This is probably the most fun family that I got to photograph last Saturday. While working with the boys, we got to wondering what kind of noise that deer make. They asked their Dad, who is a very knowledgeable professor and learned exactly what deer sound like. The boys’ Mom is a local “celebrity”…a public speaker and author of a wonderful book, The Smartt View…
If you’d like to buy a great little gift for someone special go to Lisa’s website…Lisa also speaks to many groups and would be a wonderful addition to any meeting. Her website has some of her columns that have been published and I know you will enjoy each one of them. You may even see yourself depicted in one of her stories.
Local faces who attended included this beautiful family and one of them is our own County Mayor…
Some beautiful happy faces…
This couple knew Jackie before she was born and farm her land for her…truly family…
A new friend that I got to invite to the party…
Old friends of Jackie’s…
Good neighbors that small towns are so famous for…
Friends that both Jackie and I have known for our lifetimes…
This lady was splitting her time between the party and her favorite Lady Vols game…decisions, decisions, decisions….Dear Lord, Please let me be this happy and fulfilled in the years to come!!!
A beautiful young lady sporting a new school shirt…Jackie and my alma mater…more to come about that tomorrow.
Great pictures, Becky... You could make money doing Family portraits for people in your area.. Your photography is SUPER.

Hi Becky
ReplyDeleteyour photographs are always so lovely and clear and it is lovely to meet your family and friends!! I am always wary of putting peoples photographs on my blog unless I have asked the person, my husband and daughter never mind. My son is a Police Officer so for his safety I never show his pic.
I see you have a (c) on your pics, I hope you don't mind me telling you but it is easy to place a © copyright symbol. In the photo programme text box, just hold down the alt key next to the space bar and use the numerics on the right hand side and do 0169 and hopefully you should have a ©. ( I think the American keyboard is the same as a British one)
Finally the rain has stopped here and we have some sun today!!Have a good day,
Very best wishes, Jackie
Your pictures (and captions) demonstrate why small-town America is a wonderful place to live. Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteWhat great pics, Becky! This looks like a wonderful group of people, and it makes me miss the small community in which I grew up. Thanks for sharing. Loved seeing all the people and the gorgeous table! What fun!
