in Columbus have photographed
hundreds, if not thousands, of
weddings, senior portraits, chil-

everything else in between. This
past year, however, they took on an
assignment of a different kind when
they became official photographers
of the Natchez Trace Parkway. Their
mission? To travel the 444-mile
recreational road that touches three
states — Mississippi, Alabama and
Tennessee — and capture images
of scenic spots, wildlife and people
enjoying themselves. The photo-
graphs could end up in brochures,
billboards, on social media or in
other promotional material, as well
as in Parkway visitor centers. Their
time frame? One year.
The Boisseaus were selected for
the project after going through a
rigorous process. Jan Swoope/Dispatch Staff
