Two weekends ago, I had the GREAT privilege of photographing
the Magnolia Farm Hoe-Down, a fundraising event for the Foundation Fighting
Blindness.
The event took place at the Magnolia Farm- home of the
Davidson family, who hosted THIS Bridal Shower for my sister in law, and whose
daughter Kathryn I took THESE senior photos of last month.
For 9 years (non-consecutive), the Davidson family has held
the Hoe-Down on their beautiful property. It is a fun-filled event for young
and old that ultimately supports a greater cause, as all proceeds go to the
Foundation.
Here is a sampling of the 800+ photos that I took. Get ready
for what might be the longest post in Life Through a Lens history.
There were LOTS of activities, including:
A Mechanical Bull
A Bounce House
Skeet Shooting

More Mechanical Bull Action
Horseback Rides
Face Painting
A Greased Pole Climb
Karaoke
Pig Chases
And just good old fashioned fun with friends, family, and of course food!
After dinner, Tom & The Cats performed for a dancing crowd,
and the evening was polished off with
and the evening was polished off with
the best fireworks show in the greater Southeast.

P.S. A BIG thanks to Emily for helping me give Life Through a Lens a much needed facelift!

i think the ones i react to the most are of the lady dancing by herself with a beer. it's like she wants to break it down but isn't sure since it's a hoe-down. maybe she is trying to redefine the event but keep the name... either way, there is not one but two pictures of her! beer in hand, alone, breaking the thematic tone of the day with some awesome(ly bad) hip hop inspired moves. #happiness
black and white fireworks are kick butt.
