i love
I was born and raised in the beautiful East Tennessee area and live with my husband and two sons in Sevierville Tennessee. I am a graduate of Gatlinburg-Pittman High School and East Tennessee State University with a degree in Mass Communications and Marketing. I graduated and worked in media, banking and dental, but since high school I have always loved and had a passion for photography, especially photos of family and this beautiful area.
Life went on as it does, and I realized I owed it to myself to pursue my dream and passion of being more than just a casual photographer. I am a mom, of course, so I needed to do it at my own pace, and while attempting to juggle work, family and hobbies, I realized there was a need in this area for someone to offer more convenient and efficient photo sessions. And so, Whitney Jo Photography was born!

We all live busy lives and it feels like there just isn't enough hours in the day. Do you ever feel your young family's precious moments are slipping by? I noticed how much my boys changed and grew every year. Especially when Google Photos would pop up notifications on my phone while I was at work at 9:00 in the morning. I realized we had not had REAL family photos done in years. We didn't have any photos that I felt could be displayed around my home in four years. I felt I had missed out on the memories from that very quick time in their lives.
I then began my pursuit to find a local family photographer to fix the situation. When I began my search, I had trouble with photographers returning my messages and following through. Also I realized most photographers' packages did not line up with what a needed.
This made me want to offer not only full sessions for a fully immersive experience but also frequent shorter seasonal sessions. My goal is to offer more opportunities for families to have photos taken at a more realistic price point. Everyone deserves to capture their family's memories.
I believe everyone should have access to catpured family memories
