Knoxville Athens Cleveland Tennessee Senior Portrait Photography Debbi Gerdt

Portrait Info is updated!

Seniors 2015 … Athens, Cleveland, Madisonville and the surrounding areas,
now and through the summer is the ideal time to create next year’s portraits.
As soon as everything starts ‘greening up’ there will be perfect backdrops
and amazing locations available, in addition to the urban things you like!

Get on the calendar early and everything you need
will be ready for sharing in the fall …
your LAST year!

I’m always looking for active, personable senior representatives
to do word-of-mouth advertising.
Senior reps get a complimentary session and complimentary portraits
(limited to 2 individuals per school).
Interested? Of course you are!

As I sit here watching clouds go by my window,
waiting for February thunderstorms,
I’m pretty glad that today’s travel was limited to the post office and grocery.
Blustery day? … cozy house? … blustery day?
One cozy house for me please!
Today I stay in, bake cookies, and share Faith.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen
.”

There was a time when Faith was a hope and dream …
while she was being masterfully created … unseen.

Then one day, as one of our lovely daughters puts it, she was ‘out in our world’.
And she has a perfectly perfect name.

With babies, I love ‘pure’ … concentrating on hands, feet, lips, and eyes.
I don’t generally use props with newborns, but happily incorporate the headbands, hair bows
or john-john suits you’d like to use
(and there are plenty of baskets, buckets, and wraps around here).

I serve the Knoxville, Athens, and Cleveland Tennessee areas,
and will welcome you to my set or gladly come to your home …
baby would never have to leave the cozy house on a busy or blustery day!

What an end to 2013!
Family and friends from around the country and around the world …
Christmas and a wedding within 3 days of each other.
Our Christmas tree is still up (having decorated just a few days
before Christmas, I’ve not gotten Christmas ‘out’ yet).

New Year’s resolutions? … a few …
and none have anything to do with exercise or weight!

2013 in business was a really great year in most part to YOU,
family, friends, and clients.
Whether you were a mom and dad, family, graduating senior,
one of my kids or grandkids, a bride and groom,
I’m so thankful you were there.

Here, just a few shares as ‘catch up’, and of course, the wedding.
Then it’s back-to-it for a New Year!

Our December 28th wedding was captured by Philip Southern and wife Angela.
Philip made it possible for me to be ‘mom’ for the day,
and downloaded files here before leaving town.
When Bonnie was gone and the excitement over, we still had fantastic pictures.
One of the most important things to remember about securing
a professional wedding photographer? DO. IT. It’s worth every penny.

Guam is blessed to have this couple (it’s not bias if it’s true)!

I’ve shared my family growing up over 6 – 7 years here
and now they’re spreading away – even around the world.
But our hearts are full and we are blessed.
Nothing so sweet as seeing your kids, successfully independent, following a good path …
It’s going to be another great year with you!
