My wild child || Knoxville TN Children Photographer

This is a bit of a personal blog post!  We are so excited to finally be welcoming Maddy to our family next spring when she marries my baby brother, Doug.  Although, at our house she has been “Aunt Maddy” for well over two years (shh, don’t tell!) now it is official.  I am so excited […]
