Lifestyle Family Session There is this thing called Lifestyle Photography that a lot of people don’t really understand. Lifestyle photography is less about the poses and perfect smiles and more about the real, everyday interactions you have between each other in your own home. When a family books a lifestyle session with me, I ask […]

2017 Fall Family Photos This year has been crazy. I knew becoming a mom would take away a lot of my time as a photographer. I also knew that I still wanted to be a full time photographer. But here’s what I didn’t know… how extremely difficult and picky I was going to be with […]

Lifestyle Photos Since my fall schedule was and still is crazy packed, we decided to do Marlee and Matt’s lifestyle photos in the morning on a Friday. The forecast ended up being rain but we would have been shooting inside anyway so we kept it scheduled. I made “window light” using my umbrella flash and […]

6 Month Photos I can’t decide who 6 month Eylan looks like more on the outside. She definitely has her daddy’s tan skin tone and her mommy’s sweet smile but everything else is a perfect mixture of Austin and Nikki. But when it comes to her personality, she is exactly both her mom and dad. […]

Sevierville, TN Family Session If you noticed the name of the blog, you probably thought it was really obscure. Sevierville, TN? So the session was in an entire city? Well, not quite. But it was literally on the side of the road on the way back to my parents lake property. We drove and drove […]

Sunrise Session at the Fruit and Berry Patch I had never shot during the sunrise hour at the fruit and berry patch before, but turns out, it’s one of the most gorgeous times to shoot there. Not only are the grounds completely empty, but the sun rises on the side of the mountains, so you […]

Adair Park This family is incredible. I met them down at Adair Park at 8 am for a mini family session last week. As I started culling the photos, I realized something. I have started taking pictures of children totally different than what I used to. It’s funny how situations and circumstances change the way […]

Adoption I am anti-abortion. Therefore, I am very pro adoption. There are very few things we can do in life that leaves a legacy like having children. That legacy completely changes for the better when we, as parents, choose to help another parent by giving their baby a happier chance at life. I see such […]

Knoxville Botanical Gardens There is nothing I love more than a good garden and Knoxville Botanical Gardens has so many to choose from. Seriously though. I’ve photographed so many sessions here this year and every time I can make each one look different and unique. This is a section of the gardens I didn’t even […]

Bicentennial Mall Park I met the Reese family through a bride that I get to work with in September. They are so sweet and so much fun… but their baby!!! Is he not the CUTEST??? He is 6 months old here and totally stole my heart! When you have a baby, the whole show gets […]
