Remembering the May 2010 Nashville Flood (Photos)

As many of you know, the first week of May marked the 3 year anniversary of the 2010 Nashville Flood that raged through our fine city and caused extensive damage to downtown as well as many outlying areas.

I had posted some photos from the aftermath of the storm in the downtown area on my facebook page last week, but wanted to throw them up on the site as well.

3 years later, these images are still a surreal testament to the severity of this disaster, but also an inspirational reminder of a city that came together to fight through the destruction.

I tried to avoid taking photos of people's personal destruction throughout the neighborhoods that were badly damaged and instead put the camera down to help with the cleanup effort. There are plenty of powerful images around the web though from the cleanup effort that can give you an idea of how bad the individual damages really were.

Pixel Post: Cody + Kelly Engagement Session

Hello::

So yeah, I'm generally a few weeks behind gettin' content up on this site...if you follow me on facebook, you've probably seen all this stuff already, so bear with me:)

I recently had the pleasure of shooting engagement pics for some very dear friends of mine, Cody and Kelly. We've all been through a lot together and it has really been a great experience getting to know them over the years...so when they asked me to be a part of the journey towards their special day, I gratefully accepted. I had never really shot any "official" engagement pics, so this was new for me. We approached the process with a laid back, but conscientious mentality and made a really fun day of it!!

Furthermore, I am honored to be joining them in Zihuatanejo, Mexico in January to document and be part of the "main event"!! Can't wait!!

Shot in and around Murfreesboro, TN with a Canon T2i; 50mm f1.8 and Sigma 10-20mm
