Jennifer & Ryan -
I couldn't be more honored to have been trusted to capture your GORGEOUS wedding day.

One of the hardest things about shooting a wedding, is learning to pull yourself away from the computer to take a break from editing.

I've been smiling 100% of the time going through your photos and beyond grateful to have been apart of this memory.

Trent and I loved being able to spend such quality time with you all this weekend and truly get to know you, Jen (Jason & Blake too!)... and now we know why Ryan broke his promise of never wanting to get married. Jen you truly are stunning inside and out. You both compliment each other in an honorable way.

Thank you again for inviting us to have many roles in your big day... I look forward to seeing how your future unfolds 🥰

Ps... I'm sure I'll be sharing more from this wedding!

This couple was one of the most laid back couples I think I've ever seen. They floated through the day with literally no stress and was the cen most beautiful fall day!

Thankful I got to second shoot last week and was SO good!

Shooting with different landscape has been so much fun, plus meeting an awesome photographer ❤️ look forward to second shooting more with you Sullivan Photography

I grew up with dogs, but wouldn't have said I was a dog person, until I got our boy, Eugene. We did a welcome home photo session along with progress photos and hes included in our yearly photoshoots, and always will be.

This couple did a Welcome Home, Buck photoshoot. Puppies like Babies grow and change so much, and remembering how small they were with those shark teeth, balls of energy and the ability to hold them in your arms is a time to remember and be photographed ❤️.

Bridal party photos are typically chaotic. Its usually after the ceremony and everyone is ready to eat, drink and dance.

Thinking on your toes and being creative in a short amount of time is always rewarding ❤️.

Photography opened up a world that I never knew existed. It allowed me to be my extroverted self, quick on my toes, structured but go with the flow, and has opened many doors to people I would have never known! I've met so many photographers and clients that have become close friends...

This one... This is Amy. We met awkwardly at a networking event, then had playdates with our dogs, shot weddings together, then she moved back to SC. Our dogs were besties and we cried that they were loosing their best friend 🐾. We continued many long distance phone conversations, and then we moved to TN... Only 4 hours apart. So we met in Ashville, did a strenuous hike (unintentionally) and took photos. I'm so thankful photography lead to meeting this girl!

Hello 👋🏻!

It's been a while! As 2020 had many changes for everyone, my husband and I officially moved from northern IL to Knoxville TN!

Photography went on the back burner during all the craziness, but now that we're "settled" (I use " ") because we are still in quite the transition but glad that all of our things are in one place ☺️!

I'm looking forward to getting behind the camera more, have made some great connections and looking forward to connecting and getting behind the camera in 2021!

Not necessarily photography, but having a camera in my hand has been happening since the early years of my life... now I just know how to take better ones 😂. First is was an old hand me down camera, when I was in elementary school, then digital camera, and now a full frame camera with many different lenses.

I quite honestly forget a lot things I have seen over the years or things I've experienced in life, and I feel like a photo truly helps to trigger all the memories I have. I've moved, vacationed and met many people that I feel as though I'm running out of space... but photos... always help me reflect on that time and place in my life.

I LOVE that I can now help others freeze a moment in time, help enhance their experience of a time in their life and to have photos to help them remember :). Capturing life is an amazing reward.
