Downtown Knoxville & UT Campus Engagement I met Emilyn and Weston right outside the Market Square garage. They were standing there looking all fancy with their adorable little pup.

Hope Resource Center Mini Sessions I started the Hope Resource Center Mini Session Fundraiser in 2020 when the pandemic hit, and they couldn’t have their traditional in-person event.
