Fishing isn’t just about catching fish; it’s about creating memories that last a lifetime. Recently, I had the pleasure of embarking on a delightful fishing photo session with my dear friend Betsy’s children, Carter and Sam. Nestled by the serene banks of a picturesque creek, this experience was nothing short of magical. From the moment […]

Love was definitely in the air during John and Audrey’s engagement photo session amidst the picturesque landscapes of Pittman Center, TN. Nestled in the heart of the Smoky Mountains, Pittman Center provided the perfect backdrop for their photo session, blending natural beauty with the warmth of their bond.

It was Mother’s Day morning. I arrived with my son at the Green’s home along a beautiful creek. Waylon’s baptism unfolded as a cherished family affair. I was so blessed to be asked by Waylon’s mother to capture this special moment in their lives. The role of a photographer in such intimate moments extends far beyond […]

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of being invited to document a truly special event—a dual celebration marking the milestones of Khloe and Brooklyn. 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, […]

I let her know that, full disclosure, I had never done prom photos, but […]

I thought I would take the opportunity to celebrate the April Showers portion of the old saying. I’d had the idea for an umbrella and galoshes session about six months ago, so I had to […]

I just love this time of year in the Smokies! That feeling you get of pure joy the first time it is warm enough to drive with your windows down. The sunshine on your face and the wind in your hair. We all hunker down through the winter months through cold temperatures and dark evenings. […]
