Tennessee, Tennessee.

We've moved! To the beautiful state of Tennessee!
We are Northern California residents no more. After many years of feeling that California is not the right place for us, for many reasons, we have finally found a place to call home. It took a lot of research, planning, preparing, and convincing, for our family to move all the way across the country. And when I say "our family" I mean, one of my sisters and my parents came with us. Sometimes you've just got to move away and see if people will follow. ; ) We'll see if any more family heads out this way now that we have made a home base here in middle Tennessee.
We are so in love with this state already. We've discussed how we just feel pure joy driving down the street to the store. We live in a rural area so we get to "go into town" to go shopping, and it is truly the way want things to be. We are close to an airport, a temple (we are LDS), and all the stores and events we could possibly want, all within an hour of us. The abundance of foliage and green grasses take our breath away. Coming from California when everything is dry, dead, and yellow in the summer, this is a welcome change. And can we please talk about how magical lightning bugs are...?!! Seriously, we are in love.
All this to say, I will be going back to the Chico, CA area twice a year for photography purposes. So my clients in NorCal, don't you worry. I'll take care of you in the Spring and the Fall. As for the rest of the time, middle Tennessee... I got you. I'm so excited to be serving this new area, meeting new friends, exploring new photography locations, and capture some incredible memories for people. If you are in the Tennessee and surrounding areas, drop me a note. I can't wait to meet you!
I have had so many amazing friends and clients ask me over the years to teach them photography. It was always something I wanted to do, because when you love something so much, you want to share it with everyone. But trying to work in photo education while still shooting consistently proved to be a lot harder than I first imagined. As the world keeps changing drastically and without notice, I thought it would be the perfect time to not only take a break from shooting and create the course, but also a perfect time for people to take the time to really learn photography. Not only because we are finding ourselves home more, but because we are getting crash course on what is really important in life. We have learned to prioritize our time with our loved ones a lot more. Because you don't know when your time together will end. Relationships are so important and there are not enough photographers in the world to capture every moment of everyone's life. But the amazing thing is that a majority of people now carry a camera with them wherever they go. Although most of the photos we take with that camera are not for framing or display, I think we all have an opportunity to really capture great moments if only we knew how. I created my education store so for the people who just want to learn specific things and for people that want to learn it all and are just beginning. There is so much to learn about in the photography world, and my way isn't the only way. I do encourage you to continue to research, practice, apply, and dive deeper into what it is you don't know. It is the only way to get better. So if you are like me and appreciate the emotion a great photo carries, if only for the subject in the photo, then let's learn some photography together. If there is something you would like to learn but don't see it on the site, please let me know. I will make sure you get the help you need. AND to kick off the launch of my new education store, I am giving away my Camera Gear Guide for free until October 16, 2021. So download it before then to take advantage of free information! See ya'll in there. Alisa Thayne
