountain Bicycling Association (<a href="https://www.imba.com/" target="_blank">IMBA</a>), is awarding one $100,000 grant to fund the project for one of the nine semi-finalist's from the West coast, midwest and East coast. Knoxville, through its sponsor <a href="http://www.ambcsorba.com/" target="_blank">Appalachian Mountain Bike Club</a> (AMBC), is in the East coast semi-final round competing against Timber Trail in Alabama and Gorges Jump Line in North Carolina and voting ends on May 24th. The East coast semifinal winner will be announced and then another round of voting will determine the winner from the three semifinalists. So, when Knoxville wins, I'll be asking you to vote again to help make the dream of <a href="http://downtowndownhill.com/" target="_blank">#DowntownDownhill</a> come true! (The <a href="http://downtowndownhill.com/" target="_blank">Downtown Downhill website</a> has lots of social media friendly graphics and info to help you spread the word!)<br />

<br />
So, the whole point of this post is two-fold, first to clue you in to the awesomeness of Knoxville's mountain biking trail system and community and second, to ask you to vote for Knoxville for the #BellBuilt trailbuilding grant. It's really easy to vote and will only take a minute, and another minute to click on the confirmation email, so two minutes tops!<br />

<blockquote>
<b><a href="http://www.bellhelmets.com/bell-built" target="_blank">Please vote for Knoxville</a></b> and share this information with all of your friends whether they mountain bike or not. because 70,000 people make a living off of the outdoor industry in Tennessee, recreational bicycling is a $200 billion industry in the US, property values next to trails and greenways are up to 30% higher and for every dollar spend on bicycling tourism $7 is spent in the locations they visit.</blockquote>

On Saturday, February 28th, 2015, Knoxville's best of the best in advertising donned their finest threads and made their way to Downtown Hilton Hotel for a snow-free evening of photographs, food and well, you guessed it, awards at the <a href="http://www.knoxville50th.com/" target="_blank">50th Annual Gala for Knoxville's American Advertising Awards</a>.<br />
<br />
Allan was there photographing folks as they arrived and covered the awards ceremony too. There were a lot of our friends and acquaintances in attendance and Allan said I really should have come along to chat with everyone. Congratulations to all of the winners!<br />
<br />
If you would like to view/free download/purchase prints of the images from the event click <a href="http://almphoto.smugmug.com/Events/2015-ADDYs-by-the-Knoxville-1" target="_blank">here</a>. There are a lot of them!<br />

<b>Mountain biking is awesome. Enough said.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Allan has been mountain biking for many years and has been trying to get me on board with the sport for about 7+ years. This year I finally got the hang of it and have really been enjoying it. It helped that Allan took the clipless pedals off my bike and let me ride with flats. I'm less freaked out about crashing with my bike still attached to my feet!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Allan joined the <a href="http://ambc-sorba.org/" target="_blank">Appalachian Mountain Bike Club</a> last year to become more involved in the mountain biking community in East Tennessee and has worked a couple of trail work days with them, but Sunday was my first time swinging a hoe. It was a blast! I now want my own <a href="http://www.roguehoe.com/trailbuilding/trailbuilding.html" target="_blank">Rogue Hoe</a>!</div>

While Allan was wandering around taking all these awesome photos, I was swinging that hoe and meeting some really cool folks. There were a lot of people our age and older which was amazing. I love spending my time around people who don't think life ends at 40! And who love being outside doing physical activities.</div>

Nearly 50 people showed up at 9AM on a Sunday morning to work on the trails at <a href="http://www.outdoorknoxville.com/places/trails/north/sharps-ridge-memorial-park-trail" target="_blank">Sharps Ridge</a> in North Knoxville, about midway between Downtown and Fountain City. The good folks over at <a href="http://www.fcpedaler.com/" target="_blank">Fountain City Pedaler</a> provided a delicious lunch of tacos for us when we finished up about 11:30AM. Oh, and there was beer too! I was in heaven! </div>

Speaking of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fountain-City-Pedaler/285381680988?fref=nf" target="_blank">Fountain City Pedaler</a>, there was <a href="http://www.knoxnews.com/knoxville/life/heather-robinson-bike-shop-owner-works-to-blaze-trails-for-other-riders_01117424" target="_blank">an article in the News Sentinel</a> about Luke Grieve's involvement with trail building in Knoxville and the AMBC. Pretty cool! It was nice that they included one of Allan's photos in the story too.</div>

