A Sunny Winter Melton Hill Engagement Session Sun in the winter is rare here so when I get it during a portrait session, it does not go by unnoticed. The sun is literally my best friend when I’m shooting. It’s not that I hate a cloudy session, I still have cloudy sessions that I love […]

A Ritzy Carnegie Hotel Engagement Session Okay okay, the title is a little deceiving. There is a famous Carnegie you aaaaallll have heard of. It’s a historic little place in New York, and in case it’s just not coming to you, it’s Carnegie Hall. This session was not at Carnegie Hall, but at Carnegie Hotel […]

A Wintry Engagement Session at Lakeshore Park Leading up to Pamela and Neal’s wintry engagement session at Lakeshore Park, the forecast did not look good. Pamela texted me a few days before and said, “Soooo…what do we do if it rains?” Since the forecast in East TN is so unreliable, I told her let’s wait […]

A Christmas Cherokee Country Club Engagement Session Camille and Alex drove in from Arkansas for their Cherokee Country Club engagement session. They met here in good ole East Tennessee while Alex was in town visiting his family. Camille was helping out at a little boutique for the holiday season when she told her girl friend […]

Winter Maple Grove Engagement Savannah and Will might be one of the cutest couples I’ve ever shot. You are going to see so many laughing photos in their blog post because that is just who they are. Funny, giggly, hilarious people that keep each other laughing. There were also multiple occasions they had me laughing […]

Arrington Vineyards Engagement Session When Emily reached out to me as an inquiring bride, I knew immediately I would love to shoot her wedding. She is so good at being decisive and having been in the wedding industry doing hair since she was 18 years old, she knew exactly what she wanted. They booked with […]

Seven Islands State Birding Park Engagement Session I have driven past the Seven Islands State Birding Park sign on the interstate so many times. I’ve even golfed at the Seven Islands golf course multiple times. I have never actually been to or shot at this park though. When Kaitlin and Ryan asked where they should […]

Norris Dam Engagement Session I went to high school with both Keely and Travis. I’ve kept up with them on social media, and I photographed Keely’s twin sister’s wedding several years ago. I hadn’t really SEEN either one of them since high school until their Norris Dam engagement session last week though. It was like […]
