Setting Spotlight: let me show you some of wonderful places I ahve used for sessions. In this inaugural post for this series, let me introduce you to Tsali Notch Vineyard, a beautiful place for all types of sessions. Enjoy the photos of Kristina and Luke who enjoyed a combination engagement/family session there!

Street photography provides good practice for working with distance and honing my reaction time. I went recently to Nashville, Tennessee with a friend to shoot the street. Enjoy some images from my walkabout.

Renae is the Roman candle to Nick’s chill but that is what makes them an exciting and vibrant couple. Their wedding at the Views at Sunset Ridge in Cleveland, Tennessee featured a ceremony with a spectacular view, followed by a high energy wedding reception. See more here!

The news recently was that an Amazon distribution center was slated to be built at the site of the old Knoxville Center mall. That prompted my memory that back in 2015 I was hired to take pictures of it for CBRE for the purposes of “discussion” as to what would be done to the mall. Here are some pictures of what was.

Rachel has two special men in her life - so it was only natural for her to want both at the engagement session! Check out Rachel and Daniel’s engagement pictures, taken on Daniel’s cattle farm. Farm living is the life for them!

No matter where I go, I want to take a picture. So while sweating through the 127 Yard Sale - billed as the world’s longest yard sale from Michigan to Alabama - I did more people watching than I did shopping. And probably had more fun. This is street photography, my favorite past time.

Stephanie and Mark's winter wedding in Johnson City, Tennessee increased the joy of the Christmas season.  Cold weather, but warm hearts!

I like to say there is magic in the mountains, which was certainly on display during Katie and Nick's wedding at the Appalachian Clubhouse in the Elkmont area of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park - check it out!

Is the rodeo a dying show?  I hope not.  It is a long standing tradition down by country folk.  Enjoy this #FlashbackFriday back to July 2015, when I went to go check out the Red Gate rodeo in Maynardville, Tennessee.

Where were you on August 21, 2017?  I was looking up, along with a couple of thousand people, at Tsali Notch winery in Madisonville, TN, during the Great Solar Eclipse of 2017!  Come see my photos and find out how to propose with style - as James did when he asked Brittney for her hand in marriage during an eclipse!  

If youth is wasted on the young, Celia and Gary are taking it back with their attitude!  Come and see their engagement pictures, photographed at the historic Swann Plantation in Sevierville, TN.

Meet Jody Butler, LCSW of Cove Mountain Counseling.  As part of my ongoing series of highlighting my headshot clients, I want you to learn about this healer in Maryville who offers counseling to those with addictions and PTSD, as well as a unique way of overcoming those obstacles we place in our way!

We hiked and we climbed, but it was worth it to capture these images from Frances and Ian's engagement session at the Narrows of the Harpeth outside of Nashville.  Put on your boots and let's go!

Carolina is a young lady with the aspiration to become a model.  Presently receiving instruction from Gage Models and Talent in Knoxville, Tennessee, she began creating her modeling portfolio with me on location in downtown Maryville, Tennessee.
