Maury Hills Halloween

We had such a good time at the Maury Hills Halloween Party. My two favorite were BUZZ Lightyear and the Princess below (aka Jacob and Maddie my kids) . There were alot of cute kids in costume and some adults that got into the mix too. Notable notables that attend were as follows and pictured below. President and Mrs. Obama arrived with a contingent of Secret Service men. Lady Gaga arrived with Barbie. Both were dressed appropriately for the family event. Thank you ladies. And finally my favorite Eli and Peyton Manning showed up. They were able to still be friends even after the drubbing the Colts gave the Giants just weeks ago. Proof of God's loving spirit of forgiveness.

Brittney Hodge Senior Pics : Amber Falls Winery

Shooting on location around Hampshire has been my deal this year. I get so bored shooting the same things everyday. One of the new locations I use is Amber Falls Winery. If you haven't been there the grounds are absolutely gorgeous. And the wine is great to. Brittney Hodge and her parents accompanied me to Amber Falls Winery to shoot the pics seen here. Brittney was the Homecoming Queen from Mt. Pleasant TN if you couldn't tell that from the sash. Enjoy the pics.

Sara Reed Senior Pics

Sara and her mom came for her Senior Pics during our Fall Break Event. We did some at our studio and then did a shoot off site at a farm nearby. She was fun to shoot and looked natural in front of the camera.

Second Amendment Senior Shoot

I dubbed this the Second Amendment Senior Shoot. Chelsie Crowell brought her mom , dad and cousin along for her shoot. Dad provided the revolver and rifle seen in the pics. Gotta love the country. The Crowell's are becoming like family. We've shot her brother Kyle's senior pics and her nephew Lucas during Easter and for his newborn pics.
Chelsie didn't want her Senior Pics to look just like her brother's so we went to a nearby farm to add some variety. I constantly try to find new locations to shoot so my work doesn't look all the same. I love getting out of the studio. The pics of the creek swing and the truck are however at our studio. The dog in the truck with Chelsie is Lula out new pup. No animals were harmed during this shoot but Chelsie did sustain a couple of scratches from Lula's puppy nails.
I enjoyed our shoot together and it was good to see the Crowell family again. Thanks guys .

Dalton and Nakiesha Papajeski

One of the biggest compliments a customer can give you is return business. It tells me the customer was happy with our work. Last year Darla Helton brought her daughter Nakiesha for her senior pictures. We had a great time and took some great pics. This year Darla brought her son Dalton for his Senior pictures. Not wanting his pics to look just like Nakiesha's we went off site to a friends farm for some of his pics. We had a nice shoot with Dalton on the farm and then came back here for the rest. Nakiesha was the only girl to have her pics made with Melanie the Mustang pre paint job. Actually pre seats and interior too. Thanks Darla for trusting us with your kid's senior pics. It was so nice to meet you guys. Oh and by the way seniors. This farm and other farms I use are in Hampshire so there is not extra charge for these locations. We also use a pond nearby and we will soon be using the grounds of the Amber Falls Winery here in Hampshire.

Emily Thompson Senior Shoot

Saturday I had a great time shooting with Emily Thompson from Santa Fe school. I also got to meet the whole family. Emily brought her mom, two aunts and grandmother. They were all very nice ladies indeed. The ladies in waiting for Emily. The two aunts did the hair and make-up. Mom made sure Emily's clothes were straight and grandmother supervised. We had a great time. Thanks ladies

Dustin and Beth

Wedding's come in all shapes, sizes and flavors. And the flavor of Dustin and Beth's wedding was completely casual. No shoes, No tie, No Problem. Beth , my wife's cousin, has always been an individual so we knew their wedding would be unique. The super cool casual wedding dress was made by my wife's step- mom. This is the third family member's wedding I've done and they are always a blast. I love when family members trust me with their big day.
Dustin and Beth were great to work with. Very relaxed and ready to try anything. Thanks guys for helping me make some original images.
Oh by the way . The dog in their picture is like their child. He actually carried their ring down the isle for them.
He didn't wear a tie of shoes either.
Want to see more of their wedding. Friend me ( Jon Amonette) on Facebook. I've posted more there.