Eskimo Escapades is a fundraiser to benefit the <a href="http://www.eskimoescapades.org/" target="_blank">Eskimo Escapades Foundation</a> which supports Patricia Neal IRC, the Amputee Adventure Camp, and Dream Connection. This year wasn't as cold as usual which meant there were more wakeboarders, water skiers, and tubers taking the water for their lap around Ft. Loudon Lake. From my vantage point on Volunteer Landing, I was able to capture lots of photos of the riders on the lake with the 600mm lens and Allan got up close to the riders from one of the boats.<br />
<br />
We love being a part of this event and <a href="http://www.eskimoescapades.org/riders/" target="_blank">encourage you to volunteer</a>, sign up to ride or just tell your friends! This year's event has over 50 participants and raised over $10,000!<br />
<br />
Photos for free download are available <a href="http://almphoto.smugmug.com/Eskimo-Escapades/Eskimo-Escapades-free-download" target="_blank">here</a> and you may purchase prints <a href="http://almphoto.smugmug.com/Eskimo-Escapades/Eskimo-Escapades-2015-High" target="_blank">here</a>. All proceeds from the sale of prints goes back to <a href="http://www.eskimoescapades.org/" target="_blank">Eskimo Escapade Foundation</a>.<br />

Take a peek at all the fun!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">To be honest, it is not such an exciting story. I met Brandon at a party at his frat house five years ago when we were both students at UT. The reason I fell for him was because while all the other brothers were just hanging out he was riding around on a self-propelled skateboard. I just had to try it! That day he told me I was the girl he was going to marry. I, of course, thought he was crazy, but as it turns out he was right!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Book a venue that specializes in weddings. There is a lot more than I originally thought would go into the planning a wedding at the cabin. It would have been a lot less stressful to already have the venue take care of some things. Also enjoy your day: eat the cake, dance until your legs give out, and understand that crazy things will happen. It will make for a funny story later, like the police showing up, the groom falling in the river and maids of honor losing their children, just as a few examples. LOL! Also, I would highly recommend hiring a professional photographer! I hardly had a chance to enjoy all the work and care that went into planning the wedding and getting to see the pictures was like getting to enjoy it all over again, but at a slower pace. Plus you get to see the things you missed on your wedding day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">By far, my dress was my favorite purchase. I originally thought I wanted a big puffy dress, but my sister picked out the all silk, slim fit mermaid style at White Lace and Promises and when I put it on everyone cried. I had to have it, but it was way out of my price range, so my amazing sister bought it for me for my wedding present! I don't think there could have been a more perfect dress. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">My accessories were just found pieces except the bracelet I wore, which was actually my present to my mother. It was the first piece of jewelry my father ever bought for my mother. During a rough patch of life they began selling everything they had and she told me to keep it safe and I held on to it. She had forgotten about it and thought it was gone forever. The bracelet also served as my something borrowed that day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The groomsmen were a bit more difficult. Brandon wanted to keep it inexpensive for them as well, so he just told them to find khaki pants and a navy blazer. Not a good idea! The day before the wedding, three of the groomsmen still did not have pants or a blazer, fortunately Brandon's mother predicted as much and came prepared with plenty of extra jackets and pants. She also came prepared with a matching outfit for her youngest son which came in handy when we had to sub him into the wedding party because one of the other groomsmen did not show up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I have a very talented friend who played the ceremony music for us as our wedding present. The processional was ‘Walk in the Forest’ by Yiruma, the bridal march was ‘Canon in D Minor’ because it always makes me cry and I wanted just a touch of traditional essence to the ceremony. And exit song was Brian Crain's ‘Song for Sienna’. Our first dance was to Jason Mraz's ‘I Won't Give Up’. We chose that song because to us, it says a lot about growing together through our shortcomings and hard times and always holding onto each other for support. I think it was the perfect song. It was sung by Brandon's long time friend, Robby who came from Alabama to play the first 3 hours of our wedding.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">My whole wedding was one giant DIY project! I would say it was difficult and frustrating but now that is it over I am starting to miss all the late night crafting. My favorite and most noteworthy craft project was the mason jars I gave away as wedding gifts. They all had chalkboard paint on them so guests could write their name on them. I painted blue glitter on the bottoms of each one and I made 7 types of toppers that went around the rim of the glass. I used everything from lace to string to beads and flowers to make them unique and special. I also made ones with bow ties for the groomsmen. Each jar also had a matching top with “this is your glass for the night, write your name so it stays in sight, then fill up with whatever tastes right” on it. Another noteworthy project was the makeshift photo booth. We made the backdrop (which looked much better before transportation and children running through it) of over 700 pieces of wax paper attached to strings. This alone took me over 25 hours to make. It was really just something I wanted to try. I also made all the props- glued on pearls, lace and glitter for accents and attached them to sticks. Other details include: <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Our honeymoon was perfect we went to Mexico in Riviera Maya just outside of Playa del Carmen. We swam with turtles, toured the Mayan ruins and ate and drank enough for a small army. It was perfect, considering we did not book the trip until Monday and we left on Tuesday.

