So I’ve been considering blog topics for over a month and finally the obvious hit me – blog on “new,” as in, Happy NEW Year!
“New” allows me to show you a broader spectrum of what I photograph and a lot of what I capture is fresh and brand new. That’s both a privilege and exciting. So let’s view some highlights of the “new” I photographed over the last year.
A good starting point is newborn photography:

On the commercial side, Nashville is booming. It’s become one of America’s “it” cities, a mecca of what’s new. I was pleased to photograph a large new shopping complex in Bellevue:

I also had the pleasure to photograph Nashville’s new (and best) assisted stretching studio:

Brentwood, TN
and I photographed new products for a familiar client.

I shot lots of headshots this year to give folks a “new look:”

and I shot this spectacular event which produced new champions:

The real winners from this event are the kids who participate in Saddle Up.
What’s new for me in 2019? Well, the year’s just unfolding, but for the art fans amongst you, I recommend two new Nashville photography exhibits.
Running now through the end of March at the Laskey Gallery at Scarritt Bennett is Shifting Perspectives: Images of Hope in Troubled Times. In this exhibit, Sharon Brown Christopher, Sue Henry, Susan Ruach and I share hopeful messages through abstract photography. For more information, please visit http://www.abstractlensnashville.com.
And from February 4 – March 8, you will want to visit the art gallery at Nashville State Community College to view SNAP: The Photograph Celebrated. Here’s the promo card for this exhibit which was curated by Beth Gorham (possibly my favorite photography instructor ever).

Thank you for following my blog. I look forward to bringing you more of what’s new in the coming new year!

Beautiful pictures -especially the babies;

Thanks, beautiful pictures.
Sara is planning to come for her birthday the end of March and I surely do hope you can join her.. Weather should be really nice by then. Would be great to see you. Have one room (with bath) with huge king bed and another with a blow up. Mark has a room (with cat!) and I have another. I think we could be comfortable. Don is welcome too. Love, M C
