Welcome to Rinkes Photography!

Welcome to the first post on the new Rinkes Photography blog!

I'm Paul Rinkes, the proprietor of Rinkes Photography. I focus on child, family and pet photography, and I'm writing this from the fabulous Rinkes Photography World Headquarters in Franklin, Tennessee ... my administrative assistant, Trotter, is at my side and the rest of the family isn't too far away.

As you can see from my site, I'm a natural light photographer. I strive to capture those candid moments when people's defenses are down and they're not doing the "fake smile" thing. I try to get you and your family in their natural elements, because those make the best photos. I also try to be sensitive to what moms want -- simplicity, quick response and a great value for the investment.

Rinkes Photography is introducing itself to Westhaven by holding two open houses at the Residents' Club theatre:

Saturday, Sept. 27 -- 10 a.m.-1 p.m.
Wednesay, Oct. 1 -- 12:30-3 p.m.

Come meet the staff, see some samples of our work, and pick up an exclusive coupon for a free 8x10 print -- it's a $40 value, and how else can you make forty bucks for eating homemade cookies? :)

We're having a Holiday special : a 45-minute photo session and 100 holiday cards for $225. On our website, click on "Ho Ho Ho!" in the lower right corner for all the fine print. Without fear of overstatement, I can safely say that this the greatest deal in the history of mankind.

Check out the card designs we're featuring, by clicking on "Cards & Custom Design" under the "Galleries" tab. You'll be thrilled with the photos you receive, and you'll make all your friends and family jealous!

I took this at Christmas last year. Hailey had been up all night, waiting on Santa, so her mood on Christmas Day was, shall we say, a bit less wonderful than normal.
