The Hopes

Last week we had our first official family photo as a quartet done. Our good friend Tara Kneiser, with Dixie Pixel Photography, was fortunate to have her family photographed by AltF (John Michael Cooper - wedding photography superstar) during a stop in Atlanta as part of a project he and his wife Dalisa have started. Their concept, inspired by a David Williams, was to photograph photographer's families; to turn the camera on those of us normally behind the lens. They have called it Roadside Families, a Pay It Forward Project. So since Tara was photographed by the Coopers, she in turn had to choose a photographer's family to do the same. Since we have a shiny brand new baby, she chose us!

Here's the link to the images: Paying it forward!

This means it's our turn to pay it forward. So we're searching for a photography family in the East Tennessee area to do a session with. If you're interested, drop me a line at wes@hope-photo.com.

Coming up next: I was contacted Friday by a magazine in Florida to shoot the Tennessee-Florida game yesterday. Even though the Vols got beat down, I had a blast. So expect some killer action photos in the next day or so!
