Chattanooga Photographers Luncheon

It was awesome going to our local monthly Photographers Lunch! I had an amazing time getting to chat it up with some of the most amazing photographers in this entire area! They are all great, and its always awesome to be around people who like the same things you do and understand the same things when it comes to photography. Its an insane world out there, but its always fun to stop and take a break every now and then and relax with a few friends :) Thank you Melody for a great day out! Cant wait till the next month!!

We grabbed a group photo before we departed but i think a few escaped before so there are a few missing, maybe next time they will hang around ;)

Pictured are (front row first, left to right): Cristie Sims, Jennifer Meyer (with her daughter), little Miss Addison Holritz, Crystal Shirley(me), Shannon Atchley, Melody Hood, (back row, left to right) Amber Holritz, Nathan & Austen Holritz, Ty Miller and his gorgeous twins, Aaron Thomason, Marc Climie (standing), Mike Houston, and Joy, Garrett, and Graceyn Nudd.

Here are a few photos from some weddings I had just gotten finished with right before surgery, so now ya know what I was doing during recovery (editing photos lol)


This is Karen and Brian, they had their wedding at the old mill at the Battlefield, talk about a beautiful setting!! The only thing we were facing well was, lighting bolts coming down all around us, and rain pouring so much that every step I took my shoes squished EEWW but by the time it was time for her to come walking down the field to meet her soon to be hubby the skies cleared and it was perfect! Sweet Couple!!!
