The sweetest little boy, fresh into the world and already so very loved. 🤍

I had the best time documenting this Fresh 48 session at Parkwest Medical Center with his mama, daddy, big sister, big brother, and grandparents. There’s just something so special about capturing those first quiet moments together—the tiny details, the sleepy snuggles, and the way everyone gathers around the newest member of the family.

These are the moments you’ll want to remember exactly as they were. 🥹

If you’re expecting a baby in Knoxville or East Tennessee, I’d love to document your Fresh 48 story, too. I offer Fresh 48 sessions at Parkwest and other area hospitals, and I still have a few upcoming due date spots available!

Some family sessions are calm, quiet, and perfectly posed.

This was not one of those sessions. 😂 And honestly? I wouldn’t have it any other way.

A one-year-old baby girl, mom and dad, a tiny dog, a cat, TWO birds, and all the beautiful chaos that comes with real family life. 🐶🐱🐦🐦💕

Lifestyle sessions at home are about more than getting everyone to look at the camera. They’re about capturing the way your family actually feels — the cuddles, the giggles, the pets running through the frame, the tiny moments in between, and all the wonderfully imperfect pieces that make your family yours.

And if your biggest concern is, “But our house/family/pets are CHAOS…”

Good. I can handle chaos. 😂

I’m a Knoxville lifestyle photographer who believes your family doesn’t need to be perfectly behaved for your photos to be beautiful. Booking through fall 2026 ✨ Link in bio!

Wildflowers in a basket, warm summer air, and water spraying through the sunshine. 🌸💦☀️

Just a mama-to-be soaking up one of those slow, sweet summer afternoons in the countryside. A little messy, a little magical, and full of the kind of moments that feel like childhood summers all over again, including shooting with a vintage lens.

Maybe maternity sessions don’t always have to be perfectly posed. Sometimes they’re better barefoot, sun-kissed, and a little wild. 🤍

✨ Hello, World. ✨

Those first 24–48 hours after your baby arrives are filled with moments you’ll never experience again—the tiny fingers wrapped around yours, the first swaddle, the hospital bassinet, and the little “Hello World” announcement that marks the beginning of your newest adventure.

As an experienced Fresh 48 photographer serving Knoxville, Oak Ridge, Clinton, Powell, and all of East Tennessee, I take care of everything so you can simply soak in these precious first moments with your baby. My goal is to create beautiful, authentic images while you focus on what matters most.

📅 Fresh 48 sessions are booked by your due date, not your delivery date. Because babies arrive on their own schedule, I only accept a limited number of due dates each month to ensure I’m available when your little one makes their debut.

If you’re expecting, don’t wait until you’re in labor to start looking for a photographer. Reserve your due date now so these once-in-a-lifetime memories aren’t missed. Send me a message to learn more and secure your spot! 🤍

🍂 ✨While you’re out taking advantage of tax-free shopping this weekend, don’t forget to grab a few outfits for your fall photos too!

The best fall sessions start with outfits you absolutely love, and now is the perfect time to save a little while getting everyone camera-ready. Think warm earth tones, cozy layers, textures, and coordinating colors that will look beautiful against East Tennessee’s fall leaves.

If you haven’t booked your fall session yet, now’s the time! My calendar fills quickly once the leaves begin to change, and I’d love to help you capture this season with your family.

✨ Message me today or book via my website to reserve your fall session before my schedule is full!
