Now is the time to get those college applications in!  October is the month to get in for early admissions and a great time to go for college visits.  If you haven't taken the SAT yet you had better get on it!  I know a lot of people that are making visits this week.  Go out and have some fun and visit some schools.

Yesterday we had a little bit of everything in the studio from babies and children up to seniors.  We went on location for a few shots late yesterday afternoon and I am posting a few shots here.

We have been working for the last month or two on a display at Georgia
Square Mall and finally we got it installed this morning.  We are on
the upper lever outside Belk going towards Hollister.  If you are in
Athens shopping be sure and check it out.

As of last week the season finally changed, and as of this week the weather did too.  I love the cooler weather, the changing leaves and the sports that come with this time of year.  Trips to the mountains with stops for boiled peanuts are always another thing we enjoy.  But, Fall is also a busy time of year and we don't get to do some of those things we always look forward to.  Competition cheerleading season starts as well as football season and at our studio Santa even comes in October.  So over the last few weeks we have been photographing a lot of cheerleaders, homecoming photos and gymnastics teams.  Senior portraits are still happening, and it is a great time for them, and we are seeing more families and babies than in the summer months.

Anyway, this is from Jeff's senior portrait session this past weekend.

The leaves are already starting to change!  Seems very early to me, but it made me think that I need to let everyone know about what a great time it is for outdoor portraits.  Last year we did some of my favorite outdoor senior portraits in the fall with the beautiful leaves in the background.  The problem is that you are back in school now and the times are limited.  We have several locations for beautiful outdoor portraits so give us a call and let us find a time and location to make your senior portrait really special.

I just spent most of the morning updating some things on both of our web pages.  Some of the gallery images and all of the upcoming specials have been changed.  If you haven't looked at them in a while be sure and check them out.

Bentley Photography

Also, I have to tell you this story.

Cammie was at a friends last night wearing a "I Got Flashed At Bentley's" t-shirt and someone asked her if she worked here.  Of course she said she did.  Then the girl said that she got our catalog in the mail and loved the images, that was great to hear.  Cammie asked her why she didn't come to us for her senior portraits and she said her mother made her go to someone from her church who was a famous wedding photographer.  She wished she had come to Bentley's and hopes to come in the Spring, I hope she doesn't wait that long.  Don't let this be you!  You are only a senior once, and it goes by fast!

Now I just have to post an image from a few weeks ago.
