Deckers Maternity session at Roan Mountain State Park

Hey, I am glad your here!

I hope while you are here you take time to read the other entries. For now though let's concentrate on the reason your here Photo's! Not just any photos of course. You are here to see the latest images I captured for Anton, Julie, and the kids. (one to be introduced very soon)

Lets slow down for a moment though and reflect. I have been extremely fortunate to capture many moments for this amazing family.

The last of which I am thrilled to share with you now. Anytime I am approached to shoot, there are things I always consider- location, mood, and I want to know the why behind our moments. Julie and I spoke about her vision and I knew that I wanted to be there. In case your new here or to my work, I love All things outside and adventure. We spoke about location's that may convee what she and I wished for. We quickly decided Roan Mountain State Park fit the bill perfectly. We walked among the trees', we played in the creek in the park, but most importantly, we documented their love-Again. For one another. for their family, and for this life they have built together.

This is something I learn more and more. To keep the moments. To stop worrying about how sharp the shot is. If it resonates emotion with my client, audience or myself-that is always enough! It has to be. If the moments we capture fail to tell a story or remind us of a better time then why do it at all? I understand the importance of documenting for history purposes but that is completely different. I want to document all things in this life, the Happy, the sad, the unjust, the breathtaking, and I want to do that with and for each and everyone reading this. What are you waiting for?

BlackHeart Salon of Kingsport Tennessee

Its me again, and this time Im bringing something a little different. So with all the madness in the world and the non stop talk of pandemics my small business is still grinding every day. Luckily for me, I am a pro at “Social Distancing”, and the adventure in my normal work proves that. Today though I wanted to share something very different for me. I forget that people and future clients, only assume I shoot what I share the most of, and well that’s just not always the case. I have worked with multiple clothing companies, products, and also modeling agencies. I recently had the extreme pleasure of working with Annie to capture these and more images of their salon in downtown Kingsport, TN.

You may recognize this location from a video we did at ThroatPunch Productions for my wife, where I cut her hair off before she started her chemo treatments. Annie is the reason we were able to shoot here, and she is the professional that came in and finished the haircut while I picked my camera back up and went to work through tears and all the emotions. When she messaged me about capturing the essence of the salon, I was more than happy to help as they are entering a contest on Salon Decor. I hope they crush it, but if you have ever been inside, its easy to see why this place not only appeals to my style, but should win the contest. Its amazing, dark, eclectic, and just badass. Everyone I have met while being there with Natasha, or when meeting with Annie, have been amazing. I even shot a short video for her, where I was allowed to use music from her husband and friends band, Wulfhound. ( click the band name for the song we used, your welcome )

Every inch of the salon has character. Its genuinely unique.

I know what your thinking, “wait a minute, Jeremy you are bald so what do you know about salons?” I would say that your correct. I don’t know anything about hair, style, fashion, or anything related to a salon but I do know how the place feels. I know how inspiring it is to walk into, and how welcoming it is. That is something I can dig my teeth into, and hope that is exactly what I convey here. The overall feel of Black Heart Salon.
