The Artist's Eye

Mollie & Jon

Earlier this week I Mollie and Jon invited me over to Mollie's West Nashville home to create some engagement portraits. Mollie's house is a 1930's cottage that Mollie & Jon have transformed into an architectural gem. It was like walking to the pages of Architectural Digest.

Mollie & Jon already had several areas picked out for the photographs and the clothing. They fell right into the perfect poses as we went along and oh can Mollie pose! She is such a natural that I cannot wait to photograph her in her wedding gown!!!

We had such a great time, love being creative and love people who are creative. The first shot below just came to me and may be my favorite as it mimics the oil painting American Gothic created in 1930 by Grant Wood (1891-1942), European trained American painter.

I'll hush so you can enjoy the photographs.

Between the storms...

Yesterday was such a touch and go day. Scheduled were the engagement portraits of Crystal and Larry whose wedding is around the corner in August. Driving over from Knoxville, they hit some major rain and when they called about 20 minutes before meeting me, the sky here was so overcast, the ground damp from the rain 15 minutes earlier, but the sun had found a hole in the clouds. So off we went to Centennial Park to visit The Parthenon. We got great shots of them around the rose garden, no roses in sight just Holly Hawks and the Parthenon, such a stunning building.

Next we drove to downtown Nashville and created some stunning images of Crystal and Larry in front of theRyman Auditorium and then to Shelby Bridge overlooking the city of Nashville on the Cumberland River and  LP Field for some spectacular sunset photographs. Wow are those beautiful and Larry and Crystal were so photogenic! Great couple. Larry and Crystal, you both rock!
