Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Hope everyone is doing well. The forecast says storms tonight, so be prepared and stay safe. Here’s Koda, another Christmas portrait. I was especially struck by how beautiful his eyes are. One of the features of our interactions with dogs is through their eyes – and ours.…

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. We have another one of our famous false springs going on. Probably means another cold snap is on the way. I’m a Nashville native, and have seen this many times. Still, I intend to get out and enjoy the sunshine today. Here’s Bismark. She’s very beautiful. I…

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Looks like we may actually get some snow overnight. Of course, it’s Nashville so who knows? Our area is notoriously difficult for weather forecasts.

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. If it cold enough for you? I’m a Nashville native and I know we have a week or two each year where it gets really cold, and even though I know it’s coming, I hate it. Single digit temperatures make me ache. Hopefully, you are staying warm…

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. I hope everyone is doing well. The “snowpocalypse” turned out to be not as bad as expected. Hopefully, no one had any real problems from the snow.
