Hello friend!! I am so thrilled you are here and browsing the site! Finding the perfect photographer for you and your life long memories is a pretty important task. My style is one that fits well with those that want a timeless, classic, true to life gallery that is full of laughter and joy.

So… long time no blogging!!  Sorry for the absence.  I have been horrible at getting my blogging done, my apologies. I had the pleasure of photographing the sweet Widener boys for the second time this spring and they are such cuties!  Momma usually does fall pictures with the boys but really wanted some of her […]

I have had the pleasure of knowing Tara since I was probably born!  Our parents went to school together and we grew up learning to water ski off the back of her dad’s boat (may that beautiful boat rest in peace).  Little known fact, I went to 8th grade formal with her little brother Aaron. […]

I had so much fun last week meeting the precious Leschak family.  Mom and dad are the sweetest and the kids are just precious.  Check out Stephen’s handsome smile, Olivia’s gorgeous hair and sweet Andrew has the most stunning baby blues!  This is a house full of life and love.

Michelle and her precious family are always such a joy to be around and bring life to any day.  Last week when we had a chance to venture out was no different.  They are a beautiful family so full of love.

This little angel couldn’t be more precious.  Little Miss Evey, turned three a couple of days after our session last week.  She is every bit the energetic, bow loving princess full of energy and smiles.  She was a little shy at first and then she warmed right up.  We even got mom in on some […]

I love photographing families with older children.  As our kids get older we seem to forget that they continue to change and grow from year to year just as much as they did when they were littles! As kids get older it is increasingly harder to get everyone together for family photos.  Trust me, I […]

It was such a pleasure to take family portraits for the Hall family.  We enjoyed a beautiful evening at the Knoxville Botanical Gardens and had an opportunity to play under a stunning tree bursting with fall color.  Their daughters, Caroline and Victoria have such a sweet bond with each other. I hope you enjoy!   […]

I had the privilege of photographing a dear friend and her family on a beautiful December day in East Tennessee.  I have known Cayla since she was in high school and have loved getting to know her sweet family better over the years. Did I mention, just how GORGEOUS the entire family is?  And don’t […]
