Imagine this: you’re in the serene beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains, surrounded by mist and the quiet whispers of nature. It’s a scene straight out of a postcard, and for Tony and Rachel from Minnesota, it became the backdrop for a momentous occasion – their engagement. Tony had reached out to me, looking for […]

In the serene embrace of the Great Smoky Mountains, where nature’s beauty whispers through every tree and stream, I had the pleasure of documenting a truly heartwarming family gathering. It all began with a heartfelt Christmas wish from Grandfather Lucky—an adventure with his loved ones. Little did he know, his daughter Wendi would orchestrate a […]

As the Little League season comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey we’ve had with our kids on the field. This year was my son’s first time playing organized baseball in several years, and despite the scoreboards not always being in our favor, the memories we’ve made are priceless. One […]

Fishing isn’t just about catching fish; it’s about creating memories that last a lifetime.

Khloe, adorable and curious, was celebrating her first birthday, while Brooklyn was graduating from high school. The blend of these two life events made for a day filled with joy, laughter, […]

Should I only shoot proms from now on? This session turned out absolutely STUNNING. It definitely helped that I had such gorgeous (and handsome) subjects.  Hannah’s mom reached out a few weeks before prom to ask if I do prom photos. I let her know that, full disclosure, I had never done prom photos, but […]

Meet the Smith Family! I got the pleasure of taking family photos of this adorable family. I have known Leigha since we were kids, but I haven’t seen her in many years. She saw a shoot I did for her sister-in-law. I just love watching my clientele grow. During this shoot they also graciously allowed […]
