Bethany Ann Photography – Nashville, Tennessee Wedding & Portrait Photographer » Southern Weddings & Portraits

I love having a photo journal style website for the following reasons:

1. I feel like I’m interacting with those who come to my site. I know that’s kind of weird, but it’s true. I feel like I’m just talking to all my friends out there on the Internet about life, as well as all the awesome weddings and photo sessions I photograph. :) Sure, I could just post photos and not say ANYTHING about the session, but that gets old. I want people to know about the amazing people in the photos, as well as viewing all the fun we had.

2. It’s a one stop shop for visitors. Whether you are looking for wedding images, family images, or pricing information, you can click around to your hearts content. And if you want to book a session or wedding, the contact information is always present at the top of the screen.

3. I like writing personal posts like this one, and this one, and this one, that way future clients will get to know me as well. It’s so important for families and couples to feel comfortable with their photographer. This is the “place” people will see who I am, along with my photography. I want people to have fun and be themselves around me. Oh, and of course, I want future clients to like me! Especially if I will be following you around taking images at your wedding or family photo session. ;) I want to be more than just a session fee or a wedding package. I want to be your photographer. The only way to know if I’m your photographer is to find out if we connect through the inter-webs. (Yes, I just said inter-webs! haha! Hey, it works. ;) )

And because I love photography (of course!), here are a few photographs I took last fall in Downtown Clarksville. Enjoy!

The day after our wedding, Rick and I went shopping. This was a monumental day for me, because not only was I shopping as a married woman, but also for the fact that I actually bought a shirt (well, Rick bought it). This was amazing to both of us. We always joked throughout our dating relationship that I never shopped when we went shopping. Sure, I would buy one or two items, but never clothes (at least, none that neither of us can remember). I’m the type of person who has to absolutely, positively, love an article of clothing before I buy it. So, on the day after we said “I do” Rick bought me a shirt at New York & Company that I absolutely, positively loved.

Then we went to Eddie Bauer, and I unknowingly left it in the dressing room.

When we arrived home the next day, I realized I didn’t have the bag. I searched all the luggage and bags twice. Devastated, I had tears in my eyes. I told Rick what happened, and he said it would be okay. That it was just a shirt. Oh, but it wasn’t just any shirt. I loved that shirt. I had to have that shirt.

Luckily, I remembered we went to Eddie Bauer after shopping at New York & Company, so I called. I was absolutely, positively sure they wouldn’t have it.

But, they did!

I remembered this silly story the other day while doing the laundry. Rick placed the Eddie Bauer shirt he bought the day after our wedding in the wrong laundry basket (again). At first, I wanted to throw an “I-told-you-to-separate-the-good-clothes-from-the-towels-a-million-times” fit.

But then I laughed.

No matter how many times Rick throws his laundry in the wrong baskets, I will continue to separate them with love. Just like he tolerates how “loud” I drink my Diet Dr. Pepper, and how I cry over lost shirts, with love. (Seriously though, he never mentioned this habit to me before we were married, so I’m sorry if I’ve annoyed anyone else with my apparently loud drinking skills). :)

Happy Tuesday!