Allan and Lisa Mueller | ALM Photo | Knoxville, Tennesseehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14094816324461919176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774296120973772463.post-6151898391427424472014-08-21T14:16:00.001-04:002014-10-14T18:16:17.573-04:00Damir Ludvig | Croatian DJ spins Knoxville aroundSometimes you spend more time working in your business than on your business and you get behind on the blogging...<br />
<br />
The next few posts are going to catch you up on what Allan and I have been photographing since June. Just a little travelling back in time to revisit some really awesome events and people we had the opportunity to photograph. As you know, a lot of what we photograph is <a href="http://almphoto.com/#!/page/117182/-commercial-" target="_blank">commercial work</a> that for one reason or another we either can't share or we have to wait to share which means that sometimes I forget. Or we have these rather long periods of time when there isn't much in the way of photographs to share.<br />
<br />
So coming up in the next few posts you'll see of the awesomeness that is the <a href="http://www.knoxvillefilms.com/k24hff-2014-winners/" target="_blank">Knoxville 24 Hour Film Festival </a>and the <a href="http://www.knoxvillefilms.com/festival411/" target="_blank">Knoxville Film and Music Festival</a>, both of which took place in June, as well as some of the road bike competitions Allan has covered.<br />
<br />
PS... we might even travel back a little further and share images from some of our commercial and real estate shoots. And maybe even some personal stuff, like how we've fallen in love with bicycle riding.<br />
<br />
Without any further ado, here are some images we captured of <a href="https://soundcloud.com/djludvig" target="_blank">Damir Ludvig a Croatian DJ</a> who was representing the folks who created the film Papaya: Make Some Noise, a film about a beach club that will have you wanting to book a flight to Croatia. Find out more about Damir and the film in this <a href="http://scruffingtonpost.com/2014/06/10/now-playing-papaya-make-some-noise-w-the-knoxville-film-and-movie-festival/" target="_blank">article on Scruffingtonpost.com</a>. Damir wanted some images of him in and around Knoxville and we took him to a couple of spots where we could capture the iconic Sunsphere in the background. He was a lot of fun and I had the pleasure of hanging out with him a couple of nights during the Knoxville Film and Music Festival. I also did a little dancing while he was DJing at <a href="http://scruffingtonpost.com/" target="_blank">Scruffy City Hall</a> one night. That was a lot of fun!<br />

A full day of exciting events, including an auction, river boat ride, horse show and race betting; take place around the running of the <a href="http://www.kentuckyderby.com/" target="_blank">Kentucky Derby</a>. Thankfully the rain stayed away this year, and Allan captured everyone arriving on the red carpet. This is a fun event for us to photograph because we are encouraged to enjoy ourselves and enjoy the delicious buffet, taste tempting desserts like horse-churned ice cream and Derby pie, as well as traditional Derby Day drinks. I still don't like a Mint Julep, but this year I tried <a href="http://www.kentuckyale.com/" target="_blank">Kentucky Ale</a> and it was tasty.<br />
<br />
Oh, and you can't forget the fashion! Everyone is decked out in their finest Kentucky Derby garb for this party and there is a ladies hat contest and best-dressed man contest as well.<br />
<br />
Here are some of our favorite images from the day. We love photographing events and would love to hear from you if you have an event needing coverage.<br />

