Paula and the infamous shawl!




One of our favorite guests has made another appearance at the studio.

When Paula first came to our studio to have her portrait taken with her Red Hat Society group, we were the ones in for a big treat. These ladies proved to be one of our most memorable photography shoots.

The next photography shoot we did for Paula marked a very special occasion in her life. Her 75th birthday, which we had trouble believing at first because she certainly didn't look 75. On this shoot,Paula brought with her a very special prop to use in her portraits, which was a shawl purchased for her in Germany.

When Paula brought her 2 grand daughters into the studio to have their portrait taken the infamous shawl made another appearance...We thought it would be fun to have the girls tugging and pulling on the shawl like they were arguing over who would get the shawl when their beloved Grandmother was gone. The girls were alot of fun to photograph and we were able to provide them with some great images.

My favorite image that was taken of the girls is where they are tugging on Paula's shawl and we took the picture to black and white then brought color back into the shawl. This is sure to become a treasured family heirloom in the many years to come.

Thank you Paula for allowing us to capture beautiful images of you and your grand daughters. It's always a pleasure visiting with you. We look forward to seeing you and your family again.

Please let your folks know we would enjoy capturing their memories. Call us at (865) 777-5683 to schedule a consultation.

The Ballad of the Malogans Fine 9


The Ballad of the Malogans Fine 9

Once upon a time lived the family Malone—
Nikki, Kiara, DJ, and Tori.
They slayed lots of dragons, all on their own,
but there is much more to their story.

One fair day in the kingdom came gallant DeAndre,
vanquishing the laundry monster—wash and rinse.
With him were Jeremiah, Andre, and Anyai.
Their lives have never been the same since.

The Malones and the Hogans all made a Great 8.
No villain could keep them down long.
No problem or demon could their bravery deflate.
They came through resilient and strong.

But, lo and behold, a BIG change did them await.
Rasheed joined the family, and, oh, he did shine!
Thereafter, in all the kingdom, the Malone-Hogan Great 8
were loudly proclaimed the Malogans Fine 9.

The Malogans faced grand adventures, stupendous and true,
Daring land, sea, and air in their quests, oh, so long.
Their deeds brought them glory and happiness, too,
passed down through the ages in song.
