KNOXVILLE FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

  For so many parents, those first weeks feel like a blur—equal parts wonder and exhaustion. That’s why I love newborn sessions: they create a pause, a chance to take in the details that are otherwise so easy to miss. Tiny fingers curled around mom’s hand. Dad leaning in to kiss the top of his […]

I recently met the Nasri family for their maternity session at UT Gardens, and we spent the evening walking through some of my favorite spots there. It was my first time photographing them, which always makes me curious to hear their story and what they’re most looking forward to as they prepare to welcome their […]

How We Took Our Family of Five to Southern California for $60 Back at the beginning of August, our family of five — my husband, our three boys (12, 9, and 4), and me — spent five nights in Oceanside, California, staying right on the beach at The Seabird Resort. We flew Southwest from home, […]

Photographing a family multiple times is one of the best parts of this job. With each session, there’s a little more familiarity, a little more ease—and that definitely rang true with the McCrary family. This was our third session together, and it was such a joy to reconnect and document this new season for them. […]

There are some families you photograph once and secretly cross your fingers that you’ll get to photograph them again—the Duncan family is one of those. I first met Zoe, Jacob, and their sweet boy Toryn last fall during a family session at UT Gardens. We captured smiles, snuggles, and all the goodness that comes with […]

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 […]
