Troy + Jordan {sunrise couples session}

These two were visiting Tennessee on vacation and wanted some beautiful photos to remember the mountains by. I am always hesitant (although I'm getting a little better!) to suggest sunrise sessions, but Troy himself was a photographer, so I went for it - and he was all for it, and super excite… Read more

Thanks so much for hav… Read more

This is the first time I've done Back-to-School themed mini sessions, and I'm so excited! The theme is more of a vintage school look, which I am absolutely in LOVE with.

Isabelle {3 month baby photography}

I just realized I am WAY behind on my blogging - time to catch up!

I always h… Read more

Was when Mikael kissed the top of Ste… Read more

I can't believe how big Kason is now! It feels like just the other day I was photographing him as a sweet little newborn, and now he is sitting up and "swimming" all on his own! He still has those big beautiful blue eyes, though, and is so full of energy and personality!

We checked ou… Read more

Spring/Easter Themed Mini-Sessions {knoxville child photography}

If you know me, you know that I just can't just anything halfway. Nope. I have to go all-out. If you're gonna put in the time and effort (and money!), you might as well go all-out, amiright? And alas, photography is no exception. I just can't help it.

So for every themed mini-session se… Read more

Newborn Isabelle {knoxville tn newborn photography}

Little Isabelle was so tiny and sweet when I saw her! (since it's been a few weeks since these photos, I'm sure she has grown! My how they grow too quickly). She has the cutest little feet and nose, and I was thrilled to no end when I caught a brief smile from her!

Thank you so much to Isa… Read more

This was my last session of 2014 (I know, I know I'm late posting this! I'm playing blog catchup right now), and this session was - incredibly - the 3rd time we scheduled this! Every time we scheduled this session, the weather ended up being horrible and rainy. It's just crazy because I… Read more
