My niece Amber and her family were over for photos earlier this week.  Drew is leaving for Afghanistan soon and they wanted some family photos before he left.  I'm sure he will be missed a lot by everyone and a big thank you to him for serving our country!

I was in Nashville Tennessee last week attending Imaging USA, a photography conference I go to each year.  Even though the weather was the same there as here . . . COLD, we had a great time.  So many good speakers and tons of new ideas.  Nothing better than hanging out with a group of photographers and talking photography for a whole week!!  We did squeeze in a tour of the city and stopped at the Ryman Auditorium and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.  The tradeshow was held at Gaylord Opryland, which was unbelievable!  And no trip to Nashville would be complete without a trip downtown to hear some good old country music!

I got together with Hailey and her family to do senior photos and a few family photos last week.  They were very fun to work with and we had a great time. Hailey is an adorable girl and here is a slideshow of her photos.

A couple of weeks ago I was in Florida helping my good friend Doreen Kline photograph a double Indian wedding.  We started out with photos of the girls getting the traditional henna on their hands.  It was amazing to watch all the work and detail that went into the tattooing process.  After the henna paste dries, it flakes off and leaves a beautiful design on the skin which can last up to several weeks. The girls and a majority of the guests looked beautiful in their colorful sari's.  Lots more photos of the wedding to come.

I got together with Nate & Brie and their adorable boys for some family photos.  Wow, talk about beautiful brown eyes!  They were great to work with.  Here is a slideshow of the rest of their photos.
