Lacie + Anthony had the most beautiful engagement session at Tsali Notch Vineyard this weekend! This shoot was extra special to me because Lacie is my cousin! I will forever be grateful that God gave me this little business as a way to serve everyone…. but especially my family! I have watched Lacie’s relationship with […]

Jocey is a senior this year at Tellico Plains High School… So how did she end up in Downtown Knoxville for senior portraits? There’s a ton of beautiful scenery in Tellico, but that’s what you come to expect for a Tellico senior! Jocey said she didn’t know exactly what she wanted for her senior photos… […]

When Drew + Stepheny’s big wedding at the Lee University Chapel turned into a small, intimate gathering, my heart went out to them. No one could have seen COVID coming, but it has taken an incredible hit on brides, grooms, and weddings as an industry. I absolutely hate it for my sweet clients who aren’t […]

Enjoy this picture of me and my freshman year roomie… I’m taking a break from my typical photo-blogging today because I really want to serve my clients. And a lot of my clients last year were high school seniors who are now getting ready to transition into college. For some people, that’s exciting. It’s the […]

I took Jillian’s prom pictures back in the spring and loved every minute of it, so when she messaged me about doing her senior pictures, I was SO excited! She is so beautiful and has such a sweet personality, and I’m really glad I got to spend time photographing her and getting to know her. […]

You may have noticed that I’ve been MIA on social media over the past 2 weeks. If you’ve been wondering where I am, I have your answers here! From July 14-21, I was vacationing at the beach with my sweet Atkins family. And then from July 22-28, I was on a mission trip to Puerto […]

This is Sam, and I have the honor of calling him my first Class of 2019 Senior! We did his session at the end of June, and today I have some time to blog about it. Before I dive into the details of this session I want to tell you all a little bit more […]
