A dance school teacher and her high school friend have formed a company to help others capture their memories.
“We are doing a little bit of photography and scrapbook days at the dance school,” said Leslie Hall Wright, owner of Leslie Hall School of Dance, summing up her and Kelly Vicks’s business, Captured Moments.
Vick, who teaches fifth grade at Middle Tennessee Christian School, is an avid photographer and through Captured Moments is available to take photos of weddings, dance recitals, family portraits and other special events.
The pair can create a slideshow of photographs that clients can show at parties or receptions.
Captured Moments also is reaching out to the scrapbooking community. The company is holding an all-day scrapbooking event Feb. 7 from 9 a.m.-9 p.m.
For $45, scrapbookers get their own 6-foot table to work on for the day; breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks; door prize and other entertainment.
“They get to scrapbook all day long with no kids, no husbands and no distractions,” Wright said.
This summer, Wright and Vick are considering making an attempt to break a world record in scrapbooking.
“We are pretty excited about it,” Wright said of the new business. “We both have full-time jobs. This is something we are doing on the side for fun, and we wanted to do something together.”

There’s good news for those in the market for a new home.
Mortgage rates are continuing to drop. The Tennessee average for a 30-year fixed mortgage hit below 4.6 percent last week, according to real estate Web site Zillow.com.
The week prior mortgage rates hovered just above 5 percent, according to Seattle-based Zillow, which compiles rates quoted by 4,000 participating mortgage lenders to potential borrowers.
