Gigi and Brandan got married last year just outside of Knoxville, in Gatlinburg. I was lucky enough to get to photograph their wedding and even luckier to keep in touch with them and take pictures of their new family this year! This year we met in Oak Ridge at the beautiful Oak Ridge Arboretum. It was a perfect beautiful day for us. They are such a great couple and family and I’m honored that they made the drive into Oak Ridge to capture this next chapter of their life, their family!

Not to mention their little one is the cutest thing ever and loves the camera! Yay for babies loving the camera!

If you are in the Oak Ridge area ever and in the mood for some hiking, this place is awesome! Love these next couple pictures!

oh, and we had another family member there, Waylon the dog, who may just have to be featured in another blog post but I was getting a little crazy on this sneak peek so I had to stop! Don’t worry though Brandan, we got some good ones of the pups:)

Enjoy!

This family is new to Knoxville and celebrating a little one’s birthday! What better way to celebrate than some photography! It was the big first birthday so we did some family photos as well as a little cupcake action. Not just any cupcakes either, I splurged and bought Magpie’s here in Knoxville. Yummy! I’m pretty sure her and I are fast friends now for that cupcake:)

We met in Knoxville on a perfect crisp morning…loving the light in these! Enjoy the sneak peek photos and welcome to Knoxville!

The holiday season is fast approachinghere and mini sessions have been all the rage here in Knoxville for families getting their portraits done for their Christmas cards. Even though mini sessions are limited a little in time I always try to sneak a little artsy fun pictures in there above just the family portrait. Makes the mini session even that better of a deal, family portraits plus some photos of you and your family that are so much more than a portrait, they are you being you! Capturing the smiles and fun of a family being themselves, love it!

So, we made our way to the UT Gardens here in Knoxville for this family portrait mini session. Here are a couple of my fave “non-portraits”
