Spring at UT Gardens in Knoxville offers a natural backdrop that feels both open and inviting—soft greenery, winding paths, and just enough color to signal a new season. It was a fitting setting for this family session. The Young Family is navigating a stage of life that is active and fun with littles under foot.
With three children under seven, the pace of the session reflected the pace of their everyday life—lots of movement, quick transitions, and moments of closeness in between. Rather than centering on posed perfection, the focus stayed on keeping everyone comfortable and engaged.
For many families in this season, life feels full in every sense of the word. There are schedules to manage, growing personalities to guide, and a quiet awareness of how quickly children move from one stage to the next. Choosing to document it can feel like one more thing on an already long list. That’s why sessions are thoughtfully structured to feel clear and well-paced, offering direction where needed while allowing room for genuine interaction.
Below are a few highlights from their time together. Scroll to see some of my favorites from the full gallery.
