Christmas with the family.

I figured I would take the time to post a few photos from my own Christmas family gathering.

Snow on Christmas day is something to really thank God for. It was just enough to make everything white, but not enough to inhibit travel.

These photos were mostly shot in a casual manner, not getting too involved with "making photos". Just more like having fun. At the end, the last two photos are my cousin's nephew Alex. I'm not sure what that makes him to me. We spontaneously decided to grab my grandmother's big red coat, then array him with lots of bling, including my new watch, and some misc rings. He was transformed into instant hip hop artist, "Iced Alex".

I hope you and your family had as great a Christmas as we did. it truly was one of our best in years.

Adam + Theresa engaged. "Arrington Vineyards"

This was an especially fun engagement shoot for me, and I know Adam and Theresa had a blast too. My clients all know I like to try to incorporate a theme into my engagement shoots. Our theme was "all things Vineyard and wine".

Arrington Vineyards, owned by Kix Brooks, who is half of the superstar country duo "Brooks & Dunn", was a great location for a shoot, even if the vines are out of season for the winter. Still...amazing! Arrington Vineyards is located in Arrington, TN.

After some wine tasting, and picking up a bottle to go, we hit the vineyard, and made some beautiful photos. Adam and Theresa were "naturals" at being great subjects, and are fine people as well. I'm totally stoked about these photos!
