I hope you all have a safe and wonderful Christmas, and a very happy New Year full of happy memories and good times!   Merry Christmas!

I will be away from my desk for the next 4 days.  I am shooting a wedding in Savannah, and will not be near a computer so if I don’t respond to your email right away I will on Monday!    Don’t forget to email me about scheduling your holiday portrait sessions ASAP!

Here is something pretty for you to look at while I am away!

I wanted to take some time to invite my readers to check out Horse Creek Winery, located in Nashville, Georgia.  As you guys know Nashville, GA is my hometown and I am excited about this new establishment.

Horse Creek Winery is located in heart of Perry Vineyards in Nashville, GA. Over 40 acres of some of the highest quality, sweetest Muscadine grapes in America. The winery began in 1992 as a fresh-fruit vineyard.  Owner Ed Perry specializes in muscadines and soon was shipping the sweet, savory grapes all over the Southeast, and from New York to Miami and even out west to Texas.  With the realization that his grapes were the main ingredient in desired wines at other well-known wineries in the South, Ed Perry began thinking about making wines from his own vineyard.  And it didn’t take him long to get started.  He and his wife Andrea Perry along with Jeff and Allen Dorsey began Horse Creek Winery in 2008 and built a beautiful tasting and banquet room which also houses the tanks and other equipment to create their wonderful wines.

On my last trip to the winery I brought my camera and made some photographs to share.  Enjoy!

Pictured here is Horse Creek’s current selection of wines.  Big Red, and Ponderosa Gold are my favorites! These wines are created in bottled in Nashville, GA.

Here are some of the awesome details of the winery.  The tasting room is beautifully decorated. The atmosphere at Horse Creek is so relaxing.   To the right is the iconic silo-turned-wine-bottle. It’s really cool.

This is the tasting room which also houses the tanks used to create Horse Creek Wine.  The interior of this building is great for any event.  It is currently available for rent for social gatherings, and events such as Weddings and receptions.

Horse Creek Winery is open for wine tastings every Wed-Sat, 1-6pm.  They also often host special events featuring live music by local musicians. It’s a great place to relax and spend time with good friends. I know I am looking forward to my next trip out and hope to shoot a few sessions in the Vineyard as soon as the vines get nice and green.  Be sure to visit www.horsecreekwinery.com for more information on the location, wines, grapes, and the full story behind Horse Creek Winery.

I have been a little personal on my blog here lately, and I wanted to share something that really touched my heart. I found this video on a fellow photographers blog, Kelly Williams, and was so moved by it that I wanted to share in on my blog as well.

This video fits perfectly with my views on photographs and their importance in people’s lives. I think that photographs are one of the most valuable things a person can have. This helps explain why I feel that being a photographer and capturing lives, memories, and people is one of the most rewarding things that I can do with my life.  I take pride in what I do. I love what I do. I love being a photographer.

Please check out this video. It is about 6 minutes long, but WELL worth the watch. The ending is the best part! Warning you might need a tissue for the ending. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Thanks for looking,

Lindsi

Today I lost my Nana.   She passed after a long and difficult battle with cancer.  I can’t describe the sadness I am feeling at this time, but also the feeling of relief in knowing that she is no longer suffering and is now at peace.  My Nana was an amazing woman, a loving grandmother, and one of my best friends.  Those of you who knew her know how funny, and full of life she once was.  She will be missed dearly.

I want to share my favorite photo of Nana and me.  I have always loved this photo, especially now. I will cherish it always.

Thank you to everyone that has sent messages and condolences during this difficult time,

Lindsi
