Rebecca and Paul’s wedding in June was your typical East Tennessee day – sunny, hot, and of course muggy!  But for Rebecca and Paul the day was exactly what they had waited for.  Literally, this pair has been together for over 8 years, engaged for almost 5 years, and have the most beautiful family!  For […]

I first met Harper Jo and Jonny when I captured their engagement portraits in April at a family friend’s farm.  Their engagement session was absolutely perfect!  The farm was utterly gorgeous; trees in full spring flowering bloom with a gorgeous stately weeping willow (my favorite tree!).  Needless-to-say, there were PLENTY of stunning backdrops that perfectly […]

Carey and Dustin’s wedding on May 23, 2021 was your picture perfect East Tennessee day – sunny, hot, and muggy!  But for Carey and Dustin the day was exactly what they imagined and waited for.  Literally, their wedding had to be postponed by a month because three days prior to their original wedding date; Dustin […]

Another gorgeous fall wedding has come and gone! I recently had the privilege of shooting Jade and Sam’s special day on a picturesque hill with the most stunning venue in the background. Ya’ll the Maypop Fields venue in Tazewell has the sweetest, most chic little barn that perfectly complemented The Melecosky’s blue and blush bridal […]

This sweet couple, Anissa & Nathan, decided to get married in a pavilion on the water. It was a beautiful day for a wedding. They […]

Scottie & Jessica had such a beautiful & intimate wedding the the heart of Gatlinburg, TN yesterday. This cute little chapel, nestled in the woods of Gatlinburg, held all of their friends & family as they said their “I Do’s”, and let me tell you, it was such a beautiful day!   Carol, Jessica’s mom, […]

Most photographers don’t show their clients the back of their camera during a session. I go back and forth with this. Sometimes, if a client is absolutely killing their session, I show them the back of my camera to encourage them! I’ve never had a problem with this, but I am trying to stop. Other […]

Oh. My!  This beautiful October wedding is FINALLY on the blog! These past few months have been hectic, but things are finally slowing down for me! As much as I love being busy & serving all of my clients, it’s nice to finally edit all of the images I have taken of my  own daughter […]
