Importance of capturing Family memories...



We're all born and then we grow up, the days of playing and being merry come and go in the blink of an eye as we mature into adults.

Our parents never forget what we look like, but it's quite easy for them to forget how small our hands and feet were as infants. When you invest in a memory this image never goes away.

By taking little snapshots here and there we collectively keep the memory of our growing up alive. Memory images become a part of how we are and what defines our childhood. Without these portraits upon which to reminisce we'll never have the chance to sit back with our loved ones and recall from whence we came.

When our own children are looking through the old family photo albums we want to be able to show them great grandmothers face or the old home place where we grew up.

Portraits link our past to today and serve as constant reminder of our future. We need to capture the memories while we can, because, someday, we'll want those images to help us recall our priceless memories.

We are now scheduling appointments for Mother's Day and Spring!

Please call 865-777-5683 to schedule a Getting-To-Know Portrait Consultation.

Michael Broyles Photography Announces Participation in OPLOV



Michael Broyles Photography is proud to remind folks of their participation in Operation Love, a not for profit organization dedicated to promoting troop morale through free photography sessions. The photography sessions may be either pre-deployment, during deployment or upon returning home. Michael Broyles Photography is offering members of the military and their families several different programs. The most popular is where the family receives an 8x8 album with up-to 20 images.

Research has discovered, “that looking at a photo may have an even stronger effect than having the person physically present.”
New York Times February 2010

Michael Broyles stated that, “It is an honor to be able to participate in Operation Love and their goal of ‘capturing moments that will always be remembered’ fits perfectly into my goal as a portrait photographer. For those who have never been through a military deployment, there are no words to explain how hard it is on the family. Many people are so overwhelmed with emotions and often forget to point and shoot the camera. Operation Love solves this situation and provides the family an heirloom that will be treasured for years.”

Michael Broyles retired as Director of Personnel, US Army Chaplaincy - US Army Reserves and has been a professional photographer for the past eight years. His years of service give him a unique perspective on the family dynamic of overseas deployment and Michael welcomes the opportunity to work with members of the military and their families.

For more information contact Michael Broyles Photography at (865) 777-5683 or visit his website - www.broylesportraits.com

Portraits make great gifts for Mother's Day and the last Saturday in March we will be photographing Mommy and Me portrait sessions as well as Free Facebook images again.
