2014 was mind-boggling! I saw parts of the world I’ve only DREAMED about – Hawaii and Italy! I photographed some of the most beautiful weddings and shared so many heartfelt moments with sweet souls! It was a pretty big year for growth – emotionally and professionally – and I’m absolutely thrilled to see what 2015 has in store! I personally love setting goals (large and small), so these lists are always fun for me to do! Here’s what I have my fingers crossed for (and commentary on last year’s hopefulutions).
2014 Resolutions
- Travel (yep, still on the list haha)
- Expand WRS (new studio, possible lab, introduce new ideas)
- Start a band with Andy
- Take a train to NOLA (leaving this on the list)
- Expand Vertical House Records
- Make more time for gardening
- Construct a greenhouse or implement cold frames
- Publish a photo book
- Visualize and execute 3-5 styled sessions
- Capture at least 2 destination weddings
- Visit the PNW
- Learn a new camera system

Here’s a collection of miscellaneous adventures in November! Beautiful scenery, cats, drinks, JONATHAN RICHMAN (again, November wins with shows), and tidbits from an INCREDIBLE styled shoot I was lucky to capture at Hardy Chambers Farmhouse! You can see the film images here!
Beautiful Jones Valley

Man, November was a GREAT month for music! Reigning Sound in Nashville and then Wreckless Eric at our very own Yellowhammer! Wahoo! Everyone got hammered, sang along, “danced”, took selfies with Eric, and ended up taking the shit show downtown. It was SO much fun! Can’t wait to see what Yellowhammer and Straight to Ale do with their new space!

This is a tiny post to just exclaim how awesome Tannehill State Park is! I had an awesome engagement session there (see film photos here) one lovely Fall afternoon! I had never been there, but it’s so pretty! I’m hoping to return one day and be able to explore the entire property – here are just a few snaps while I was “scouting” before my clients arrived.
DEER!
Amber and Jordan brought their sweet kitty to their engagement session – first time having a cat at the shoot! MORE PLEASE!

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and I was stoked to play Tiara Twinkles in the Pizza Party Massacre show at Lowe Mill this year! It’s a macabre version of an animatronic (a la Show Biz style) show. It was an absolute blast to in – even with the tight masks and odd costumes. The set and costumes were made from mostly some sort of foam core, but it was absolutely insane to see it all come together! We had three weekends of performances (three shows a night) and a great crowd at every one! I can’t wait to see what madness Matt comes up with for 2015!
so sad that it’s over!

ATL 29.10.
I had the WONDERFUL privilege of photographing dear friends tie the knot in a TREEHOUSE in the middle of downtown Atlanta! It was truly remarkable and an absolute dream! You can check out the full wedding on film here – below are the instasnaps from our quick outing in Atlanta!
