Knoxville Newborn + Family Photographer

I love the way Brookney described the photos they hoped to have at the end of their session – ” I’m really hoping to capture intimate, special moments through these photos more so than staged group shots… though a few of those would be fine.” That pretty much sums up the way I run my […]

Some families just have that natural flow in front of the camera—and these two? They nailed it. I even joked that they could teach posing to my families. This was my very first time meeting them, and what an absolute honor it was to document their sweet new chapter as they welcomed their first baby. […]

Fun fact – this is the second family I’ve gotten to photograph where the dad is on the baseball coaching staff for the TN Vols. Now, this is important in my family because my oldest son is OBSESSED with baseball and before both of these sessions, he asked if I would get the coach’s autograph […]

Y’all know I love photographing newborns, well really anytime, but especially when older siblings are involved! This sweet family just welcomed their third baby – a little girl and we had such a great time at the studio documenting this new season! Big brother and sister were so sweet with their new baby sister, which […]

When I tell people that I homeschool our 3 boys (whether we’re in a restaurant or I run into an old public-school-friend mom), I generally get one of two responses: either they say something like “Wow! That’s awesome… I could never.” OR they tell me they were homeschooled, their aunt Suzy homeschools, or they’re considering […]

From the moment I walked up to this sweet family at UT Gardens, I knew this was going to be a beautiful final gallery! Lairame did an outstanding job coordinating their outfits and they are just so darn photogenic! They definitely made my job really easy. We had a wonderful time exploring different parts of […]

When I tell you that we timed this UT Gardens maternity session perfectly for the weather – I mean about 4 seconds after I closed my mini-van door and sat my camera bag in the passenger seat, the sky op-ened-up. I had texted Jeni earlier in the day to see if she and Trey still […]

I typically start these posts with a snippet about the family – how I met them, how our session time went. Well I met the mama in these photos when I was abooouuut one or two years old. So I have literal decades of stories I could tell you! With moms who were best friends […]

Motherhood sessions don’t make up the majority of my calendar, but they are one my faaavorite sessions to photograph! As a mama of three boys, this particular session was extra sweet. The Craine family has two brothers and they are soooo cute and super silly – the ultimate recipe for great photos! We had so much […]

Alright, forgive the corny alliteration, but as I was planning this blog post, I realized that the factors in choosing who you should hire to photograph your new baby boil down to 3 things and they all start with P. 🙂 Before we dive into them, I want to acknowledge that this decision can be overwhelming.
