Photo Booth at Knoxville Creative Hands Street Team Show & Sale - November 5-7

ALM Photo will be setting up a studio at the Knoxville Creative Hands Street Team Fall | Holiday Show & Sale this weekend and doing mini-sessions at no charge. The only cost to you is if you choose to order prints, Christmas cards, other printed products or download digital files. This is a great opportunity to get the family, your friends, or even your furry or feathered friends in front of the camera and get some great images to give as gifts or put on greeting cards. All images will be placed on-line for viewing and purchase shortly after the event.

Fresh Fine Art Photography :: The Etsy Shop is Open {ALM Photo | Knoxville Professional Photographers}

:: Lotus ::

ALM Photo has opened a shop on Etsy featuring an ever-changing collection of fine art photography. Etsy is an on-line artist's marketplace for buying and selling all things handmade. Our other artistic venture, Sassy Glass Studio, also has a shop on Etsy which does quite well considering the short amount of time it has been open. We opened the fine art photography shop as a retail outlet for our personal work. Please take a moment and click here to check it out. The shop is admittedly a little empty at the moment but more images will be added over the next few weeks. We wanted to get the word out as soon as it was open.

Be sure to bookmark the shop so you can check back often.

ALM Photo is putting the finishing touches on the reimaging and will be making a big announcement in a day or two. Stay tuned for more information!
