It was such a pleasure to do a portrait session with Coach Vince Dooley. I was hired to take some photographs of Coach Dooley for a magazine article about his passion for horticulture and gardens. I met him at his Athens home, and basically had a private tour of the garden - with a few stops for some photos! He was quite the Southern Gentleman, showing me around as if I were a guest. He stopped and showed me many of the flowers and plants, telling me their names, about their origin, when they bloomed, and other great information, even when we weren't going to photograph him in from of those plants. Coach Dooley is particularly passionate about his Japanese garden. I had no idea there were so many varieties of the Japanese Maple, but he had quite a few. Here are a few of my favorite images.
