Why stop now? Here are some more of my favorites. By the way, thanks Kelli & Randy for the opportunity to photography your daughter; she is beautiful & did such a great job. And, congratulations on the baby due in October! Hopefully we can do it again!
I must admit, this is probably my favorite. Look at those eyes & her expression!

It was such a fun day yesterday as I went with little Abbigail Grace & her mother, Kelli, to Ingleside Park for a solid 45 minutes of play. Abbigail did such a great job & was full of energy for our photo shoot. Her big brown eyes are so beautiful & I felt like she looked straight past the lens & right into my eyes. Her personality really shines in the pictures. Here are a few of my favorites:
Let's just begin by saying that I have had creative juice on tap these past 2 weeks. Sweet nectar of life! I am inspired to show you a peek of a resource I have been designing to help clients visualize portraits in their homes & in different rooms. I can't reveal all of it yet, but here is a glimpse:
Ihave a friend I would like to help; I would also like your help (if you want to help). Allison White has become a dear friend to Joy & I. She works full-time at Camp Living Stones (www.camplivingstones.com). This summer she is traveling to Benin, Africa with an NGO called Unseen Stories, for the purpose of educating people throughout the entire country about child trafficking, the dangers, how to protect their children, etc. A full-length documentary is currently being developed for viewing in the U.S. The movie trailer & info on Unseen Stories is below.
Joy & I have committed to helping her see this trip through by way of raising awareness, prayer, & financial support. How can you help? The most practical way to help is to purchase a ticket ($8) for a dinner she is hosting at Camp Living Stones on Thursday, April 30 at 6:00pm. That evening will be a wonderful time to hear more information about human trafficking & the work that exists in taking action against it. Plus, you will be able to meet Sarah & Jen, the founders of Unseen Stories, who are making the trip up for the dinner. Please let me know if you would like to purchase a ticket as your contribution helps make this trip possible.
Unseen Storiesexists to raise awareness of need and injustice in the world through the production of documentary films that inspire change by providing individuals with clear pathways to take action.
Unseen Stories goals are:
To tell the stories of trafficked children in Benin, raising both national and international awareness of this atrocity and those who are working to combat it.
To mobilize individuals and groups within both the US and Benin to action by providing clear pathways to become involved.
To help catalyze sustainable change in the country of Benin by aiding in bringing an end to child trafficking.
It was such a pleasure shooting the Greenwoods. Jamie, Sara, & Preston (1 year old) drove over from Cookeville for a photo shoot on Saturday. We met over at a park at Ingleside School for a good time of playing in the grass, smelling the flowers, playing with "Spunky Monkey," & so much more. Thanks again guys for the privilege of taking your pics; it was my pleasure! You have a beautiful family. Here are a few of my favorites, although it was extremely difficult to choose. Sorry Jamie & Sara--I know you are counting on me to narrow it down for you guys, but it is your fault that Preston is so cute. Ha! Enjoy!
Joy, Brennan & I traveled down to her hometown of Tallassee, AL over the Easter weekend. We had a great time with her family & Brennan absolutely loved all of the farm animals (horse, goats, chickens, ducks, & dogs). Plus, Brennan was able to spend some time with his cousins, Anna Beth, Charlie, Layton, & Elijah. I would love to show you a few of my favorite pics from the weekend.
For those interested in seeing the rest of the pics from yesterday, register at www.pictage.com. Search for the event titled, "Jessica & RJ" or search by photographer for Ben Finch. Once I get the pics uploaded I will send you an email with a link taking you to the pics. Thanks!
After 3 reschedules due to rain, I finally had the opportunity to do a bridal session for Jessica Winn. She is so excited to be marrying her man, RJ Lillard, on May 9. And, I am very honored to get to shoot their wedding as well. I can already tell it is going to be a blast!
We had a great time running around downtown Athens & then venturing off to Jessica's future in-laws' home. It turned out to be a wonderful day, although slightly chilly outside, & we were able to capture some great pics. Jessica was so much fun & up for any challenge. And, she kept Alison (my associate photographer) & I in stitches after naming Alison's baby Jalapeno Nation (due in in late '09). I owe a special thanks to Alison & all her tremendous help. Good times!
Here are some of my favorite pics from the day! Doesn't she look great!
Here's the deal: I need your help deciding which image you like. I was able to go down to some swamps & take some cool pics. I am trying to decide which one I would like to enlarge & possibly put in the studio. So... I will number these & let me know which one you like the best. Thanks for your help.
