Greek Wedding at The Press Room I have photographed one other Greek wedding in my career. It was supposed to be in this very same church, but when COVID hit, they had to move it to an airbnb. They still did the traditions, but it was a very different experience than Anastasia and Ellis’s wedding. […]

Kincaid House Wedding As we prepped the timeline for Julie and John’s day, Julie wanted to make sure one key thing happened. That was for it to be relaxing and peaceful. She didn’t want to be frantically running around feeling rushed and chaotic. So, we built in ample time to get dressed, do their first […]

A Romantic Baxter Gardens Maternity Session I photographed Raquel and Garrett’s wedding back in 2017, and now, they are welcoming their first babe into the world. I love that they have allowed me to walk alongside them once again for another major milestone. Seeing couples I photographed years ago is truly like a little happy […]

Floral Newborn Session This sweet newborn session was at my studio with little Sophie. I always ask parents to bring things that may be special to them. Blankets, hats, bows, stuffed animals, outfits, swaddles, etc. Sophie’s mama brought a floral blanket that I am completely obsessed with. I laid it over top of the cushion […]

It was another day of beautiful weather, and we could see that Smoky Mountain view perfectly. Spring and Sterling met at The University of Tennessee at an engineering party. It didn’t take long […]

A Spring UT Gardens 1 Year Session Goodness, you guys. I cannot get over how stinking cute this little bit is!!! I have known this family since Caroline and Christian were engaged. It has been one of the sweetest journeys to follow along. People still ask ALL the time about their wedding photos. They had […]

Spring UT Gardens Engagement Session It’s inevitable that at some point in my engagement sessions, I ask the couple to dance. The guy usually looks at me like are you crazy, Amanda? Then, I assure them it’s nothing tough. They’ll just sway and slow dance, and when I prompt him, he’ll give his fiancée a […]

UT Gardens Spring Family Session I’ve been asked a lot recently about how I get children to cooperate during sessions. “How do I get my toddler to smile? How do I get my toddler to do what you say?” Well, at this UT Gardens spring family session, I paid particular attention to things I did […]
