Branding headshot of a woman in downtown Knoxville, TN.

Allow me to introduce you to my lovely friend Abbey! She contacted me because she needed some new professional photos for work, as well as personal branding portraits. She made the work so easy.

Mother and father with their baby at Meads Quarry.

The air was crisp and chilly on this November afternoon, but little Caroline was a champ for her one-year portraits at Meads Quarry. Her little hands and nose kept getting chilly and would turn red, but there were only a few tears! After being wrapped in an afghan and being snuggled by mom and dad, […]

This month I had a photo session with the. coolest. kid. ever! Michael David is the sweetest little dinosaur aficionado you will ever meet. And just look at those sweet strawberry blond curls!

“Our pets’ heads are falling off!”  “Harry, I took care of it!” It was a blast working with fellow photographer and dog lover, Krista! We work well together because (as I already mentioned) we both love dogs. She has two huge German shepherds! We are also both able to quote almost the entirety of Dumb […]

Siblings goofing off at Admiral Farragut Park.

Picture a lovely spring evening on the shores of the Tennessee River. Wading birds, ducks, and seagulls line the water and the banks. A few boats cruise off in the distance. Beautiful houses line the banks of the opposite shore. A soft, cool breeze floats by and swirls around your body. This was the setting […]

Portrait of a mother and daughter in a swing at Baker Creek Preserve.

“I’m Spirit! I’m Spirit!” Little Zora proceeded to prance around like a pony and whinny all around Baker Creek Preserve, yelling this at the top of her tiny, little lungs. Spirit’s parents (Jen and Neal,) are pretty used to this and take it in great stride. Apparently, they had heard this same thing quite a […]

The wedding kiss at Market Square rooftop wedding.

It was such a pleasure to meet Jen and Michael! I had never met either of them before being referred to them, but they are both so down-to-earth and friendly, we felt like old friends.
