The Waycasters | Good Friends & Many Laughs!

I go way back with the Waycasters!! It was in 7th grade when Matt & I became friends at the Athens Junior High School. We came from differing schools; he was from the nether-region of Etowah (as I call it) & I was from the Friendly city of Athens. He was tall, I was un-tall….

The Kesslers | A Chilly Morning on the Square

It shaped up to be a frigid morning but the Kessler crew was quite eager & ready for their photo shoot. And so was I! They made a chilly morning look good!!! I really can’t explain how much I enjoy getting outside with a family, letting them interact with one another & shooting away. Sometimes…

Keely Kessler | Infant Session » Ben Finch Photography - [...] So… as I was headed to photograph 8 week-old little miss Keely Kessler, I had a ton of thoughts going through my head, “Will I be able to get the look I am wanting?” “Will she be too alert & more difficult to soothe?” “Is she in the development stage where she won’t lay still yet can’t hold her head up?” I was fairly nervous… I wanted to provide the Kessler family (Michael, Mindy, Nathan & Keely) with the perfect images. They are a wonderful family that I had the privilege of photographing this past December when Mindy was pregnant with Keely (their post here). [...]

The Newman Family | Portrait Session

Hey everyone… meet the Newman family: Todd, Jackie, Bryson, & Halle. I was able to spend some time with the Newman crew this past Thursday evening & we enjoyed a walk through the beautiful campus of Tennessee Wesleyan College.

Jackie Newman - Ben, we love them!!! It’s not an easy task to get our children to be in a good mood at the same time, but you pulled it off and made it fun!
Thanks so much!

McDonald Family Christmas Card | Sneek Peek

About a month ago I was able to do a session with the McDonald Family. We had in mind that we would use selected images for their annual Christmas card they send out to family & friends (view last year’s card I designed). I again had the privilege to design & print their card this…

Halloween ’09 | A Belated Recap

I have been sorting through my Lightroom library & the pics from this year’s Halloween keep staring at me & they seem to utter, “You better do something with us… We’re not just supposed to sit here! Free us! The world must see!” My immediate thought is, “Get over it… it’s December now. You are…

Amy McDonald - I am so excited about how these pictures turned out. You really captured the boys personalities in these. I also love the picture with Scottie Mayfield. The boys are really listening to him!! Once Again, Great Job!

Ben Finch - Matt… you don’t worry my friend, I am dedicating an entire blog post in the future to my llama shirts!

December 2, 2009 - 6:51 pm

Matt Yeager - Ben, as good of an entrepreneur as you are…I would think that you would hyperlink better. You’re missing a prime opportunity to sell some lama shirts.
