story
I’m not just here to take photos—I’m here to capture the heartbeat of your story. The laughs so real they bring tears to your eyes, the quiet glances no one else notices, the silly, unplanned moments in between. Whether it’s just you or the whole family, I’ll make sure you feel completely at ease—so your photos aren’t just stunning, they feel undeniably you.
Portraits, Elopements, Births, and Everything In Between
Whether we’re documenting your growing family, welcoming a newborn, celebrating a wedding day, or elevating your brand, your story deserves to be photographed with intention and artistry. I create a relaxed, comfortable environment so the honest, meaningful moments can unfold naturally.
I serve families and businesses across Chattanooga, East Tennessee, the Cumberland Plateau (including Cookeville, Crossville, and Pikeville), North Georgia, Western North Carolina, and North Alabama, capturing the milestones and seasons that matter most.
When you’re ready, I’d be honored to tell your story.
“The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.”
— Andy Warhol
TESTIMONIALS
Emily Mester, TN
Claire was so great! She was on time, communicated well, was reliable and went above and beyond. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her. The maternity photos came out great. Highly recommend.

Man, oh man, what a great photographer! I am Director of Development for a small, local nonprofit and Claire donated her time and talent to our annual fundraising event where she completely surpassed all expectation with her work! The photos are well done, the lighting is perfect, and she has a keen eye for capturing some super special moments! She does great work AND wants to give back to the community. 10 out of 10 would work with again!!
