Classy Wedding This Weekend!

Candace and Barrett Boatright's wedding was followed by a reception at the Boatright Farm, complete with a large tent with several sitting areas for guests! The weather threatened, but in the end, the event went off without a hitch as friends and family enjoyed the celebration.

Great Thought for the Day

Adorable Lindsey!

Meet Lindsey...she's studying acting in California and I was fortunate to photograph her during a visit to NC!

Incredible Sunset!

This sky was just amazing...took this on our last trip south earlier this month!

Winter Wedding

This adorable couple were great sports, especially considering the fact that the wind chill was about 3 below for their January 9th wedding at The Farm in Candler!

Happy Family

Had a wonderful time photographing this lovely family...even the little man enjoyed the time we spent at the Golf Club!

Families Are Precious!

Families...while none are perfect, all are special! Our family had a wonderful gathering of the clan this Christmas and were all very thankful that our wonderful Mother could still read us a special story, despite her broken leg! While some whine that "Our families know which buttons to push because they installed them", others of us are grateful that we've lived long enough to understand that each of us must accept PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for how we respond to any button-pushing (if we even call it that!) We wish all families a wonderful and prosperous NEW YEAR!

The Blizzard of '09!

We're snowed in here in western North Carolina...storm arrived early on Friday am and we awoke to several inches of snow. The snow continued on Friday; by Saturday, we had nearly 20 inches! Beautiful, but very confining for us as we're at the top of a small mountain, so we've practiced patience and made a very long list of things to buy before this happens again!!

Christmas Cheer

City Hall in Waycross looked especially festive this holiday season. Thanks to all those whose efforts resulted in this lovely scene!

Santa Paws

Here's my nephew's "baby boy" Huck, ready for Santa's visit!

Bubbles!

They just don't get any cuter than this! And he's such a sweetie! (Thanks, D!)

Five Generations

This photo includes the hands of great-great-grandmother, great-grandmother, grandmother, mother and two daughters...a special image for a special group of ladies!

Traveling Buddies

Meet Marlene and Craig, our traveling buddies!

Montana Trip

We had the great fortune to travel to Ennis, Montana, with friends and enjoyed the hospitality of my brother and SIL...visited Virginia City & Yellowstone, among others.

Biscuits with Grandparents

Poppy and I had a wonderful visit with our granddaughter Ellie when we attended Biscuits with Grandparents Day at her school. Here's our adorable princess!

Waynesville NC Studio Ribbon Cutting

Our Ribbon Cutting was well-attended by friends and Chamber members...we especially appreciate Donnie & Sue driving in from south Georgia to join us and take this photo!

Beautiful Couple!

Nikki and Ryan were absolutely fantastic to photograph...we wish them much happiness for the rest of their lives!

In Our Neighborhood...

This old wreck has been where it sits for many years, obviously! Here's one of our neighbor's pet turkeys, posing for the camera; he has a pair that he raised with hens after finding the eggs in his field.

Here's an artistic version of a classic car I photographed at a car show in Maggie Valley...hot and sunny, but beautiful up here as always!

Cataloochee

Honored to be invited to paint with a group of artists at the home of one special lady at Cataloochee Ranch...what amazing views and fantastic weather!! Thanks, J!
