This blog contains photographs of my friend Cynthia West Trundle. She thinks she is socially awkward, but I get along so well with her! She loves dogs, and is really into photographing them (her portrait work is killer too). On the day these photos were made, we hit the streets of Chattanooga, TN. We window [...]

Just this weekend I had the all-time pleasure of photographing GraceAnn and Nicholas’ wedding here in Cleveland, TN at Westwood Baptist. (Maybe I’m being dramatic, but with all the travel I have coming up, it was sooo nice to do a local shoot!) Prior to the wedding, I met with GraceAnn to discuss the wedding [...]

This was my first run with the 135 L lens. I love it just as much as I remembered! These photos are of Ana&Amelie, who are in several other blogposts. I don’t hang out with very many children, but these two are my absolute favourites. These photos are about having fun, being a kid, and [...]

These photos were made about a year ago, during my time at Hallmark Institute of Photography. I recently had to dig through my old harddrives for some files, and saw these and wanted to share them. After I took these images, my plan was to hang some of the more expressive shots in my bathroom. [...]

Oh good! I’m glad to be posting this blog because it gives me an opportunity to share some words (and photos, of course) of people who are especially dear to me. You know the kind of people that you have no blood relation to, but  you consider them family? Yeah, that’s what the Hoeferle’s are [...]
