Remember, there are so many amazing locations in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Townsend, Sevierville, and Wears Valley that are perfect for a “smoky mountain elopement.” Find the place that speaks to you! This mid-century mod location was perfect for Alaina and Travis.

And then…hire me to photograph it! Duh. Easy peasy 🥰

Some of these photos span the course of eight years.

And through my years as a wedding photographer I have learned that trends change but sisterhood is forever.

Here’s to the women who stand by their friend through thick and thin…and get her married! And help keep her married through a lifetime.

May your friendships last long after the flowers are gone 🫶🏻

The first half of 2026 has been such a wonderful adventure. It’s hard to put into words just how different each session and wedding can be. One day I’m spending 10 hours in the mountains photographing a wedding, and the next I’m chasing a toddler around a park just a few minutes from my home.

There’s one thing that has always been true about this job: every session is different. Every wedding is different. Every couple, every family, every story, every edit brings something new.

I’m just incredibly grateful for all the different that fills my world. Thank you for trusting me with your memories, your milestones, and the moments that make each day unlike the one before.

You may notice I’m a little quieter on social media over the next month.

In a digital world, while raising a tween, I’ve realized my face needs to be looking at hers more than it needs to be looking at my screen. My phone is going to spend a lot more time on the charger while I spend more intentional time at the pool, embracing this hot weather and soaking up these different kinds of summer days with my family.

The work will still be here. The emails will still get answered. Weddings and sessions will get booked (I’m still HERE).

But these summers? They don’t last forever.