Allan and Lisa Mueller | ALM Photo | Knoxville, Tennesseehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14094816324461919176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774296120973772463.post-14714124184561396442014-05-01T11:33:00.001-04:002014-06-19T19:13:05.702-04:00War Paint Academy Wedding Workshop | Hair, Makeup and Wedding Dresses!Last month Allan and I headed out to <a href="http://castletonfarms.com/" target="_blank">Castleton Farms</a> in Loudon, Tennessee to assist with <a href="http://www.christianmcnally.com/" target="_blank">Christian McNally</a>'s <a href="https://www.facebook.com/WarPaintAcademy" target="_blank">War Paint Academy</a> Wedding Workshop. Christian wanted the makeup artists, hair stylists and models to have amazing photographs of the finished 'looks' for their portfolios and for critiques. We had a blast working with everyone! There were quite a few models and each was styled into two looks, most with wedding dresses, some with casual wear and all with stunning makeup and hair.<br />
<br />
If you have never had the occasion to visit <a href="https://www.facebook.com/castleton.farms.9?fref=ts" target="_blank">Castleton Farms</a>, it is a gorgeous wedding and event venue nestled between deep green forests and secluded behind a huge gate well off the beaten path. Around the property there are several vignettes for holding events and weddings from intimate to large, indoor and outdoor, but all beautifully appointed and perfectly manicured.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.christianmcnally.com/#s=0&mi=2&pt=1&pi=10000&p=4&a=0&at=0" target="_blank">War Paint Academy</a> workshop was held in the barn, which is a stately building fitted with fabulous amenities, including a men's lounge for groom and his groomsmen to hang out in before his wedding. We photographed the models in and around the barn so we could be sure to capture images of each and every one without a lot of trekking around. The light coming in the end of the bar through the giant doors was, in a word, amazing. And the lightly dappled shade under the gazebo beyond the barn was fabulous too. Some photographers find it extremely challenging to work with changing and/or natural light, but we embrace it. We had reflectors on hand and would have loved to have brought some lights, but time was a constraint, and to be honest, many of the images look as though we did use lights.<br />
<br />
Here are some of my favorites from the day and there is a link to all of the images at the bottom of this post in case you would like to see more. We'd love to work with you if you or your business needs this type of event/workshop coverage or if you just need some fresh and fabulous images for your website and social media platforms.

Spectacular grounds. Beautiful building.</b><br />
<br />
Crescent Bend House and Gardens is a historical property located on Kingston Pike in Knoxville, Tennessee that is now a fabulous wedding and event venue. It's history is fascinating and can be found <a href="http://www.crescentbend.com/about.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Allan and I have had the pleasure of photographing Crescent Bend's <a href="http://almphoto.smugmug.com/Events/Crescent-Bend-Derby-Day-2013" target="_blank">Derby Day</a> event for the last few years and we will be back again this year on May 3rd. We've also been invited to participate in 'A Taste of Crescent Bend' event featuring vendors such as photographers, videographers, tuxedo rental, entertainment bookers, florists, officiants, local hotels and caterers. <a href="http://www.mastgeneralstore.com/communities/kv/" target="_blank">Mast General Store</a> was there with a candy display too! Who doesn't love a "candy bar" at a wedding? Couples who have booked the venue for their nuptials are invited to meet the vendors and ask questions to help make some of the most important decisions for their special day. It's the perfect opportunity for them to 'sample' the people offering their services as well as the food. And yes, there was cake!<br />

We enjoyed being a part of this event that featured lively music from <a href="http://www.ogleentertainment.com/index2.php#/home/" target="_blank">Ogle Entertainment</a>, stunning floral decorations by <a href="http://www.alwaysinbloomtn.com/" target="_blank">Always in Bloom</a> {the peachy orange and violet combination was gorgeous!}, delicious food by <a href="http://www.alloccasioncatering.com/" target="_blank">All Occasion Catering</a> and wine from <a href="http://www.corkstn.com/site/" target="_blank">Corks Wine and Spirits</a>. {Side note: I'm not much a wine drinker but the Moscato they were serving as divine!}<br />

<br />
One of our favorite parts of the event is seeing our fellow photographers and getting to catch up with them in a relaxing environment. It's always fun to see Joe and Kathleen Atkins of <a href="http://www.jophotoonline.com/" target="_blank">JoPhoto</a>, one of the few husband and wife photography teams in Knoxville besides Allan and I. Meeting Ben Moser of <a href="http://knoxweddingphoto.com/" target="_blank">Knox Wedding Creative</a> in person was a highlight of the day, as was chatting with Bill Waldorf of <a href="http://www.waldorfphotographicart.com/" target="_blank">Waldorf Photographic Art</a>. Bill's an inspiration and an appreciator of art. And I'm not just saying that because he commissioned me to create a fused glass bowl for his wife.<br />

I'm good at finding a place to hang out, sit in the sun and read a book. Or enjoy a Bloody Mary. {Not a Ober Gatlinburg, but at <a href="http://www.beavercreek.com/the-mountain/on-mountain-dining.aspx" target="_blank">Beaver Creek</a> in CO. Perfect way to enjoy a day on the slopes as far as I'm concerned!}<br />

Well, Allan asked me to come along to photograph the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1426933754219431/" target="_blank">Spring Fling</a> on Sunday, March 9th and I gave in. And I am glad I did! It was a lot of fun, the weather was amazing and everyone had a great time competing in the various events and participating in the much anticipated pond skimming. Yes, pond skimming. The idea was to skim across the pond {more like a small pool} and get to the other side without taking a dip. The majority of the participants made it across. A few, not so much.<br />

