By Sheri Oneal If you are a vegetarian you might want to stop reading now and cover your eyes but I have to say I am excited that us folks on the West side of Nashville now have our very own Porter Road Butcher shop! While working on the Nashville Loves Food project I was introduced to PRB’s owners, Chris Carter and James Peisker while shooting for the Lithographics, Inc. marketing piece “Nashville Loves Food” with Melissa Corbin and Joe Smith. Over the past few years in my quest to be healthier I have found that I enjoy fresh quality grass fed meat best (there is a huge difference in flavor). As an independent small business owner I also see…

By Sheri Oneal I love the choices we have for food in Nashville and I also love coffee! One of my favorite places to go is the Frothy Monkey, they have great coffee and food! I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing restaurateur Ryan Pruitt and the chef Chase Ingalls last year for the “Nashville Loves Food” marketing piece I did for Lithographics, Inc. with Melissa Corbin and Joe Smith. I had a great visit as always and enjoyed the experience, boy do I love my job! These are two great guys, and the Frothy Monkey is an awesome place to have business meetings. They have several locations throughout Nashville…

By Sheri Oneal Folks living in Nashville especially those on the East side know all about how wonderful Marché’s ever changing seasonal menu is to the pallet. Marché Artisan Foods is a European style cafe and market located in “Five Points” on the East side of Nashville in Tennessee. They serve breakfast, lunch & dinner and the experience is just like sitting in a cafe in Europe. They offer a full coffee & espresso bar, house made pastries, gourmet grocery items as well as fresh fish, meats and cheeses. My first “Marché” experience was the apple smoked bacon BLT, although I no longer see it on the menu it is my favorite…

By Sheri Oneal I recently had the opportunity to shoot some corporate images of Joe Smith, the creator behind “Art Dude Creative.” Joe has been a friend since he moved back to town several years ago and we have had the opportunity to work on several projects over the years including Comfort U and Rosie Posie kids clothing. Joe also built my company web site and completely customized it to work the way I wanted it to, no flash, quick loading images and easy to navigate. I have total control over the back end so I can add , change and edit any content whenever I want. Perfect for someone like…

By Sheri Oneal If you have not had a chance yet to check out Barista Parlor over in East Nashville you should. Andy Mumma is the owner of this cool coffee shop with some of the best coffee in a hip atmosphere on the East side of Nashville. I prefer to call Andy’s coffee “speciality” because of his unique methods of producing a cup of java. He uses Hario V60, Chemex, Cafe Solo, Woodneck, and Syphon brewing methods. He also uses a cold brew process that uses large towers to brew the coffee before it is chilled. Aside from the coffee, Barista offers unique chocolates from around the world as…

By Sheri Oneal Dev Digital helps companies and individuals create their own identity on the web through web design and programming. I recently shot some environmental portraits of Mitch Ballard and Peter Marcum, founding partners of Dev Digital, for promotion of their new downtown location in Nashville. I believe these days people want to know who they are doing business with and good photography can really make a difference in connecting with potential clients. I have known Mitch and Peter for many years, love what they do and wish them the best with their new location!  They have hosted my site for years and I have been extremely happy with their…

Over the holiday season, my dog Deisel developed mysterious, chronic shoulder pain. After x-rays and multiple visits to my regular vet, we were told it was likely a pinched nerve, requiring a specialist. My friend Carol Smock of the “Brown Dog Foundation” then referred me to Dr. Marc Smith at Natchez Trace Veterinary Services. Healing Deisel: A Journey to Natchez Trace Veterinary Services After several months of research and trial-and-error treatments, Dr. Smith took a chance and treated Deisel for a tick bite. We had ruled out everything else, and I hadn’t been using Frontline. Within just two weeks of starting his medication, Deisel was almost as good as new!…
