Some sessions just stick with you—and the Oney Family’s was absolutely one of those. I loved every minute of this sweet morning together. Kate and Michael traveled all the way from Indiana with their two little ones, Avery and baby Joshua, to soak in some Smoky Mountain time. They are such a nature-loving family, and […]

One of my favorite parts of being a photographer here in the Smoky Mountains is meeting families who return to this place year after year. The Lindsey family traveled in from Alabama for their visit, and this trip held a lot of meaning for them—it was a wish from their grandma, great-grandma, Nana. Sabre shared […]

Some photo sessions come with unexpected twists, and this one is a perfect example of how going with the flow can lead to something beautiful. The Penry family had originally planned their session at another location, but we found out—on the very same day—that construction had started there. So, with a quick pivot and a […]

This summer I had the absolute joy of photographing the Volion family, who traveled all the way from Louisiana for a much-needed Smoky Mountain vacation. And let me tell you — they brought the southern charm, the fun, and the good vibes with them! Despite the summer heat (and let’s be real, it was hot), […]

There’s something extra special about photographing extended families — and the Long Family’s session was such a perfect reminder of that! This crew came to the Smoky Mountains for their first vacation all together, and I was honored to capture these memories for them. We met near one of my favorite spots, complete with a […]

As a photographer in the Smokies, I’ve learned that mountain weather keeps you on your toes—and this session with the Conti family was no exception! As we made our way to the location, we could see the rain clouds creeping over the peaks, which meant we had to work fast. But from the moment I […]

This summer I had the pleasure of photographing the Greer Family while they were visiting from Illinois. We decided to take a little drive up the Foothills Parkway for their session, and the Smokies did not disappoint. Even in the middle of the day, the mountain views were breathtaking and made the perfect backdrop for […]

I recently had the honor of photographing the Flietstra family during a very special trip to the Great Smoky Mountains. They were celebrating Craig and Kathy’s 50th wedding anniversary — such an incredible milestone! Craig actually reached out to me ahead of time to make sure we captured some special photos of the grandparents with […]

There’s just something extra special about extended families vacationing together—and the Regan family brought all the fun, love, and energy for their session in the Smokies! We met up on a very hot summer day, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at their smiles. This whole crew embraced the heat, the wind, and the […]

There are days that feel like they were pulled straight from a dream, and our session with the Millers at Oakes Farm was exactly that. Between the endless rows of vibrant tulips and the blue Smoky Mountain skies, every moment felt full of color, light, and joy — the perfect way to celebrate Grayson’s second […]
