So we had a great time in the Old City in Knoxville because Kanya likes cool buildings and alleys just as much as me:) And they rocked it with their couple photos, don’t you think:)

on a side note, yesterday I got the news that I was featured on All the Photographers, a blog that features photographers from around the world. I answered some of their fun questions and then they went through and picked out some of their fave pictures from recent sessions:) A big thanks to Jon at All the Photographers for being awesome!

and grew.

knoxville photographers getting together to support, learn, have community.

I’m finally sitting in my jammies watching Kimora:Life in the fab lane (don’t hate:) ) and thinking about today the only word that comes to mind is honor.  I am honored to be part of an industry where we can do fun shootouts and support each other in this journey, I am honored to have met all of you today and see some of the raw amazing talen we have here in Knoxville, and I’m honored to be part of it all, even in the tiniest way.  Thank you for being awesome, thank you for making today wonderful, thank you for being all in and so supportive of everyone today.

Sunday I met 17 or so of my Knoxville photographer colleagues.

We had models, rain, and an old bank building thanks to the awesome Tony Cappiello.

And we had a great time at the first Knoxville Photog Meetup.

here are some of my pictures.  A HUGE thanks to the amazing models!

See, told you the models were rocking it! Thanks again to all who came out, it was amazing to meet such great local Knoxville photographers!

It just kind of found me.

The greatest compliment I ever received was a client, who was beautiful both inside and out, looking at her album and exclaiming “I can’t believe this is me!”

That sums up why I do boudoir photography.

It makes amazing women realize they are beautiful, both inside and out.

Maternity photos could grow on me… we had a super fun time complete with the picture perfect baby room, a fun belly, and even a couple pups thrown in the mix! And I think we got some awesome photos too:)

yummy sun! It was an absolutely beautiful day here in Knoxville

We had our session at the Knoxville Arboretum. This is a gorgeous place for photographers in Knoxville!

This family were winners of a giveaway at Cutie Tooties here in Knoxville, TN! So the other day I made my way out to west Knoxville to photograph a beautiful family. I went to their house, where we got to have a fun session with things that mean something to them. My fave from the photography session is one that just brings you back to a place in time. I love pictures that do that, that remind you of your children’s favorite toy, reminds you of how they used to smell, reminds you of that time and place. Love those kind of pictures.

During our session we had children’s story time with her favorite book.

Want some fun pictures of your family just being themselves? I’ll tag along with you and get some great memories:) contact me here.

We decided to meet at the gardens in Knoxville and even had a little snow still staying around for us. Like I said, I absolutely love seniors… they are up for anything, love funky and fun things, and humor me when I say stupid things like “pretend you are such and such”

Here is a sneak peak for A’lana’s awesome senior portraits! Although I will say that I’m putting together a little ode to the nerd glasses but they need their own post so we’ll wait on that:) A’lana, thanks for being awesome! Enjoy the pictures!
