April Robinson, ADT dispatcher, saved the life of a Texas man, Sir James Smith, by responding to the call of a panic button.  They were brought together for the first time yesterday so that they could meet and show their respects.  I was honored to be there and capture their emotions, but for the full story, see here. Otherwise, the photos speak for themselves:

Garvey Photography recently had the pleasure of photographing the young girls of Dancer’s Studio in Knoxville.  We owe a big thank you to Mrs. Haskins for helping us organize the fundraiser.  It’s a wonderful thing to be able to share in such a beautiful art form.

All of the girls are extremely talented and well-trained.   Not to mention, the little penguins were incredibly cute.

Laurel Valley Golf, in Tennessee, has been newly renovated. Below you will find examples of their fine country club and its view over the gorgeous mountains and golf course. The restaurant boasts an exquisite menu for those wishing to dine or stay in the area. Make sure to sit on the top deck for an extraordinary experience. My wife and I plan to stay at Dogwood Cabins for a romantic get-away, including hiking and eating at the new restaurant for our first wedding anniversary. If you do choose to vacation in the area, feel free to take a cool dip in the pool after a long day in the mountains or hitting golf balls and taking in the scenery. I look forward to my stay, and so can you. Visit their website and take a visit, or rent a cabin and stay for a while.

Sunset Tans and Spa is Knoxville’s first and only tanning salon AND spa. This location in Farragut is available everyday as your personal oasis. The brand new facility with state of the art equipment is a place where you can relax, rejuvenate and walk away feeling and looking amazing. So what are you waiting for, get out there and pamper yourself because you deserve it!

If you own a business that needs photographs for a website or publication, give us a call at 865-691-1691 and we will highlight your business on our blog for free publicity! While you’re at it, get business head shots for the whole company at a reduced rate.

Dr. Phillip Powell has been practicing dentistry at his current location in Knoxville since 1991. He was the first to establish the only joint practice of Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics in the state of Tennessee. Not only would my entire family recommend him and his staff for their professional service but also for their charming personalities. Dr. Powell gives a greater meaning to the term, “service with a smile.” Since they do such a great job, Garvey Photography was honored to provide the professional photographs for their new website:

TheKnoxvilleOrthodontist.com

Please check out this business for any of your orthodontic or child pediatric needs in Knoxville. I would consider no one else for braces.

If you would like to highlight your business, please give Garvey Photography a call. We not only offer business head shots for each individual, but commercial photographs of company buildings that are perfect for any website.

Chad Rochelle is another one of our clients that we just love. His wife and two young daughters have been here at the studio several times and we’ve even been out to his house to photograph his newborn baby. But beyond family portraits, Chad owns and runs an outstanding realty business in Townsend, TN called Parkside Realty. You can visit their website at ParksideRealtyServices.com

Chad started working in the family business with his father and has since renamed it to what it is today. Not only is Chad a realtor, but he operates a cabin rental service in Laurel Valley called Dogwood Cabins. If you’re ever interested in renting a rustic get-away so that you can spend the night and hike in Smoky Mountains National Park, then look no further. Check out the website and pick out a cabin today at Dogwood Cabins.com

Below are examples of the fine golf course you will discover in Laurel Valley where you will stay. The club house has been recently renovated with an expansive deck with a view and the facilities include a restaurant as well as a public pool. As you will see, the course looks especially beautiful in the fall when the leaves change bright colors.

Garvey Photography has done extensive work photographing the interiors and exteriors of mountain cabins, which you can see on the Commercial gallery of our main website. If you or someone you know is looking for exceptional commercial photography, then give us a call for a quote and free consultation at 865-691-1691.

There’s nothing better than working in the mountains. That’s one of the many things Chester Richardson and I can both agree upon. Chester works in the Townsend, TN area building top of the line log cabins. It’s an extraordinary craft that Chester shares with his father, and extreme professionalism is evident in every detail of his work. I would define his style of cabin-building as “polished rustic” because it feels and smells of the mountains with a touch of elegance. Just as I share in the family trade of photography with my dad, Charles Garvey, Chester and I both know the value in tradition and quality. He has a loving family – a beautiful wife and three kids. Their new website is http://richardsonconstructiontn.com/ and anyone who is interested in building or owning a state of the art log cabin should give him a call.

What’s wonderful about working with family is that it brings you closer together. I remember when I began working with my father. We had what I would call a typical father-son relationship. My father being the disciplinarian of the family, we were close but we had a hard time identifying with one another when push came to shove. I’ve worked on projects with my father since I can ever remember and I’ve always loved reaping the benefits of hard work, but once a project was done we moved on our way. Being in a work place forces you to endure and it makes your relationships grow stronger because you have to understand one another to be able to endure. You can’t put off what you need to discuss today for tomorrow, and unlike many adolescents that grow up and move away from their parents just at the point when they are mature enough to really relate to their parents, I am glad that I have been able to stay. I’ve always enjoyed capturing life in many forms but I’ve never wanted to be guilty of nepotism and so I’ve tried to develop my own style of photography on top of the strong tradition that my father has created. His reputation precedes him and I can only hope to lay such a strong foundation for future work. I think Knoxville benefits from small business where a sense of community and a smile is a part of the experience that you take away and I would hope that no one ever takes that for granted.

Garvey Photography is proud to present Sonja Oswalt, a local belly dancer who dances regularly to support humanitarian, animal and environmental issues. Sonja is not only a wonderful dancer, but she also offers belly dancing lessons to those who are willing to get in shape and experience such a joyful art form.

If you would like to see Sonja, you can catch her at The Mirage on Gay Street or you can visit her website at TNBellyDance.com for more information.
