Studio Closed October 24 - November 2

In between a packed spring / summer wedding season and a packed fall / winter wedding season, I have a little break scheduled. I am off to Dallas to study with the International Wedding Photographer of the Year for a couple of days. And, I am so excited about that. Then I get a little spa retreat. I will process any orders received this week when I return on November 3rd. Any sessions that have not been posted before I leave, will also be posted when I return. If you have not received an order you placed prior to this week, it means fed-ex just has not delivered it yet - so I will get with you as soon as I return. Phone calls and emails will be returned as soon as I renew and refresh on this little vacation. Have an awesome week! - Cheryl

The Baileys


Talk about a beautiful family! I was so excited to get to go to their home and capture some lifestyle family portraits. We focused on one of Rydder's favorite things...reading his books. He is just too adorable for words. I love those big curls and brown eyes. Here are my favorites:









I seriously could just bring Rydder home with me. Thanks guys for letting me invade your home and capture these images for you. - Cheryl

Thamail, Cave City High School Sr of 2010


Here is a guy with a lot going for him. Of course the obvious is his ability on the football field. But his magnetic personality, charm, and million-dollar smile are at the top of my list. You can catch Thamail on Friday nights tearing up the football field. I was glad we could carve out a little time last night to photograph his senior style session. Here are my favorites:











Thamail, you have a bright future waiting for you and lots of big decisions. I wish you nothing but the best as you graduate and go out into the world! - Cheryl

Hanna and Cory e-session in Memphis


I drove over to Memphis this past weekend to photograph Hanna and Cory's engagement portraits. Just before we hung out and had lunch at Quetzel's, one of my favorite haunts in Memphis. Yummiest coffee in Memphis! We took advantage of Artist Alley just down from the deli, and then headed over to Beale Street and the Waterfront. I love the grunge of the alley and the metro feel to the downtown shots. Here are my favorites:














It seems like forever ago when we met at the first of the year to plan for your wedding. I think you picked an excellent location for your portraits. Now it will seem like forever until your October 2010 wedding! Hope to see you guys soon. - Cheryl

Jordan - NHS Senior of 2010


I love that seniors these days want to use different backgrounds and locations to make their senior portraits unique. Jordan and her dad scouted out some great locations. But, we ran out of sunlight before we ran out of locations. So, there will be a part 2 to her senior portraits in a few weeks. I had a lot of fun shooting her session and look forward to the next installment of ideas and locations. Here are my favorites (I love the awesome sunset we had):












Jordan, thanks for spending the afternoon with us. I love how your portraits came out. And, even though it got too dark to shoot, I think the sunset portraits were worth it. Thanks, Scott for driving us around! - Cheryl
