JACKSON — Robert Mitchell (Mitch) Carter died Tuesday, April 8 at his lake house in Decatur County.
He was born on December 8, 1940, in Rutherford County and was best known as the owner/operator of The Moore Studio in Jackson, Tenn.
Through the years, Mr. Carter photographed thousands of events and individuals, including weddings, seniors, family portraits, and was the official photographer for the Miss Tennessee Pageant for decades.
