I met Hamilton and his dad at the Crown & Goose Restaurant in the Old City area of Knoxville to take his High School Senior pictures. Hamilton is a family friend so I already knew a little bit about him. He attends Temple Academy which is a private Christian School in Knoxville, affiliated with Temple Baptist Church and Crown College. I say all that because he comes from a fine family. He's one of the young men we don't read about in the newspaper. He makes good choices.
I also knew Hamilton is into music so I suggested he bring his guitar. One of my goals in taking HS Senior pictures is to bring out the personality of the person I'm photographing. I also like to have some fun as we go through different poses and utilize the variety of scenic areas in the Old City. I think we accomplished our mission. He has a fun personality and I try to be the same way. I often say I'm still 17 myself. Kind of like Peter Pan....I'll never grow up!
I'll let Hamilton take it from here. These are posts from his Facebook profile where friends had seen the preview: "Aight! I want you to go to the same guy I went to! He did a good job! Ambler Brown is his name." Hamilton and I exchanged some comments on Facebook as well and his final remark was "Thanks! I think you did a fantastic job!"

New website is now live! Awesome!!
The transformation of Ambler Brown Photographer. Friend. is continuing thanks to the great people at Marathon Press. The new logo was developed while my son Toby and I attended a Marketing Workshop hosted by Marathon Press last August. Norfolk, Nebraska may be a long way from Knoxville, Tennessee, but it was worth it. They do it right! I've been the biggest delay in getting the new website up and running, but it's finally up and looking good. Thanks to Justin, Stacie, Linda, DeeDee, Mark, Bruce and all the wonderful Marathon staffers. You're the best!

A new bundle of joy for a special couple!
Corbin was born Tuesday April 13, 2010 at 7:09 P.M. EDT at the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville. Congratulations to Mollie and Nathan upon the birth of their first child! I take particular interest in this event because I had the privilege to photograph Mollie and Nathan's wedding in September 2007 at World's Fair Park in Knoxville. Mollie's parents Teresa and Victor also entrusted me to photograph their daughter Maisie's wedding in May 2008. This family is special to me and I look forward to photographing baby Corbin within the next few weeks. One of the things about Mollie and Nathan that to me is just amazing....they have been sweethearts since third grade. It's hard to imagine but yes, love does prevail and Corbin has been blessed to be born into the family of some very special parents. Congratulations Mollie and Nathan! You're the best and I'm so happy to know you as friends. The image shown is a page from their wedding album.
