Christa and David | Anytime
October 4th, 2008 | Published in Misc., engagement, lifestyle | 6 Comments
Corey McNabb, my buddy and Asheville wedding photographer extraordinaire and Amber Holritz, one of our best friends and leading authority on baby lifestyle photography held one of their awesome Rockstar workshops here in Chattanooga that Heather and I were fortunate to attend. We had a great time. I babysat Alana so that Heather wouldn’t be distracted. She learned a TON. Both Corey and Amber share a wealth of information. Actually about 5 days worth in one day. Heather took a ton of notes — something I’m no good at doing. At the end of the day, we all headed to a park for a model shoot. Christa and David, some of the Holritz’s wonderful clients very kindly volunteered to be lead around by over a dozen crazy photographers, each having their own crazy ideas on what to do with them.
Long story short, Christa and David did an amazing job and we all had a blast! There are more images below than normal because I simply couldn’t cull down any more! Enjoy!
As you can tell since I used this photo as the key photo, I love this one!
This is Heather’s favorite:
How’s this for a fun swing shot!
What a beautiful couple!
To see all of the photos that I took, you can check them out on my Facebook page at: Christa and David’s Anytime Session
Christa and David, it was so good to meet you! We’re so excited about your upcoming marriage and excited that Nathan and Amber are shooting your wedding. You simply can’t go wrong with the Holritz’s!
To the local Photographers Guild, thank you so much for putting on the workshop. It was great. Thanks to Corey for taking time out of his very busy schedule to drive to Chattanooga to give the workshop. Thanks for Amber for teaching the in’s and out’s of baby photography and marketing. I’m just sad I couldn’t have been there for the whole thing but it was absolutely invaluable to Heather!

Thank you so much for including us on your blog….I LOVE LOVE LOVE the swing shots….we really were having that much fun! You really captured the moment. Thanks again!

Rich - I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and Heather. And that little Alana … well, she’s cute beyond words … such a doll face!
Awesome work here! I’m sure Christa and David are thrilled with these. Yeah, crazy how every photographer sees something different. And while we were all just a few feet from each other, we came away with such different images … different perspectives. I so wish I’d had my 70-200 with me that day. I use that lens so much, and seeing these makes me wish I was able to get closer without getting right on top of them. I normally shoot pretty tight. On the other hand, I’m glad I didn’t have it. The only one I brought was the 24-70 and it challenged (forced) me to adapt and work a little differently. I’m happy with what I got as a result.
Again, it was great hanging out with you guys and likewise, if you guys are ever in the Nashville area, please let me know.
