Fall is in the air....

The air is getting cooler and you can just start to smell the beginning of fall. I love this time of year. Brian & I were in Wisconsin this past weekend and the temperature was perfect and the leaves were just starting to change. There were Pumpkin patches and farms on what seemed like every corner. I'm hoping that our weather changes to that, quickly.
A first sign of fall at work, is school picture season. We had a full month of them in October, which kept us super busy. I had the best compliment, though, yesterday. A parent came by to get her pictures and she got very emotional and thanked me for all of the memories. That's why I do what I do.
We've also been photographing some families these last few weeks that I'm so excited about. They were great at picking out their clothing and we had great fun creating some wonderful portrait memories for them.

This is Coach Griffith and his family. I've known his wife, Tara, since she was in High School. She's the new librarian at McNeil. Tanner, their dog, was the Wiener Dog Champ at the racetrack in Franklin. All he wanted to do that day was play & run. (for a short legged dog...he could run - which is why he won the races - lol)


These are the Simpsons. I've been photographing these girls since they were babies. I was so glad that their mom came in with them - these will be pictures that they will always cherish.






This last image is Sallie Beth and Samantha. Again, kids I've been photographing forever. These last couple of years we've had the opportunity to do some fun stuff at their house and on the beach at Rivergreen. This was my favorite image of the girls from this year's session



Now's the best time to have photographs taken outside. The light is gorgeous. Call now - We are booking fast and I don't want you to miss this opportunity. It's also a great time to order your Christmas Cards, as they are discounted until October 31st. We also have a new line of photo bags - they're gorgeous. If you see me - check out mine. I love it!

New Week...

As I started this new week, I realized I've been delinquent in blogging! We've been super busy these last couple of weeks, and my stepdaughter was with us, last week. The down side to being super busy, is that we didn't get to play, as much, while Natalie was here. We did manage to squeeze in some family photographs. Below is Natalie - this will be her 15th birthday picture.



The week before Natalie came in, I photographed Sarah for her Senior pictures. I've been photographing her since she was little, and I was honored that she asked me to take her Senior Photographs. She's a lot of fun and I'm excited about what we got.







I'm also going to include a couple of other random photos - These were just part of the fun we've had around here lately.

This Week

We've had a busy week this week. I had some great sittings. I photographed Hannah, Sophie, and Maggie on Monday, at their home. They're a lot of fun and we had a great time. We've been photographing them since just before Maggie was born.





On Tuesday I photographed Taylor for his Senior Pictures. He's been coming in since he was a baby, and it's hard to believe he's going to be a senior. We went up to Western and then down to the square. We managed to beat the rainstorm and get back to the studio just in time. Thanks, Taylor, for coming in!



I thought I'd post this picture of Rachel - I thought it was cute -





My dad had his final hip replacement surgery this week, and he's ready to come back to work. We're hoping he'll take it slow and get some rested up. Dr Fee says he'll be good to go really soon. Brian and I've been out to the fair a couple of nights this week to work. We'll be in Etown on Saturday for the Mall's Kids Day, probably hit the fair for a while that night, I play piano at Church on Sunday, and then back into work on Monday. I guess keeping busy keeps one out of trouble. We'll see....

A New Beginning

So I'm starting a new blog in a new spot. I will have both the myspace site and this site up - we'll see how this goes. I want my clients to be able to stay up to date on what's going on in our corner of the world, and I think this site will give everyone more freedom in staying up to date. Please continue to check into our website (www.carmonimaging.com), our myspace site (www.myspace.com/carmonimaging) or if your on facebook, join Carmon Imaging there. Please join our network of friends, if you're on either social network, we'd love to have you!

We just came back from our annual summer week off - and wow...it's been busy. I photographed a wedding last Wednesday and a family this past Sunday, so I still worked during my vacation. The wedding was fun - it reminded me of my wedding. For those that don't know...Brian "kidnapped" me last July 5th and took me to Vegas, where he had planned our wedding. We were married at 12:07am on 7-7-7. (no, Elvis was not at the wedding!) The wedding, last week, was just the couple, the magistrate, and Brian & myself. It was a PERFECT day for a wedding at Fountain Square. It wasn't really hot - nice breeze. There weren't a lot of people downtown that afternoon. We pretty much had the park to ourselves. The ceremony didn't last long, and we were able to get some great photographs of the bride and groom on the square. They're a great couple and we wish them the best and thank them for asking us to be a part of their day. On Sunday, we met a family at their lake front home for portraits. It was another beautiful day - after two days of serious rain, and they had an absolutely gorgeous piece of property. It was three generations of family and even a couple of dogs. They were wonderful to work with, and because of that they have some great pictures to look at next week.





How great it is to spend time with family. We were able to visit with my brothers, my sister-in-law, and my precious 2 1/2 year old nephew. We laughed, played, and ate way too much!!! We even rode Thomas the Train at the Kentucky Railway Museum, on Saturday. How blessed we are - How often we all just need to take time to enjoy the great gift known as family.






I hope everyone had an enjoyable July 4th. Don't forget - Sales are going on this month. Frames and Enlargements (8x10 and larger) are discounted as are video/movie transfers to DVD.
