One of the most beautiful things about early spring in East Tennessee is how quickly the landscape transforms. What begins as the muted tones of winter suddenly fills with color, texture, and life. During March and April, flowering trees and ground blooms appear almost overnight. Spring in East Tennessee moves quickly, but during those few weeks when the Bradford Pear, Eastern Redbud, Flowering Dogwood, Cherry Blossom, Forsythia and Creeping Phlox are all in bloom, the landsc

Senior sessions are never meant to fit inside a single box — and this one was the perfect reminder of just how much beauty there is in variety. We work together to come up with a variety of locations, outfits and ways to incorporate your unique personality. This senior session told the story of who she is right now, in all the layers that make her unique. We began where so much of her journey has unfolded — at her high school and local community college here in Greeneville.

Your session should feel like you — whether that’s bold and editorial, soft and sentimental, athletic and driven, creative and a little outside the box, or simple and timeless. The goal isn’t to fit you into a mold. The goal is to create images that feel like art — art that reflects your personality, your story, your energy. When I photograph seniors here in East Tennessee, I’m not just showing up with a camera and a pose list. We’re creating something together. Art you’ll st

Being welcomed into someone’s home is always an honor for me — but especially when they’ve just welcomed a new baby into theirs. As a mom four times over, I know what those first days at home with a newborn feel like. They are tender and exhausting and beautiful all at once. The emotions are big. The days feel long. Everything feels new. And I’m here to tell you — those feelings and days? Those are the ones you will want to remember. A year from now. Five years from now. Even

There’s something undeniably sacred about an in-home session. Not because everything is perfectly styled.Not because the light always falls just right.And certainly not because anyone is performing for the camera. An in-home session isn’t about impressing anyone. It’s about being fully present with your people — in the very space where your real life unfolds. Your home holds your story. It’s where you’ve prayed hard prayers, celebrated big wins, and folded countless loads of

How to Make Your Couples Session So Good You Never Want It to End Your couples session isn’t about perfectly posed photos — it’s about slowing down, leaning into each other, and capturing the real, joy-filled connection that already exists between you. 1. Have fun. Seriously. This isn’t a performance. It’s not about perfect smiles. It’s about you two being you. The more relaxed and playful you are, the better your photos will feel. 2. Bring an activity. Build Legos. Make coff

The bigness of walking into someone’s home after they’ve had a baby is never lost on me. When I really pause to think about how huge that moment is, I’m completely blown away and deeply honored. Those first days and weeks at home with a new baby are a constant give and take—learning and relearning rhythms, routines, and what life looks like with a brand-new human in the house. The families who trust me and welcome me into their homes slowly begin to feel like family themselve

Playing in the snow the last few days has me reminiscing about this incredible session with Natasha and Cameron last year. The love they share is so beautiful, and the way they treat the people around them is tender and deeply genuine. They laugh with their whole hearts and smile with their entire bodies. They’re the kind of people who make you feel truly seen and deeply loved just by being in the same space. I feel so blessed to have met Natasha and couldn’t be happier for h

Do you ever wonder how we get such relaxed and candid photos? The secret is simple — have a plan, but stay flexible. I always encourage my clients to think of something fun to do together. Don’t make something up just because you think it’ll look good in photos — do the things you already love doing. Madi told me the kids have been having the sweetest, old-fashioned summer — playing in the hose, hula hooping, tossing a football, and eating popsicles. All while visiting Madi’s

Sometimes the sweetest sessions happen right at home. No fancy outfits, no rushing out the door, no stress—just a simple morning together. That’s exactly what this front porch mini with mama and her boys was all about. We spent the morning blowing bubbles, drawing with chalk, swinging in the yard, hiding in the tent, making mud pies, and sneaking snacks in between. Nothing staged or complicated—just childhood in its truest form. These are the moments I hope this mama treasure

Some sessions just fill your heart right up—and this one with little Ivy and her sweet mama was one of those. At 18 months old, Ivy is full of curiosity and joy. She lit up at the sound of her mom singing Itsy Bitsy Spider, carried her beloved bunny everywhere, and snuggled into her mom with the sweetest little giggles. These are the moments that will always be my favorite to capture—the chubby hands turning the pages of favorite books, the way a treasured toy is loved on,
