Kellie

It's hard to believe another one of our girls is graduating from High School. As most parents my kids pictures seem to be last on the list. Not intentionally of course. " As the shoemakers kids never have shoes". It is graduation time and we need a photo for the announcements, so we through a couple of outfits in the car and headed for a 30 minute photo shoot. We stopped at random places and grabbed a few shots. We will have to continue this photo session next week when we can both work it into our busy schedules. We had a great time and always have to top it off with a chicken salad plate from the "Family Dog Restaurant" in Reidville. One of our favorite places to grab a quick lunch. So check back next week for more of "Kellie's Sr. Portraits" hopefully! I enjoyed our outing today.

Love those boots!

Leatherheads Red Carpet Party

A fund raiser was held in downtown Greer at the Davenport for the Triune Mercy Center and The Greer Soup Kitchen. It was an evening to remember. The flair was a 1920's setting with costumes, hors d'oeuvres, champagne, silent and live auction and music by Jabberwocky. Party goers were interviewed on the Red Carpet while paparazzi (which was me and other photographers) was snapping away. It was a really good time. I got to meet so many interesting people from Greer.
I couldn't wait to see the movie, so the next day I went with some friends. I thought it was very good. I kept catching myself trying to identify some of the local areas in the movie. I even saw some of the Greer cast who had been at the party the night before.
Greer has definitely hit the "Big Time". There are some great shops and restaurants in downtown Greer. Talloni shoe store is one of my favorites if you want shoes out of the ordinary. Check it out! http://www.talloni.com/ A shoe Salon.

Got Braces!

If you're in braces or even thinking about getting braces then you may recognize some of these faces. I had the privilege of photographing the office crew and orthodontists for the updated office portraits. It was a fun morning and we couldn't have planned for nicer weather. We had a beautiful garden setting with water fountains and iron gates. This group is so much fun to work with. They're like one BIG family. Well, they practically are family, My sister-in-law works there. I "reckon" that's how I got the job!!!!! Thanks S.

I also have the pleasure of photographing some of their patients that have just come out of braces. These patients photographs are made into large posters and displayed around the office. It's fun to see local faces on the wall. Their office is located on Powell Mill Road. They will be moving into a new office this summer located in Duncan on Hwy. 290. I hear they're going to have an ORANGE "Univ. of Tennessee" bathroom, that will be a conversation piece.

I've enjoyed watching the progress of the construction.

Watch for the opening of the beautiful new office. I can't wait!

Rhythms Dance Studio

I have had the privilege to photograph Rhythms Dance studio for the 3rd year. I really enjoy this group, especially because we share the same building in Reidville. So when it's picture day I shoot the groups pictures then go downstairs and watch them perform their dances.

Jennifer Eleazer is owner of Rhythms Dance Studio located in Reidville. Her girls did a GREAT job performing during rehearsal and recital time. One of my favorites was the racing costume. Her mom found this cool background at Dollar General (one of my favorite stores). I think she is a candidate to announce "Gentlemen Start your engines".
Angela, Jennifer's assistant is talented as well. She made both of her daughters dance costumes. Good Job Angela.
Thanks Rhythms for another great year! Keep tapping those toes!
Rhythms will be hosting camps throughout the summer. For more information call Jennifer @ 316-0714

Turning 10

How would I photograph a 10 year old boy. He certainly wouldn't want to pose in a studio setting, so we decided to jump on the golf cart and away we went. River Falls was the back drop of our adventurous 2 hours. Over the hill and through the woods I was chauffeured by a 10 year old!!! He was a darn good driver.

We did just what kids that age want to do. Jump from trees and play in the creek. He was so much fun. My equipment and myself made it all back in one piece thanks to a good driver.

Kristin

Kristine is a Senior this year. She is a natural in front of the camera. I also had the opportunity to photograph her last year. This session was in downtown Spartanburg at random places. The water fountains being Kristine's favorites. When I wasn't taking her photograph she was playing in the water. We had a GREAT time. Her mom joined in to help as both of our assistants. Thanks for a GREAT shoot. Next time I'll bring snacks!!!

Colton Driver www.ColtonDriverMusic.com

I was hired by Colton Driver to do some shots with his guitar for personal and promotional images. Colton gave me a CD of his original music which I played during his shoot. He is a wonderful musician. He plays around at different venues in the Asheville area. I loved shooting him with his guitar. Visit his site at http://www.coltondrivermusic.com/ also vist my site at www.LindaConnerPhotography.com and see his slide show of the entire shoot. We captured some great stuff! Keep playing those creative and moving songs Colton. Good Luck!
