Ever since we had our first kiddo, we have a tradition. Every Mother’s Day, Ben drives us all up to Cades Cove for a picnic and he takes some photos of me and my babes. The outcome? Some of my favorite photos to date. So this year, I’m extending these special moments to you. On […]

10 Things I’m Loving Right Now Mom life as a photographer is no easy trip. Last month I celebrated 3 years being a full time photographer here in Knoxville and I’m so thankful that I get to work from home and watch my kids grow up. Staying at home, my lifestyle consists of practical things to […]

I swear this wasn’t planned…. Our boys are one month apart and now our baby girls are one month apart as well. I didn’t know Amanda super well in high school but ever since we both got into the wedding business and started having kids, we started hanging out more. Both our boys love Lightning […]

One thing I have loved about these Maker branding sessions is getting to know the process and the heart behind the art. Rachel is nothing short of talented. When I walked in, not only was I greeted by one of the sweetest puppies, Jesus radiated on Rachel’s face. Rachel has only been hand lettering for […]

One of the best things about my job as a wedding photographer is having my brides and grooms come back to me when they find out they’re pregnant! It’s as if the story continues. Mandy is due about 3 weeks before me. As sad as I am about not being able to do her newborn […]

With another busy Fall season coming, I wanted to do some quick education for those who are interested in a family lifestyle session. Below, this is what I call a lifestyle session. It’s a laid back session where I basically just document activity. This is perfect for those families that love candids and have active […]

Natural light. A chunky baby. Eclectic and old house. And a family dog. This makes for a lifestyle session that I will always love. And I can’t not blog about Supermom Brandin. Talk about strong momma…she delivered ALL NATURAL to a 10 lb baby Deacon. And she looks FLAWLESS. I wanted more than anything to […]

God started stirring something deep in my heart. I started seeing my work change dramatically and fast. Business was going full speed and I couldn’t get […]
