At the start of the year I would never have thought in May that this is where I would be.
or we would be. becky and i.
It started with a simple idea of getting a senior I know, Morgan, to model for me on some ideas that I had.
and it grew.
So luckily Morgan was up for it being bigger than just me and her and we ended up with 3 awesome models and 17 photographers.
Photographers that I am proud to know and have community with.
******
and now today.
Today we had a meetup with some of our local photographers to network, have fun, and announce some awesomeness.
What is the awesomeness?
The amazing nationwide company, Smugmug, has seen what we are doing and is getting behind us and I am so honored to be the appointed leader along with my co-leader Becky.
You guessed it! SMUG’s are coming to KNOXVILLE!!!
photographer’s rejoice!
Smug’s are groups of photographers getting together to learn, grow, connect, and have fun!
What does this mean? Well, we keep on keeping on with meetup’s and supporting our community but now we have the support and resources of an amazing nationwide company so we can grow and continue to reach out to our local photographers!

I am so HONORED. and super excited for our Knoxville photographer community!
