Beasley Photography and the Gugelman Senior Seminar

Angela and I just returned from one of the best experiences of our lives. We visited Travis Gugelman in Rexburg,Idaho for a three day intense senior workshop. Tuesday morning (at 3:00am) Travis took us to the Grand Tetons and Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Wednesday, 4 vans of people plus one trailer of couches, chairs, dresses and photography gear took off for three hours to a ghost town in Virginia City, Montana. We spent the entire day in the ghost town photographing and watching Travis demonstrate his style. It was amazing. We can't even process all that we saw and heard during these three days. Keep scrolling down and view the Ghost town and Yellowstone photos.

Ghost Town, Virginia City, Montana

Just imagine, you're riding your horse into a town at the end of a 40 mile trail ride. You can hear the music from an old piano as you pass by the Saloon. Dust and the smell of horses fill the air. Saloon girls, lawlessness, crime, shootouts... I could almost feel these things happening when I entered this town.

We visited an old abandoned town sitting on the side of the road near Virginia City, Montana (Remember, Virginia City is the town that Bonanza was based on). During the 1850's, gold ran out and the California Gold rush began. In an instant, this town was deserted as prospectors pack-up their pans and moved to California. Even the train cars were just left sitting on the tracks. It was easy for me to mentally travel back in time. Notice the hitching post and signage on some of the old buildings.

This place was a 10 on my really cool meter.

Yellowstone and Jackson Hole Wyoming

Grand Prismatic geyser pool - Yellowstone


I can't even begin to tell you how INCREDIBLE our trip was. I guess you can tell from the images that I was in a photographers paradise. I have been reading about Yellowstone my whole life but it was nothing compared to what Angela and I experienced. Seeing a photo vs. actually staring straight up at a mountain are two very different things. We only had one day in Yellowstone but I am definitely going back. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I loved taking them.

This view actually took my breath away. It was taken at Lower Falls.
(Notice the "Yellowstone")


I am not sure I like the way he is looking at me.


This barn is THE most photographed barn in America. Peterbuilt and Ford have used it as well as many other stock photography agencies. The Grand Tetons are in the background. It was kind of foggy when we were there.


This was an incredible cliff face. I shot this with a fish-eye lens to get the whole view. It reminds me of an Ansel Adams type of image.

Seniors 2009

- Calling all 2010 Seniors!

Enjoy this glimpse of Beasley Photograpy 2009 Seniors. What a great year. We visited some very interesting places and worked with some new and old friends.

Now it's time to start all over. We are looking for creative, stylish and bold 2010 Seniors. Our photographs do not look like the school photographer. If you are looking for the same old pose and background, Beasley Photography is probably not for you. We customize each session. We travel to new locations with each outdoor session. No two are alike.

Booking for Summer 2009 now. Phone #706-937-2458

Beautiful Little Grace

This is adorable little Grace Skates. I know her mom and dad (Sarah and Burney Skates) are so proud. I also know a few grandparents that are probably beaming over her. Angela and I were invited to the Gilbert home to meet miss Grace. We were able to use the awesome natural lighting that was steaming into their back porch. Grace is so cute. You have got to see this slide show. I showed it to Angela and I counted 7 ooh's and aahs. Thank you Sarah!

Adrienne and Jared's Engagement at Walnut Hill Farm - WOW!

Beasley Photography gets to visit some beautiful locations. Every now and then we get to see beauty that goes beyond our expectations. Two years ago, we traveled to Boston and visited Lakeview Pavilion and Cape Cod. Last year, Beasley Photography photographed two weddings in Callaway Gardens. This year, we were awed by Walnut Hill Farm, amazingly just down the road from us in Dalton, Ga.

Adrienne and Jared chose this location for their October wedding. They are so excited that their wedding is happening at Walnut Hill Farm (and rightfully so). I met Joe and Nanette Yarborough when I was there. They own the property and I must say they are two of the sweetest people you could ever meet. This place is gorgeous and I predict it will be THE outdoor wedding hotspot in a couple of years. The facilities are incredible. What struck me most was the Yarbrough's passion (obsession) for landscaping. You really need to see it to believe it. Joe and Nanette are in the process of converting their Llama farm to a venue for weddings, receptions, and group functions.

Marcus and Heather's Wedding Day at the Choo-Choo

I want to dedicate this blog to Marcus and Heather and also to the Tri-Community Fire department. It was great to see the whole department come out and support Marcus and Heather. I especially loved having the "BIG" green firetruck there.

I love to photograph weddings at the Chattanooga Choo-Choo. The gardens provide me with some of the most beautiful choices of photography backgrounds in the entire Chattanooga area. Not only do we have beauty there but we also get to use some of the back alleys and grundgy locations that are a walking distance away.

Heather was beautiful. She had this a little grin that she kept on all day. We want to thank her family for letting us capture this special event with our camera. I love the images of Heather getting ready in the bathroom at the Choo-Choo.

Ok, I'll say it, Marcus and his family are...well, crazy. I had to be shooting fast because they kept me busy. This is the second wedding that we photographed for the Kilgore family. It was great to see Breeland and Michelle and their beautiful children. It was also fun being with Sonny and Linda. They are so sweet and always make eveyone around them smile.

This is the groom's cake and Yes, the cake is real!
It was built by Mitzi Bush. It even had faux fire coming out of the top. You can reach Mitzi at myronroy@bellsouth.net.
