Taylor Hicks in Jacksonville

November 24, 2009  |  Documentary, Featured

Taylor Hicks was the headliner for a concert and tree lighting at the St. Johns Town Center Mall in Jacksonville, Florida on November 21, 2009. My dear friend Kristin hired me to come and document the day for the Simon Malls corporate offices. The day included good food, runway fashion by Roxtar Couture, events for the children and bunches of shopping.
As I have said before, not a bad day at the office.

  1. Wonderful shots of Taylor!!! The last one is breathtaking.

  2. Fine photos. The “Taylor’s eye view” is surreal……..almost like it was superimposed .
    Also especially enjoyed the all black pic with a singing Taylor Head with mike………

  3. Beautiful shots of one amazingly talented entertainer with a huge heart for making people happy!
    I agree with Laurie. There is something about a light shining behind Taylor♥

  4. Thank you! Wonderful photos.

    You were very nice to our family after the tree lighting. We have your card & will be in contact after the holiday.

  7. Thanks for some great pics, not only of Taylor, but the interesting perspective you got with the lighting. I love the one with the tree! And Taylor w/the kids. He is good with his fans for sure.

  8. Thanks for these beautiful photos of Taylor Hicks at the Christmas Tree lighting. My favorite is the next-to-last picture, the BW of Taylor holding his microphone.

    Beautiful work.

  9. Superb work! Good skills! Interesting subject. Taylor Hicks is a man of many faces – silly to sex to star. You caught the star!

  10. Lots of people, lots of singing, lots of fun! So glad Taylor Hicks was able to join your event to welcome Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus to Jacksonville. Thanks for sharing the photo album — you did a wonderful job; and thanks to your friend Kristin for asking you to do the photographic duties.

    Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas

  11. Such a great subject with Taylor-he makes photography so easy because he’s so photogenic and such a natural talent. Its not often we as fans get the “behind Taylor” view so these are great shots that we treasure. Keeps us honest as fans when we get a glimpse into what HE sees from the stage. Thanks so much-

    Glad it was cold there-the two Christmases I spent in Jax were too warm-somehow shorts and tshirts just don’t cut it for me on Christmas-but then its a cultural thing and nothing against the great city of Jacksonville-the hospitality was fantastic.

    Thanks for allowing Taylor’s fans to see these!! Happy Holidays!

  12. Great pictures!I had a great time there and hope they will have Taylor back!He’s a great performer!

  13. Thanks so much for sharing these beautiful photos. It is rare that we get a view from the statge…what Taylor sees! That is a real gift!
