The Gallaway Family by Chattanooga Children's Photographer - Greg Beasley Photography

Rolling around on the floor, wrestling, laughing, screaming...all of the things happened when the Gallaway's visited us recently. Justin is our new College and Career Pastor at Parkway Baptist, Fort Oglethorpe. Justin and Whitney, we are so glad that you are now part of our Parkway family. I just can't wait until I get a chance to point my camera at your family again.

Ryan and April - Along the Riverfront

The first time we scheduled their engagement session, the rain and 40 degree weather in December abruptly put a stop to an otherwise fun day. On January 23rd, we all picked up where we left off. It was the first day above 60 degrees in over a month. I get a little stir crazy during the winter. I can't wait to get out side and take photographs.

April and Ryan were very easy to talk to and between smiling and laughing, I think we all enjoyed getting out and taking in a little January sunshine. What a great looking couple!

I can't wait for their April 25th wedding. If this engagement session is any indication of what to expect, mark you calendar to check my blog and look at some incredible wedding photos.

Please post your comments to Ryan and April below.

Enjoy!

Funny (and shocking) Video

I found this video last year and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The event was recorded by Videos by Carol, Burbank Ca. I will admit, the music and fast motion make it funny, but the shocking part for me was that some photographers actually do this kind of thing. I can't imagine the look on peoples faces if they had to actually watch photographers disrupting the ceremony like this. I bet you also have been to a few weddings where the photographer(s) do this. Rest assured that I do not ever disrupt the ceremony.

Christina and Brian's Engagements

Christina and Brian and myself were off on a mission. We were after fall colors and we were willing to take on any location, cross fences, tresspass and risk legal action. Just kidding, we did walk on a few properties without permission but we had a great time together. Just notice that spark in their eyes. What a great looking couple.

Which Camera do I buy?

DP Review just released it's compact camera buying guide for 2008. You can see the review here. Click DP review. All of these cameras are less than $150. This is one of my favorite web sites. I will not buy any euipment until I have read the reviews on this web site. I am constantly getting stopped and people are always asking me camera buying questions. This site should be very helpful to you. This particular review tests cameras under $150, perfect for kids and family gifts. Remember that Megapixels are not the only standard of quality for a good camera. Each camera sensor reacts differently to color and light. You should focus your attention towards image quality not megapixels.

One of my favorite compact cameras is the Canon G10. I am a Nikon photographer but this Canon camera is amazing. It's purchase price is $459. This camera has many professional features and it also can take movies. The hot shoe on top allows you to add a more powerful flash if you need one. The G9 model was $899 a couple of years ago. Canon added more features and upgraded the sensor to 14 megapixel then lowered the price - amazing. Check this camera out!

Craig and Joanna's Engagement with color

Another Beautiful fall day doing what I love to do. I truly enjoyed watching Craig and Joanna interact with each other. Their wedding day isn't until next May. They wanted fall colors and wow, did we ever have fall colors. I know you two are a few miles away from me right now. I really hope you enjoy your slide show.

Annabel (miss personality)

Alright, just admit it. Annabel is a little cutie pie. You just want to hug her. She was a dream to photograph. She had this amazing little smile the whole time even though it was really cold outside. I can't believe how fast she has grown since we last photographed her in January. Kids like this don't have terrible two's...do they?

Maira and Brant's engagement at Coolidge Park

What a sweet couple. They are so happy together. Maira and Brant met while working at a grocery store. That is near and dear to my heart because Angela and I were both working at grocery stores while working our way through college. I can hardly wait for their June 2009 wedding day. I hope you enjoy the show.

Mark and Mo's Wedding Day

Our photography business has always been growing and moving into new and different types of events. Now we can add a Lebanese wedding to our list. Mark and Mo warned us that this was not going to be a typical wedding. How right they were. They started getting ready at the Chanticleer Inn on top of Lookout Mtn. Then we moved to The Fairyland Club for the wedding and reception. Mark told me about a Lebanese tradition where the groom's family escorts the bride to the wedding. Mo was escorted from the Fairyland Club to the ceremony site all to the sound of singing and drums beating. It was an incredible experience for me.

Oh and the reception...wow. This family can dance. I hope we get the opportunity to do this again. If you ever get a chance to go to a Lebanese wedding, trust me...go!

We love working with Laura Kellogg. She did an amazing job (as always) with the flowers. www.laurasgarden.com
