321 Say Cheese Portrait & Event Photography

07/15/2024

Summer break is winding down for students and schools are gearing up for another exciting year!

Seniors have so much ahead of them and while this year will be so much fun, it will also fly by.

Portraits for the yearbook are being made now. The yearbook printer has a deadline that the yearbook editor must meet, which is why senior yearbook portraits are made early.

HOWEVER, there are also individual, senior sessions. These can be made at any time during your senior year. Some seniors prefer the cooler weather and beautiful colors of fall. Others, prefer to wait until the first of the new calendar year, when they will be graduating. There are those who love the color and freshness of spring and still others who want their senior pictures to look just like they did on graduation day, so they prefer the month of graduation.

Great news! We can cover all of your preferences! Your senior session will be a personal time just for you. We will capture your true personality, whether you are an athlete, musician, book lover, animal lover, or any other personality.

Your session includes outfit changes, and two (2) locations of your choice. You may also want to include, family members, boyfriend/girlfriend, sports equipment, letterman's jacket, instruments, pets, automobiles, books, childhood pictures and other props, of your choice, that tell the story of you.

The sessions may be up to two (2) hours and the cost is $175.

We accept most forms of payment and we also offer an interest free, ninety (90) day, payment plan.

We are available for these sessions at any time. For more information, you may send an email to [email protected]; or call our studio at 423-594-0303.

We are so proud of each of you! Graduating high school is a big deal and you are on your way! We are here to support you along the way!

Another sweet baby, gone too soon. God is up to something. People get ready!

Eli is in a better place. He passed at 12:20am central time and we were with him until the bitter end holding him in our arms.

We knew it was coming, but that didn’t make it any easier. We were hoping he would go as peacefully as possible, but he struggled the last 3 hours and especially the last half hour. We tried to give him morphine to help relax him, and maybe it helped a bit, but he definitely was struggling at the end and was very painful for us all. Our hearts are aching 💔.

Please pray for this feeling to fade and for us to find peace and comfort 🙏

The beginning of the end:

This morning Bledsoe County High School Seniors prepared for their final walks, in their high school journey, as they practiced for Senior Night and Graduation Night.

Senior students began their morning with a wonderful breakfast, complete with biscuits and gravy, meat and egg biscuits, breakfast casserole, fruit and doughnuts. Following graduation practice, they were treated to a lunch of chicken and beef barbecue sandwiches, chips, cookies and drinks. Both meals were provided by First Farmers and Commercial Bank and Citizens Tri-County Bank.

After breakfast, morning practice, setting up for senior night and enjoying lunch, the seniors practiced for senior night. This is a busy week for each student. There will be laughter and tears, but we know that they are ready to take on this wild world and we are excited for their future!

Congratulations, BCHS Class of 2024! Continue to be a Warrior, wherever you go and whatever you do!

We had the sweetest couple session yesterday afternoon! Brady and Kate are celebrating (1) year of dating and it's easy to see that they are so right for each other.

It was so hard to choose just a few from their session, but these are some of the best of their best.

Fall Creek Falls State Park never disappoints!

Saturday was the first Pikeville Cruise-In for this season.

There was also a fun Duck Hunt, organized and handled by Dr. Becky Ridley with Bledsoe Aware. Children and adults had a great time, going on a scavenger hunt, to find all the hidden ducks.

Prizes were awarded and fun was had by all!

This past Thursday was National Day of Prayer. Residents and leaders of Bledsoe County, met on the court house lawn, to pray. The Bledsoe County High School choir, led by Mr. Tim Hawn, sang several beautiful songs prior to the prayer time.

Specific prayer included our children, schools, churches, military, city, county and state,

Although it was a DAY of prayer, we should all remember that we need DAILY prayer.

This past week was both fun and busy, doing what we love.

Beginning with last Sunday, when our church, First Southern Baptist, honored one of the charter members. Preacher Jim Whitaker said it well, when he said, "there is no one more deserving than Reed Sells."

A beautiful service included some of Mr. Reed's favorite hymns; a slide show of his life; County Mayor, Gregg Ridley, presenting a proclomation from Bledsoe County; City Mayor, Winky Cagle, presenting the key to the city; and Sandy Dodson, presenting flowers to Mrs. Lola and daughters, Karla and Karen.

A beautiful tree was planted in Mr. Reed's honor, followed by a wonderful lunch, prepared by the First Southern members

In attendance with Mr. Reed and Mrs. Lola, were their two daughters and sons-in-law, (5) grandchildren (and (2) spouses), and (2) great-grand children.

We have only known the Sells family for two (2) years, but we have heard so many testimonies of the character and integrity of Mr. Reed. His family is a visual of the kind, caring, Christian man he is.

We were honored to capture these moments, that will be forever memories, for the Sells family. May God bless each of you!

The students of Pikeville Elementary School had a blast yesterday! They jogged (3) laps, and had pictures made with their medals, along with, class pictures, and buddy pictures. They learned about their health with Mrs. Beverly Carver and THEN they ran, jumped, slid and had the time of their lives on (4) fun blow ups!

Some of the adults joined in and let their inner child loose and they had a blast!

The staff and faculty joined in with the PTO and some of the high school cheerleaders came over to motivate the runners and man the blow ups areas. What an awesome day!
