Sweetwater Photography: Music, Laughter and Fall Colors

https://www.facebook.com/swphotography21

I recently went on a trip to Nashville, a combination business and pleasure - I was able to combine my love of photography, and music.

The Country Music Associations was holding their awards ceremony and as a result, the city was busting with energy. Everyone from the local singer/songwriters to the well known country music artist were enjoying the influx of individuals to the area and they made sure they did not disappoint their fans. On the day of the awards show, I was able to assist with interviewing an up and coming country artist and well-known actress, Lucy Hale.

Great times during CMA week

Music is good for the soul

Of course, experiencing all of the activities is always more fun with friends and we made the most of our time!! Lots of laughs and good music! A few of the events we attended included a house concert featuring local songwriters, standing in line attempting to win free tickets for the CMA awards, a free Keith Urban taping for Good Morning America and seeing a show at the Grand Ole Opry. And a few bucket list items were crossed off -good friend was able to meet and speak with Tim Tebow and I was able to meet and speak with Keith Urban.

The days and evenings reminded us that life is suppose to be fun and we should enjoy every day. The laughter was plenty and sweet memories were made of our adventures.

The other part of the adventure was to capture the beautiful changing of the seasons. The leaves colors were amazing. The Natchez Trace was definitely an adventure. It was tough hiking to the waterfalls, but it was well worth the sight. Another great place to capture the fall colors was the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere. The area was stunning!!
