I photograph nearly a hundred family sessions every year. 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 as a family heirloom? Whether you are celebrating a birthday or 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.

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.
10.10.26 was met with Hurricane Isaias, but nothing could top the extraordinary event of Katelyn and Dallis.

Mountain vibes all day long with Payton and Gunnar.
This was my very first time visiting the overlook by The Trillium, but so happy to have a couple who decides on a whim that we should check it out.
Congratulations to this amazing couple. May all their days be as bright as their wedding day ✨✨

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: every single wedding I photograph is different. Every. Single. One. And that’s exactly the way it’s supposed to be.
Kailey and Jim built their wedding around one very simple idea: togetherness through a really good party. Their cocktail-inspired reception was designed for mingling, moving around, and spending time with the people they invited.
The dance floor was right by the bar and lounge area. A handful of seated tables sat under the Grand Hall at The Trillium, but the whole setup encouraged people to move, talk, dance, grab a drink, sit for a minute, and then get right back into it. Nobody was tucked away in separate spaces. Everyone was part of the same party.
And it WORKED.
What. A. Day.

It’s officially goldenrod season in East Tennessee. Kayla, John, and I travelled all around Cades Cove on a quiet fall evening. Couldn’t ask for better weather or better company 💛
