New Product – Acrylic Prints from Pictage

We are excited to announce an awesome new addition to our product line-up. Introducing, acrylic prints from Pictage! These modern and clean pieces showcase your images amazingly. We especially love this product for vivid color images. The acrylic really makes the colors pop. The acrylic material is semi-opaque so light can shine through and create a bright and vivid effect. We also absolutely love the understated and modern stainless steel mounting studs. Check out some images of a shot we just had to have for ourselves from our trip to Paris. If you’d like to place an order just give us a call or shoot us an email.

Phindy Photo Walk – Downtown Nashville

nashville photo walk

Hey everyone, Mindy and I have been throwing around the idea of putting together a casual photo walk for a while now but haven’t been able to find the time. Well, now that we have most of our busy fall season behind us it’s time to get out and shoot for fun!

If you are wondering what a photo walk is, it’s simple. A bunch of photographers get together, walk around and take photos! Photo walks are great for learning and getting outside of your comfort zone. It’s always fun to see how other photographers approach things and you always learn a ton.

Our photo walk will start about an hour before sunset and end with some sweet night photography. If you’ve never tried nighttime photography, don’t worry, we’ll be on-hand to help you get started and answer any questions. The route will be a leisurely jaunt through downtown. We’ll meet up at printers alley and end across the walking bridge for some fun cityscapes at night. You can check out the map below for more details.

We want to encourage ANYONE and EVERYONE to join us on this little outing! It’s not just for pro’s! We’ve had a ton of past clients that have purchased SLR’s and enjoy photography. If you’re one of them, we hope to see you out there. Mindy and I will be on hand to answer any questions you can come up with so this will be a great opportunity for you to pick up some new tricks. If you are a pro, we’ll be happy to answer any questions you might have as well!

We’ll also all probably head somewhere afterwards for dinner and/or drinks, so leave your suggestions in the comments! Hope to see you ALL there.

Nashville Engagement Session – Byron & Ling

We had so much fun photographing Byron & Ling around Vanderbilt University, where Byron is a student. They are such a sweet couple! We were honored to be able to capture this time in their lives. We are sad that we will be missing their wedding in China, but I’m sure it will be beautiful! Enjoy!
