Let me start with the first time I met Sierra. She came to me as a single mother of two boys for a family session. The next session we had was a family session last year after she literally met the love of her life, Alex who came with a boy and girl of his own. Our next time shooting was at their elopement at Greenway Farms when they combined their big blended family - it was literal magic. Two people in love with four small children. This time, when Sierra reached out to me, she had a big secret. Scroll on to see what it was. And the kids reaction to the news!
Read MoreAnother year, another Blessed Session. I absolutely love doing these. They are confidence boosters for the girls, I get to work with my best friend Lyndi and they are absolutely just a blast. I admire what Lyndi has built and I believe in her vision. Every time she asks me to do one I immediately whip out my calendar and get it scheduled.
Read MoreShooting for another photographer can always be a little nerve wracking, but Lexie is so sweet it was honestly a breeze. I am always so in my element with events. I shoot a lot of them, birthday parties, anniversaries, baby showers, they are a specialty of mine. This was no different, her family and friends were all so warm and welcoming. I’m not going to share all 169 images, but I think this gallery will give you a great idea of how the day went.
Read MoreWe shot this session on May 29th, which in any other reality would be relatively warm, but we had a major cold front come through. It was windy and chilly. In between each shot we had to cover the kids back up. Despite the goosebumps, I think we got some really great images and it was a really fun session. I’ve known Sylvia for SO long, and seeing her with her children was so special.
Read MoreStacy & Nick came to see me all the way from Mississippi. They both had quiet, gentle souls and were so kind. Sometimes with couples you can just feel their love. These two had a full aura of love surrounding them.
Read MoreIvey came to see me with both her sweet girls. When they arrived in matching dresses I almost fell apart. She’s such a great mom, and you can just feel their love through this set of images.
Read MoreI have known John and his mama for a very long time. I always love being able to photograph them in any context. But in particular, when John is all dressed up for dances. This year I was able to capture him and his sweet girlfriend Kaylei too!
Read MoreJoseph came in to Chattanooga from Nashville for a short getaway from work. We meandered around Downtown and found some great spots. I think he was a complete natural in front of the camera!
Read MoreDebbi and I have been friends since high school. Not to give away our ages, but that’s a VERY long time. And she has always supported my business. We make sure to get new sessions as soon as possible, because her kids are just growing so fast. We shot these early in the morning at Little Cedar Mountain Trail. I think adventuring really helps to loosen kids up and we can really capture those perfect candid moments.
Read MoreHands down one of my favorite families. They are just the sweetest. Jessica, Evan, Lola and Lucy will be welcoming a new baby very soon and we needed to document this time - and her PERFECT bump! We shot these on the North Shore at Renaissance Park.
Read MoreI had the pleasure of working with the Potoski Family last weekend, and let me tell you, this was one of the easiest sessions I have ever done. The kids were so well behaved and just complete sweethearts. We had an absolutely perfect sunset with tons of golden light.
Read MoreProm season is here!! My first set of prom kids was Trey and Nicole. The funny thing is, Trey and his family are my oldest clients. The very first “client” I ever had was Trey’s younger brother, I shot his newborn pictures. I have taken the kids pictures, their mom and dad, their grandparents, their aunt and her daughter so many times over the years. It’s so hard for me to believe that Trey is 18 now. Such a sweet boy and he’s grown up so incredibly fast. They headed from here to South Pittsburg High School’s 2021 Prom.
Read MoreLet’s start with how much I love the Bucher Family. I have been taking pictures of them from the very beginning. Now they have three of the most adorable kids you’ve ever seen. Kids go completely crazy over bubbles, they are literally the MOST FUN sessions.
Read MoreErica warned me beforehand that Adam hates having his picture made. BUT I think he even had a little fun! We shot at the Jasper Highlands. They are both so excited to be parents and I cannot even believe how beautiful Erica is. Just absolutely glowing.
Read MoreI met with Melisa and Chris at the Jasper Highlands. Let me tell you this entire session was so easy. There’s a comfort between the two of them that is so transparent. It’s so completely obvious that these two will stand the test of time. I was super excited that they brought their sweet pups too!
Read MoreJohn is literally one of my absolute sweetest clients. He always bring a smile to everyone’s face and to know him is to love him. I was so excited to shoot in Mrs. Kelly’s daffodil field again. She planted each of these by hand and it’s always the first sign of Spring for me!
Read MoreKirby, Tristan, Ryan, Blaine, Sam and Treyton
I was so fortunate to shoot Kirby and Tristan’s wedding session on and around the Walnut Street Bridge so it only made sense to take the whole family there for their session! The perfect day, the most coordinated outfits, a beautiful couple and four of the sweetest boys made this entire session so easy. We got all of these and more in less than 20 minutes!
Sessions never need to be stressful, you just have to find a photographer who works FOR you and your family.
Read MoreIt’s always amazing to photograph a friend, even more so when that friend is in one of the biggest seasons of her life. Peggy will be welcoming her fourth child, Reece SO SOON. Peggy was actually placed on bed rest prior to this, so this was actually one of the quickest maternity sessions I have ever shot. We took these in Downtown Chattanooga in the West Village. Peggy showed up completely glowing and ready to go!
Read MoreSophia is my little cousin, but we don’t get to see each other very often. When she does come in for visits we always get to do a little session. She’s one of my most favorite tiny best friends and she always brings a sparkle for all of her sessions. It’s not just a sparkle, it’s a spark. A spark of imagination and of wonder, seeing the world through her eyes is such a wondrous experience.
Read MoreAs most of you already know, October is an insanely busy time for photographers. You will most likely find me chained to my laptop on never-ending editing sprees with Netflix binging in the background. But, as most of you also know, I am on a health journey, so some of these will be from that. Read on to find out what I am obsessed with this week, what I can’t put down and what I can’t stop thinking about!!
