We stay so busy with weddings, portraits, events, and corporate assignments…that I rarely get to share my personal projects! So I though I’d post a few from a recent trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Folks often ask me “You photograph so many assignments…what do you do on your time off?!?” To which I usually reply “I take my camera and go shoot personal projects.” The truth is, being a photographer is not what I DO…it’s who I AM! I don’t just photograph images for my job, I also create beautiful images for my soul. It’s my passion. It’s just how I’m wired, I guess.

A few weeks ago Cami & I scheduled a few days off to celebrate our Anniversary. We decided to go visit the mountains…one of our favorite things to do. Using Maggie Valley as our base, we hiked, went mountain biking, had picnics, took long drives, visited with friends, and of course photographed lots of photos!

Favorite images from my travels and personal projects are available as artwork for your home or office at www.chrisandcami.com/fineart. Others are for sale in a gallery downtown called The Art Mecca of Charleston. And all the images from this trip to the Great Smoky Mountains can be found at http://chrisandcami.zenfolio.com/p974160682.

Enjoy…
