I was born and raised in Illinois and moved to the great southern state of Tennessee. I never dreamed that I would be a Knoxville wedding photographer or a Knoxville family photographer, and I am blessed that my art allows me to meet new couples and new families.

So, I know you’re asking how I made my way down to Tennessee. Well, I had to get out of that COLDNESS! No, for reals. Have you ever just wanted to pick up and go somewhere and start over? I was in my first semester of Graduate School in Illinois and I hated it. I felt like everyone had moved on but me, and this Type 3 wasn’t having any of that. I applied to a bunch of Criminology Programs around the country and fell in love with The University of Tennessee (and the people) the minute I stepped onto campus. I came. I saw. I got a job and then my Master's Degree. And then I met a boy.
A pretty cool boy who became my husband. James and I met in the pre-Tinder days at a good ole bar (sorry mom and dad) and fifteen years later we are still together. In fact, we just celebrated our 11 Year Wedding Anniversary! And guess what? We have this super cute little girl together. Her name is Ella and she is officially the love of my life. I can say without a doubt that she makes me a better person.
I hear you thinking in your head, “Well, how did you become a photographer then?” OH! Let me tell you! I fell in love with my wedding photographers! I thought that what they did was pretty darn cool, and I felt like it would be the perfect creative outlet for me. I talked James’ ear off for almost a solid year before he surprised me with my first camera. That moment was the start of this crazy photography adventure.
As of this typing, I have photographed hundreds of weddings from all over the Knoxville area! I am also one of the few photographers permitted to photograph in The Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Voted one of the Best Knoxville Photographers, I am adaptable, knowledgeable, and flexible in any required shooting condition. That is the difference that experience makes, and that is why you should hire me for your wedding photography.

Did you know that some of my recent posts are from years ago?!
I’m not here to toot my own horn, but being consistent has been my main goal as a photographer.
The minute you see one of my photos, just want you to say “that’s an Erin photo.” 🥰

Yes, I’m in the Smokies a lot, but just a hop, skip, and a jump from my house is the Knoxville Botanical Gardens. And when I tell you that this place is a year-round stunner, I mean it.

Who made the rule that engagement photos have to be all pastels and floral prints?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wear the black dress.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wear the black dress that makes you feel like a villain in a romance novel. The one that says, “I could haunt this house or I could marry the love of my life.” Dealer’s choice.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Engagement photos aren’t a dress rehearsal for being soft and palatable. They’re a whole-a** vibe check.

Captain’s Log: Day 31 of January
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have not seen a wedding in weeks. The sound of a camera shutter is but a distant memory. Instead, I find myself lost in the treacherous land of taxes—a place where spreadsheets roam free, and the only thing colder than the winter air is my accountant’s stare.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hope remains. Warmer days, golden-hour vows, and the sweet sound of “we’re ready to book” are on the horizon. If you’re out there, fellow photographers, stay strong. Spring is coming.
