I will share some of my favorite portraits from the foothills of the Great Smoky Mts., impart some random thoughts on life and love, and just generally chat with you in a neighborly way. I hope you will chat back.Garyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12315380670812963039noreply@blogger.comBlogger101100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961009047873685772.post-38965097843069357822008-11-07T10:46:00.000-08:002008-11-07T11:16:49.484-08:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_R3s8Joz7dfI/SRSOI6PkQeI/AAAAAAAAACg/9GmVcC2s85s/s1600-h/Santa_01.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265990148027597282" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_R3s8Joz7dfI/SRSOI6PkQeI/AAAAAAAAACg/9GmVcC2s85s/s320/Santa_01.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_R3s8Joz7dfI/SRSN6QpKy7I/AAAAAAAAACY/hGIx2B5GII8/s1600-h/Santa_02.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265989896342522802" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_R3s8Joz7dfI/SRSN6QpKy7I/AAAAAAAAACY/hGIx2B5GII8/s320/Santa_02.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_R3s8Joz7dfI/SRSNzra7-6I/AAAAAAAAACQ/BTM5WYpOAS8/s1600-h/Santa_03.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265989783271504802" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_R3s8Joz7dfI/SRSNzra7-6I/AAAAAAAAACQ/BTM5WYpOAS8/s320/Santa_03.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_R3s8Joz7dfI/SRSNt9yGfSI/AAAAAAAAACI/FmL5-kndnS0/s1600-h/Santa_01.jpg"></a><div><br />It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

This family wanted me to re-create an "angel" portrait that my wife had done a couple of years earlier. We settled on the same location, Honeysuckle Hills, and proceeded to create a portrait with Mom and her own angel, Ava. Ava and I hit it off in a big way, as we had just done a fun session at the studio. I knew she would be the perfect model and she was!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I truly believe in angels, not so much winged cherubs floating by on clouds and playing harps, but real people that God sends across your path just when He knows you need a little lift. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Thank you, Ava</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1961009047873685772-7200049571906930418?l=garywoodsphotography-gary.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Garyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12315380670812963039noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961009047873685772.post-77033430492160324372008-06-29T17:09:00.000-07:002008-11-13T13:58:31.516-08:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_R3s8Joz7dfI/SGgqYNEb0lI/AAAAAAAAAAg/LbkM-qYNVXc/s1600-h/Billy-blogpic.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217466763622208082" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_R3s8Joz7dfI/SGgqYNEb0lI/AAAAAAAAAAg/LbkM-qYNVXc/s320/Billy-blogpic.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Sometimes looks are deceiving.
