Thanksgiving weekend our little family headed to Asheville NC. to tour The Biltmore.  The most incredible home imaginable! I only wished we could sneak away and hide until tours were over to spend time alone in this amazing home… but there are cameras everywhere, big brother watching like a hawk…

This was our 2nd trip here. Several years ago Calvin and I joined Jim on a business trip and he and I went on the audio tour together. We loved it. All of us getting to go together this time was a lot of fun…

Here are some photos I took while there. No photography inside so I got some the caught my eye outside..

I turned around and fired this shot of Jim and Calvin. I love this of Jim. He still melts my heart…

us…. reflected… right before we had to run out of the way of this road as a van was coming…

ta ta for now~~~~~

Friday afternoon Calvin & I headed out w/our friends and met some friends at Belle Meade Plantation.

Love this old home… I’ve been many times and I never tire of touring the house and grounds… the cold made it a little less enjoyable outside but I did manage to get one group shot (well, missing a couple in that too) and I wrangled a friends daughter for several quick photos before we ran to the van….

Miss K, has such beautiful green eyes with her dark hair… It was just screaming for me to caught a few shots!

Thanks for dropping in….  until next time….

I have no idea the year of this grave statue, the date has worn away… as is much of the detail of this figure. I love the mystery of this piece…

so that’s it for tonight…

here are a few more fav’s to show from this family session…. my favorite spots to shoot are locations downtown… finding old walls with great color and texture are inspiring to me…

this session was so fun… this family are good friends of ours… and I just love everyone of them…

thanks for dropping in….
