A Mike Manning Original, of sorts.

October 31, 2008 – 4:26 pm

Ok, well, let me explain. I bought that cool chair at a sale Mike Manning was having last weekend at his studio. Love the lines and color of it! I just knew it was perfect for this senior’s session. Everybody sits on chairs so why not be cutting edge, lol, and STAND on it? Thanks for the chair and the inspiration Mike!

The Price of Peace

October 27, 2008 – 3:46 pm

I recently photographed The Gaddis Girls. You can see some of the images on their website HERE! They have just completed their latest song, “The Price of Peace”. You can hear it HERE!

The song was written by Alyssa and co-written by a Nashville writer, Hart Steen. The girls recorded it last month at Creative Caffeine Studios in Nashville, TN.

This song is especially important to their family because it was written as a Tribute Song to families and friends of Military members. The Price of Peace is about the waiting and wondering what family members face while their loved ones are deployed and serving away from home. It’s not political or controversial, it’s just reality.

“Wow, he totally looks like a model in a MAGAZINE!”

October 26, 2008 – 12:36 pm

That is a comment that I get so often. “You make seniors look like MODELS!” or “They look like they just came out of a magazine!” I hear those too. Apparently, this is why…
