Nothing is more valuable than family. Professional family photography sessions are the perfect excuse to spend quality time with the people who matter most. Did I mention that you can also pass them down to the next generation a family heirloom? Whether you are celebrating a birthday or just want an updated family portrait, I can help document some of your family's most precious memories.
Life passes by so quickly. After looking through my family portfolio, please don't wait another minute to book an appointment! Please contact me if you would like more information about my services. For general information about my starting rates, please feel free to contact me!
Kids grow up so fast! That's why it is so important to capture their fleeting youth now before they move on to the next stage of their life. Before you know it, you'll miss tucking your little kiddos in at night and wiping dirt from their chubby cheeks. Luckily, you don't have to miss out on capturing those special moments! As a professional Knoxville Family Photographer, I can organize a photo session that is just as special and unique as your family. From candid shots to traditional family portraits, my photographs can preserve some of the best moments of your family's life.

What should you expect during a photo session with your family? Why lots of laughter of course! I know how hard it can be to act naturally in front of a photographer (unless you have a sweet little goofball in your family that enjoys stealing the spotlight and posing for the camera). That's why I'm confident my calm yet upbeat demeanor will help you unwind and truly enjoy being in the moment.
When you are thinking about where you'd like to have your shoot, try to choose a location that holds fond memories. It is a lot easier to feel relaxed when you are in a familiar location. Still not sure where you would like to take pictures? I would be happy to make some suggestions and offer styling ideas that will suit your family's specific lifestyle and preferences.
I specialize in taking documentary style photographs with natural light. Most of my family sessions showcase my clients in playful and fun situations that share are a brief glimpse into their daily life. Since I know firsthand how important it is to preserve special memories while raising your family here in Knoxville, you can be confident that I will take beautiful photos that you can cherish for years to come. I would be honored to tell the story of your family through my work. Nothing fills my photographer's heart more than capturing the raw emotion and real moments of a beautiful Southern family.
First of all she is so nice and easy to get along with. She makes the whole experience so fun. it doesn't matter if you think you are photogenic or not the photos will turn out amazing. Erin will find the best lighting no matter what the weather is or where you are.”

The Great Smoky Mountain National Park is a beautiful landmark with many scenic areas that would make the perfect backdrop. As one of the few Knoxville photographers with a Smokies permit, I'd love to be your official Great Smoky Mountain National Park family photographer.
One of the hardest parts of a wedding day? Not the timeline. Not the weather.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s. The. Dress.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’ve never worn anything like this. It’s heavy. It’s poofy. It has a mind of its own.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
AND THEN...there’s the fear of getting it dirty. Girl. GURL.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s white. It touches the ground. You’re walking on literal Earth. The minute that dress goes on, it’s fighting for its life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And guess what? That’s okay!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A dress that lives a little? ICONIC.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wear the dang dress.
Don’t let it wear you 🫶🏻

To all the couples: if you want the party…
BE the party.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The one thing I’ve learned with nearly 500 weddings under my belt is this: the hype starts with YOU.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your people will go where you go.
So if you’re parked at the bar all night?
Expect a slow dance floor.
But if you’re out there on the dance floor, your guests will follow the lead.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Get ON the dance floor.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Swing that dress. Spill a little champagne. Make the memories.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You set the tone—so set it.

You know what’s NOT mutually exclusive?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A wedding that looks like it belongs in a magazine
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
AND
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
a day that feels like your best friend’s birthday party collided with a rave.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can have soft lighting, romantic vows, heirloom floral
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
AND
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
still be scream-singing “let’s go girls” with your veil over your face at 10pm.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can walk down the aisle like a goddess
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
AND
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
later be seen double fisting a champagne glass and White Claw.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can cry during the first look and have a chaos parade of a reception.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Beautiful wedding.
Banger of a day.
We’re doing both.

Ready for some unsolicited advice? Of course you are.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your outfit on a wedding day is going to a little messed up. Dirty, even. From the ground to the makeup to the drinks flowing from the bar. Those well-placed boutiques and boutonnieres will see some action. Your tie will become unbuttoned by the end of the night, and most likely you’ve kicked off your shoes to dance in your bare feet.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wear it.
Wear it out.
Don’t let it wear you.

Sandwiching in a wedding day between torrential rain and 30mph wind gusts is not for the faint of heart. Emily and Martin, and their family and friends made the best of it -with a joyful spirit.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wishing these two the absolute best as they navigate through life as husband and wife 🥰
