Apple Blossom Time in Iowa

Mark — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 23:12:52 +0000

“When I wake up in the morning and I feel the gentle breeze.
And there’s apple blossoms blooming everywhere
I hear the birds singing to each other in the trees
And I smell the pretty fragrance in the air

When it’s apple blossom time in Iowa,
And the grass is sprinkled with morning dew,
When it’s apple blossom time in Iowa
I’ll know the sweetest blossom, dear, is you.”
– from Apple Blossom Time In Iowa

I loved my stay in Davenport, Iowa. It was not near long enough. It’s charm, its beauty, the people and its promise draws you in. I could get use to it. I hope to be able to return someday but in the meantime I have the memories.

A Butterfly Summer (a Sweet 16 story) | Nashville Quinceanera Photography

Mark — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 13:00:04 +0000

I photographed a Quinceanera in Nashville a few weeks back and although it was my first one. I’m hoping its not my last. I had a great time and we captured some great images. Rebecca had a wonderful celebration of her becoming a young woman. I’m glad I was invited to witness and capture this moment in her life.

The Adventures of Rachel and Baby | Nashville Family Photography

Mark — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 07:09:00 +0000

Meet Rachel and Baby (as Rachel calls her) Sharron and I were in the other room when we were interrupted by Rachel’s scream. Its hard to get what actually happened. You see, Rachel’s not saying anything, but the best I can gather is that Baby was not eating her food. Actually its Rachel’s food, but we are teaching her to share so I can’t complain too much. We tried explaining that Baby was not hungry but Rachel would not have it.

Baby was going to eat this food!!!!

The Giggler and the Cowboy | Destination Wedding Photography

Chelsey is the giggler and Kurt is the cowboy. A great combination! and they make it work well. I photographed Chelsey and Kurt in beautiful Davenport, IA and we had a great time. Its easy to see that they love each other which makes photographing any couple easy. Take a peak at the images and you’ll see for yourself.

Can’t wait for this wedding!

Enough is Enough!

Okay, I’VE HAD IT!!!!

I’m tired of blogging and disappearing for what seems to be “blog years” What’s with that!?!?. I get emails from people who say they came across my blog and they just love my work and I’m thinking “What, that old stuff?”

It’s embarrassing.

It makes me look like I just don’t care. Well, I do care. Quite a lot, actually. Truthfully have quite a bit of work I’ve not blogged yet and a few new things coming up. So, my apologies to all who view my blog. I’ve committed myself to blogging more often. I actually have some great ideas for a new motivational blog as well. You’ll have to check back to see what the fuss is about.

Nashville Motivational Speaker :: 2009 Hallmark Inst. of Photography Graduation

Mark — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 18:16:49 +0000

I was invited to speak to the Hallmark Institute of Photography Class of 2009 at their recent graduation as a representative of the Alumni family. I had so much fun and it was an amazing day. I spoke to the class of 2009 at the beginning of their journey and it was such an honor to speak to them at the end of their Hallmark experience. They are a class of amazingly talented photographers and their work speaks for itself. I’m also glad to be an honorary member of their class and to call many of them friend. Just want to share a few words that I shared with them:

Because the client has a need, we have a job to do.
Because the client has a choice, we must be the better choice.
Because the client has sensibilities, we must be considerate.
Because the client has an urgency, we must be quick.
Because the client is unique, we must be flexible.
Because the client has high expectations, we must excel.
Because the client has influence, we have the hope of new clients
Because of the client we exist.

I shared with them that quitters never win and winners never quit so decide for yourself what you are made of when things get tough. You can have a “Plan B” for every endeavor but there is no Plan B for passion, there is no Plan B for heart and there is no Plan B for desire. You either have it or you don’t. You either want this or you don’t. You’ve invested a lot in yourself and the return on that investment is up to you. You are all winners and I know you will do well.

Congratulations again! Well done.
