We are really excited about our June PUG…

Amber Holritz of The Lifestyle Baby Photographer will be speaking on her work as a Lifestyle Baby Photographer!

If you don’t know who Amber is then not only do you need to learn, but you need to come. Amber is a wife, mom, and photographer based out of our own Chattanooga, Tennessee. Grant and I have known Amber for many years now, and she never ceases to amaze in her ability to capture life in such a beautiful fashion. She recently posted on the Pictage Blog about how Real Life is Beautiful…and it made me cry. No matter what type of photography you do, I think we all can learn from this amazing and talented woman.

DATE: June 10th

TIME: 5:30 pm

LOCATION: green|spaces

Chattanooga, TN 37408

March PUG

chattanoogapug — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 14:21:10 +0000

Because of WPPI we are going to have a low-key PUG this month. We don’t have an agenda, so for those that are in town and want to get together we are just having a time to hang out and get to know each other more. It would be great to see some new faces. We will be at our house this time.

By the way. Going forward we will be meeting at our house on months where there is no agenda or if it’s just a local agenda. When we are at our house I will have childcare provided. When we have guest speakers we will meet at green|spaces and there will be no childcare. If you are wanting to take advantage of childcare please let me know that you are coming so that I make sure I have enough care.

DATE: March 11th

TIME: 5:30 pm

LOCATION: Dotson House

AGENDA: No agenda this month – just come and hang out!

Recap

chattanoogapug — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 16:57:50 +0000

We wanted to share with everyone some photos that we took at the December PUG and the February PUG. Each month we are seeing more and more faces and we hope to have a visiting guest speaker soon that maybe help our numbers really go up. Thanks to all who are coming each month. It’s great to build friendships with people that you have so much in common with.

Here’s a group shot that Rich Smith snapped for us at our February PUG.

In this photo we have us, Rich and Heather Smith, John and Lindsey Bamber, Nathan and Amber Holritz, Eric McCarty, Michelle Mckibben, and also our little Ella. Also Willa Ibach came but had to leave early.

There is a lot of talent in this room and we are so excited that everyone was able to make it.

Rich did a wonderful presentation on group photos. I know I really learned a lot from his presentation and I hope others did too.

Here are a few shots from Rich’s presentation.

Here are some photos from our Christmas party. We want to thank Cristie Sims for letting us use her amazing studio space!

In addition to the Holritzes, Smiths, and Cristie we also enjoyed having Ben Finch and Casey Baugh.

Thanks again to everyone for coming – we are so excited about what’s in store for the Chattanooga PUG.
