Heaven On Earth | Glacier National Park | Destination Photographer

Heaven On Earth | Glacier National Park | Destination Photographer Heaven, I’ve heard about it all my life. This beautiful-looking place that as a Christ-follower I will go one day. I’ve tried to wrap my mind around what it will look like, but I’ve had a hard time doing so. In Heaven, I’d like to think that each day the weather will be like the best fall day I’ve ever experienced. I’d like to think the animals will peacefully graze together and a bundle of puppies will be at every turn. I could imagine wildflowers being as far as the eye could see and the sweetest aroma sweeping across my face with each breath.  A place where mountains, valleys, and

Downtown 211 | Downtown Knoxville Wedding Venue | Michael and Jasmine

Downtown 211 || Downtown Knoxville Wedding Venue Downtown 211 private rooftop is a little secret gem in Knoxville. This wedding venue is in downtown Knoxville, TN in an area of the city called Market Square. Market Square is a cute part of the city that hosts locally own shops and restaurants. Downtown 211 is the only private Rooftop wedding venue space in Knoxville and it has amazing views. Michael and Jasmine I met Michael and Jasmine the day they got engaged, I shot their proposal. A friend at my church, Faith Promise referred them to me. Michael had called me wanting to set up a surprise proposal shoot and we started working on the details he had planned. Clearly, Jasmine said

The White Barn At Cruze Farm | Cruze Farm Girl | Hope

Hope Is Turning Four Cruze Farm Girl, Hope, she’s the cutest little thing ever and just so happens she’s my niece. Hope’s favorite food on the planet is ice cream. A few months ago I finally introduced her to Cruze Dairy Farm ice cream and of course, it was a hit. Now every time she is in town, she asked to go get Cruze Farm ice cream. Each time we go, she gets to pick her own ice cream and toppings (which always includes sprinkles). She also loves watching the Cruze Farm girls work. She thinks they are pretty and have cute dresses. My niece gets in front of the camera more than your average child. One, I’m a professional

Ijams Maternity Session || Rachel and Zac Stephens || Knoxville, TN

Ijams Maternity Session My dear friends are having baby #3. I can’t wait to meet him! Last night Rachel and Zac Stephens met me for their maternity session. I’d been searching for the perfect place for her maternity session in Knoxville, TN and landed on Ijams Nature Center. It turned out to be the perfect location! The weather was amazing and of course, Ijams was an adventure for the kids to explore. Rachel rocked her dress, Zac was cheering her on, Jael was the princess she always is and well River (lol) you can see what he was doing below! This family means the world to me and it’s such an honor to get to capture these moments and celebrate

The White Barn at Cruze Farm || Ivy and Marcus Ortiz

The White Barn at Cruze Farm The White Barn at Cruze Farm is absolutely stunning and the views are even more stunning! Last weekend was the first time I had shot a wedding at The White Barn at Cruze Farm and let me say it didn’t disappoint! The views from the barn of Cruze Farm and the East TN mountains were breathtaking. The property was manicured so nicely and if you looked closely you could see dairy cows in the far distance. If you are lucky you’ll get a perfect sunset too! Also, a bonus tip get to know Cheryl! She’s the owner and will help you plan your wedding (and she’s super fun).

Whitestone Inn Spring Wedding || Seth and Olivia || Kingston, TN

Whitestone Country Inn Wedding Whitestone Inn wedding, those words couldn’t be more beautiful as it was the first full wedding I’ve got to shoot during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was so good to be back in a wedding setting where things just felt normal! After several emails and calls to Olivia, I was so thankful when she said that things were still a go. The best thing I heard her say is “We are going to get married, even if it’s just us and our immediate family!” Her statement let me know, that they were focused on what was important, their marriage! We’ve had a few bride and grooms move their dates for several reasons, venues closed, the family can’t
