Bicentennial + Capitol for Liz & Drew’s Engagement I immediately knew when I first chatted with Liz that we would make such a great fit. Our brains work so similarly. As their engagement session at the Tennessee Capitol began unfolding, it solidified that opinion even more. I love it so much when I just click […]

Biltmore Estate Engagement Session I met Sasha and Dillon at Biltmore Estate for their engagement session, and we had the best time. The thing I love about Sasha is she knows exactly what she wants. Before their session, Sasha sent me screenshots of different locations she wanted at Biltmore. There were specific shots, specific backdrops, […]

Sunny Seven Islands Engagement Session Rachael and Preston had the prettiest light at their Seven Islands engagement session with my associate photographer, Cyd. Since my associate photographer took these, I wasn’t present at the engagement session. When I get their photos downloaded, it’s so fun to put faces to names and see how adorable these […]

Rainy Marblegate Farm Engagement This engagement session has two important things I want to talk about today. First, the weather. It was a gorgeous day on the day of Emily and Eric’s engagement session. They hired my associate team so Andrea with AC Goodman Photography planned to meet them for their engagement session at Marblegate […]

Tennessee Capitol Engagement Session in Nashville, TN I drove from Knoxville to Nashville to shoot Taylor and Brant’s engagement session.

A Summer UT Gardens Engagement Session A few days before a session with me, an automated email goes out asking my clients to please arrive 5 minutes early to their session. This is my way of hopefully getting to start on time. See, when we decide on the start time for your portrait session, it’s […]

Library Engagement Photos at Hodges Library If you’re reading this, you are probably somewhere in the southeast. Most likely in East Tennessee. You know the temperatures here lately have been scorching; suffocatingly hot. Right now, I’m scheduling sessions as late as possible to have the coolest part of the day and the prettiest lighting. Sometimes, […]

A Beautiful, Sunny Lakeshore Park Engagement Session I don’t know if you’ve been to Lakeshore Park recently, but it has transformed over the last 3-5 years. I remember people asking me to photograph there pre-transformation, and while I thought it was pretty, I never offered it up as a location option to clients. Now, it […]

A Castleton Farms Sunrise Session + A Little Rain Okay, you guys, AJ’s story is about to blow your mind. I did ask permission to share a little bit of his journey on here, and he said I could. I realize I don’t even know half the story he and his parents and Laura have […]
