I love my clients. Have I said that before? That’s because I mean it. I have the best clients in the world and Lori and Eric are no exception. I loved hanging out with them. We had been rescheduling trying to find a day that worked for all of us and was NOT raining. It took a while but we finally got it done and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome! Some of my favorite images I’ve ever taken are below. I hope you all enjoy!
A cool photo for cool clients!
Love this photo!
Showing Lori’s fun side!
One of my favorites!
Love it!
I took this photo accidently when I was lowering my camera and absolutely nothing in the photo is in focus but for some reason I love it! There’s just something so compelling about it that pulls me in.
Hello…
Chattanooga skyline…
Gorgeous. I guess I’m becoming known for lines because Lori knew exactly what was on my mind when I pointed them to this location. haha
A goodbye group shot!
Thank you again for such a wonderful time! Can’t wait till your wedding in September! We’re going to have a blast! (Lets be praying for cooler weather!)

I’m so excited about getting this wedding up! Hope and Chad got married on a very hot day a couple of weeks ago and although it was so hot we enjoyed ourselves immensely. We started off at Hair-a-go-go in north Chattanooga and went down the street to Elea Blake for makeup! I love hanging out in these places because 1) the people are so friendly there and 2) they are fantastic places to take photos. Loved it! Here are some pics of Hope getting ready for her big day!
Darin Wright did a wonderful job on Hope’s makeup. Don’t know what she puts in her makeup but Hope looked fantastic all day long despite everyone else being drenched in sweat!
The beautiful gown:
Chad and his guys:
Many thanks for my good friend Kellie for coming out and helping out with the shooting! She did an incredible job!
Hope looked absolutely beautiful in her wedding dress! Love this picture!
Hope’s girls helping her around, all the while making sure Chad doesn’t see her before the wedding. They did a great job!
Newly married. Husband and wife!
Love this photo of them on the porch of the house on the property. Beautiful.
Utilizing a random bathtub that was out in the middle of nowhere. Love adventurous brides because it turned out stunning!
As usual, Ahmed did an incredible job on the cake.
The send-off and the excited new Mrs. Shores!
Hope and Chad, thank you again for allowing me the opportunity to be with you guys all day on your wedding! I had a blast and I hope you enjoy your photos!
I got to spend a couple of hours with David, Tami, Preston and Hudson on Thursday. I’ve known them for a while now and even photographed their new born son Hudson in the hospital a couple years ago. We were first going to do this session in October of last year but postponed it till it got warmer. Well, it definitely got warmer! It had to have been 98 degrees outside! But we still had a lot of fun fishing and riding four wheelers. Enjoy some of my favorite pics below!
Hudson hasn’t quite grasped the concept of fishing yet but he loves to use the pole for digging around the muck. haha
My best “Andy Griffith Show” impression…
We then went 4 wheeling! Woot!
Love Hudsons face in this picture as he watches his parents kiss. haha
Then it was swimming time!
Love this picture! Look how high Preston is!
To end the session, we allowed the kids to play and I took David and Tami for a mini “we did” session. They did a great job!
Thanks again for letting me document your family! I really enjoyed it! Enjoy your photos!
