Hey Everybody…we were out at Hayden’s on Saturday for their annual Springfest. The kids had a blast! They had photos taken, and then they were each introduced. We watched as they did the balance beam, horse, uneven parallel bars, trampoline and tumbling. The kids and the parents had so much fun! We had a busy weekend, and almost half of the images are already online. We are working hard on it for you and should have all of the images online soon!
Hey Everybody, Former President George W. Bush was in town last week for the Private Opening Ceremony for the Junior Invitational which was held at Sage Valley Country Club in Graniteville, South Carolina. On Wednesday prior to the Invitational, an event for the First Tee Golf program was held. The First Tee Golf program was founded in 1997 by the World Golf Foundation. The goal of the program is to make a positive impact on the lives of young people from diverse backgrounds by introducing them to the game of golf. The First Tee educational programs promote healthy choices, and build character through modeling nine core values (Honesty, Integrity, Sportsmanship, Respect, Confidence, Responsibility, Perseverance, Courtesy, and Judgement) which are central to the game of golf. As Honorary Chair of The First Tee, Former President Bush is keeping the foundation on course to meet their goal of having ten million members and reaching out to 8,000 elementary schools by the year 2015. It was both an honor and a privilege to photograph this event that enhances the lives of so many young men and women.
Hey Everybody…We were out at Hopeland Gardens last Sunday with Rachel Howard. The wedding date is quickly approaching, and she must be counting the days now until she says “I do.” Rachel looked beautiful in her dress and I know she will be a stunning bride!
Hey Everybody….I was invited out to Martinez today by Susan and Chris Hardy to photograph their daughter Beth as she prepares for her upcoming cotillion. Beth is a sophomore and is involved in student leadership activities at Lakeside High School. As recently as February, she was in San Antonio representing her high school at a conference. As is the custom here in Augusta, Beth has been attending Social, Inc. to learn proper southern etiquette. Beth felt like a princess in her beautiful gown, which she found at Elegant Bridals. You can imagine her surprise to find her former Science teacher now working at Elegant Bridals. Together, they had fun choosing the perfect dress that is sure to make Beth the belle of the ball!
Hey Everybody….We were out today at the VA Field for the Wilson YMCA to take pictures of the Miracle League baseball teams. They are just about to begin their season. You could feel the excitement as the players met their coaches, and donned their team jerseys and hats for the first time! After the photos were taken, the players enjoyed a pizza and Gatorade party. I couldn’t help but be inspired by these amazing individuals and their families. Playing on a specially designed cushioned field which accommodates wheelchairs and walkers, these players are determined to hit home runs in the game of life. Since 1997, the Miracle League has made it a goal to make certain that every player is a winner! It was an honor to be asked to photograph such a wonderful group.
Hey Everybody, I was out in Westlake last night at Tatum Brown’s house. Her parents threw a pre prom dinner party for about 30 couples. It was fabulous. On hand, and beautiful, Tatum, Taylor, Virtoria, Kendyl, Regan, Kessler and so many more. The dinner was amazing. And they had their entire pool area decorated with fresh flowers and china. It was so pretty. What a great night these kids must have had! They all looked so beautiful!
