Last Friday, we went downtown Chattanooga for an incredible, fun time with Nathan and Amber Holritz, good friends and amazing photographers. We had so much fun, and love the creative, artful shots they captured. Here are some of them, and there will be more to come!!!
Nathan and Amber, we are so thankful for your friendship! We have so enjoyed getting to know you and love being around your genuine family. We love your zest for life and for people, and we love your authenticity. It’s fun and easy to be around you two, and to be ourselves. That is a gift, for sure, and we do not take it for granted. And we will continue to nag you about writing a parenting book until you decide to do so…we are in love with Austen and Addison and want two kids just like them!!! It’s so refreshing to see a husband and wife who value each other and thier kids enough to make the family a priority and to be intentional…even amid all of the stress and busy-ness of your professional lives. We love you guys!!!
After shooting downtown near the awesome, old brick buildings, they took us to Coolidge Park for some lovely shots near the walking bridge. To me, this shot captures quintessential Chattanooga…I LOVE this city!!!
And we finished the evening on a grassy hill while the sun began to set. Nathan and Amber just blow us away with their eye for detail and their ability to use light and emotion.
As we finished, Rich got this beautiful shot of Nathan and Amber. Even though Rich is a Canon shooter, he was MORE than happy to use their gorgeous Nikon camera and lens to get this shot.
Then we headed to dinner at the Blue Plate, where we ended up telling fun and scary stories for a couple of hours. We said goodbye and then ended up going to Nathan and Amber’s house anyway and continued to laugh and enjoy the company.
Hey! These are the shots that I saw on Nathan and Amber’s website. I like going there every now and then just to see what’s new. I did go yesterday with the intention of finding some pics of you two. They are amazing. I love Chatt-town. I hope we can move soon…I miss it there. It really does feel like home to me. I have four papers to write, so I must expend me writing energy elsewhere. Love you both. Can’t wait to meet Nathan, Amber, Addison and Austen (two names that we have considered for our own children might I add…good taste!)
Wow, Your pictures are nothing short of amazing! All these should be in frames all around your house! I wish we lived closer, I would definetly use Nathan and Amber for family pictures. You all look great! Thanks for sharing!
Gotta love the revision of the Nikon/Cannon comment! You guys were definitely nicer!
You’re both so awesome!
Heather, hope you’re feeling better soon!
Thanks so much, Nathan! I had an interesting chiropractic appt. today…tell you about it soon.
We were only nicer because we can’t be too competitive when we can’t even begin to rival the equipment you have!!! We’d me much meaner if we had comparable equipment!
WOW!
loved the pics. It’s great to “see” you guys! Thanks for sharing, I loved the photos on the homepage too and passed the link to Kami.
You two really make a photo shine!

This is an official reprimand for all of you non-commenters! I have had SEVERAL of you look at the blog (and not comment) and then tell me how much you loved the pictures or you had a certain favorite one, etc. You guys CRACK me up. Is it intimidating to comment or something? HA! It doesn’t have to be clever or anything…half the fun of blogging is the fact that friends and family actually are able to COMMENT!!! So give your 2 cents will ya?!?!
Love you guys. Consider yourselves reprimanded!!!
Guilty as charged! The pics are amazing-looks like you guys had a good time!
You guys look great. On the other hand, it seems that all the kissing pictures made this post show up on my Covenant Eyes accountability report! Also, you guys need to give yourselves a little credit and change the tag line of the site. Just another WordPress webblog? You guys are way more than just one of the crowd. Call it something like “A pretty swell WordPress weblog,” or “So cool it hurts,” or maybe “Hey, want some free bunnies?”
