Knoxville’s 45th Annual ADDY Awards

A few weeks ago I sat in this exact spot & questioned myself, “Should I really do this? Am I going to get my hopes up?” I was trying to psych myself up to enter a brochure I designed, “2009-2010 AACA Arts Guide,” into the local ADDYs competition. I don’t know about you, but I…

The Wears | Abbi & Lilli

As I sat here editing these photos from this morning’s session with Abbi & Lilli Wear, I caught myself grinning from ear to ear. I couldn’t help it. I’ve photographed for the Wears a few times now (here’s some pics from those sessions: Part 1 & Part 2) & always enjoy our time together. Like…

LAURA - THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOME IN COLOR

Kelli Wear - Oh my gosh Ben, these are so beautiful!!!!!! You really have an eye for capturing the perfect shots. I was afraid my girls didn’t give you enough to work with put I was so wrong. I think they could have just sat there and frowned and you would have made it art. I am so glad we were able to do this again and I can’t wait to see the rest of them. It feels like Christmas morning and you just gave me one of the greatest gifts ever! Thank you and I will patiently await the rest…….perfection cannot be rushed! Thanks again!

Dave Ramsey | The Momentum Theorem

It was such a pleasure to sit under Dave Ramsey’s teaching this morning (www.daveramsey.com). Countless lives have been impacted by the business, ministry, books, cd’s, radio, etc. of this financial coach. We’re proud to say that he’s a TN native & his wife grew up in a small community next door. Plus, he’s a University…

Eric McCarty - And a DR fan, too? Makes me like your photo skillz even more!

Eric Atkins - Dave Ramsey has changed my life so much so that I will not donate money to any person (missionary, minister, etc.) unless they have gone through his teachings. That’s why I gift that book so often.

The Nacks: Andy & Leslie

This Saturday was a first for me: I was an associate shooter for a wedding. I met the lovely & talented Lillian Prince at our church & we became quick friends with her & her husband, Ryan, & their two kiddos: Ella Reece & Dean. She is such a gifted photographer & we’ve been talking…

Snow Days 2010!!!

By the time Friday rolled around, the anticipation for snow was to an all-time high; 3-5 inches were to be expected. Schools were releasing students early, folks were making their panic trip to the Supermarket for bread & milk (which… I don’t understand, milk-sandwich anyone?), & the local power company was placing phone calls to…

Judy Anders - Love you photographs…they are wonderful…..however, did Bailey really like wearing that necktie?

February 13, 2010 - 11:08 am

Betty Tuell Mathews - Ben, beautiful work! However, I love the baby pictures. They are awesome but only a new Grandmother would say she loved the baby ones! Your boys are gorgeous! But, how could they not be look at their Mom & Dad!.

I am so glad you and Beth have rekindled your friendship, I hope and pray you can watch your babies grow and respect each other, like your parents and I watched the two of you.

God Bless you, my thoughts and prayers are with you always.
My regards to your Mom, Dad,Amy, and family.