We arrived early in order to get a good parking spot so we didn't have to lug our photography gear uphill then we set about figuring out where all the events would be held and what time they would begin. Then we ran into our friend Joe Thompson. Joe, along with his awesome wife Kelli, is instrumental in organizing one of our favorite charities to photograph, Eskimo Escapades. Joe had brought along a couple of <a href="http://www.snowfunbikes.com/index.php" target="_blank">SnowBikes</a> to ride and talked Allan into taking one for a spin. It didn't take much to convince Allan to do this because he loves anything fast and kind of sketchy. Think mountain biking meets motorcycle racing...<br />
<br />

<br />
Allan had skied up to the photograph first event of the day, Giant Slalom, while I stayed at the bottom and chatted with Joe. Then it was time for the Big Air contest and I trudged up the mountain {carrying Allan's heavy equipment bag just in case he took a break from snowbiking for photography} and captured most of the event. I wasn't paying attention to the schedule and missed some of the competitors. The last event we shot was the pond skimming. You have to see the photos to appreciate this event! In between events there was some lively competition between the ski school instructors and the ski patrol. The ski school instructors won the overall competition and were awarded a golden ski boot at the awards ceremony where Ober Gatlinburg was excited to announce they had been open 100 days this season. Sweet!<br />

<br />
We will be back next year to shoot the events in the Terrain Park and Spring Fling. Yes, we. I loved it and it was kind of like a date for Allan and I, spending the day together doing something we both love. Here are some photos from the day and you can also find all of the images available for free download <a href="http://almphoto.smugmug.com/Ober-Gatlinburg/Spring-Fling-Ober-Gatlinburg" target="_blank">here</a> and on our Facebook page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152167090709130.1073741869.23892719129&type=1" target="_blank">here</a> and via the box below.

And of course, Oscar himself was gracing the Red Carpet, posing with attendees and trying to stand tall. {Oscar was a little tipsy and kept falling over!} This is the only fundraising event KFMF conducts to raise funds for the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/KnoxvilleFilmandMusicFestival" target="_blank">Film and Music Festival</a> events running between June 1st and 14th.<br />

<b>{ON A SIDE NOTE}</b><br />
Allan and I have participated in the K24HFF each year. The first year we just provided some photography coverage of the event, but the last four years we've been more involved, photographing all of the events as well as participating on teams and even having our own team together last year. It's a lot of fun! If you're interested in being our team this year, send me an email to lisa@kittyfantastic.com. Also, visit the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TeamKittyFantastic" target="_blank">Team Kitty Fantastic Facebook page</a> to stay up-to-date.<br />

With temperatures in the mid 60's this past weekend, most folks might have hauled their bicycles or motorcycles out of the garage and gone for a spin, but not Allan. Allan loaded the Prius up with his camera gear, tossed in his skis and boots and hit the road for <a href="http://www.gatlinburg.com/" target="_blank">Gatlinburg</a>. Allan goes up to the slopes as often as possible to take photographs of the action in the terrain park. It gives him to a chance to get some skiing or snowboarding in as well as connect with friends he's known since his days as a ski racer, working at Alpine Ski Center and when he had his own winter/water sports shop, Precision Sports in the Karns community.<br />

He said the weather was great and everyone had a fabulous time. Except for Nathan Phillips, owner of <a href="http://www.theboardroomknoxville.com/" target="_blank">The Board Room</a>. Apparently Nathan tumbled while snowboarding and injured his shoulder and missed the Sunday Session excitement. If you are in Knoxville and need winter sports gear, visit Nathan's <a href="https://www.facebook.com/THEBOARDROOMINC?ref=br_tf" target="_blank">shop</a>. He's a really great guy and he'll probably be hanging out in the shop recovering for a while.<br />
<br />
We'll both be at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/oberfreestyle" target="_blank">Ober Gatlinburg</a> on March 9th for the Spring Fling. It's the last event of the season! And if you are like me and not a skier or snowboarder there are lots of other things to do at Ober, like <a href="http://www.obergatlinburg.com/restaurants-shops/ski-mtn-sports/" target="_blank">eat and shop</a>.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the awesome photos Allan captured Sunday. Lots of flips, jumps and crazy outfits! He'll be posting them on our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ALMPHOTO" target="_blank">ALM Photo Facebook page</a> and they are on our <a href="http://almphoto.smugmug.com/Ober-Gatlinburg/Sunday-Session-Feb-23-2014/i-F9bJ6hq" target="_blank">SmugMug site</a> too. Be sure to tag your friends on FB and share the photos!<br />
