and grew.

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

through shootouts and meetups. through friendship and support.

and I’m so excited about where its going. and I’m honored.

honored to be part of it.

here is part of the email I sent after the day was done:

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!
If you are a Knoxville photographer, go join our facebook group, we’d love for you to join our next one!

If you are a model or want to be one and just want the practice and some portfolio pictures, I’d love to chat with you, call me at 414.4674 or email me at shann@shannonkelleyphotography.com
