Portrait and Event Photographer
Serving East Tennessee and North Georgia
Unveiling Beauty at Every Altitude
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
From cozy in-home maternity sessions to adventurous mountain elopements, from the energy of a wedding or elopement day to the quiet transformation of motherhood—your story deserves to be told with depth and artistry.
My approach is simple: create a space where you feel comfortable, seen, and celebrated. That’s when the real moments unfold—the ones that tell the truth of who you are and the season you’re in.
Whether you’re stepping into a brand-new beginning, honoring a milestone, or soaking in the beauty of right now, I’ll craft images that hold meaning long after today has passed.
Every gallery reflects your story, your people, and your personality. Take a scroll through my portfolio to see some of the memories I’ve been honored to document and when you’re ready, let’s make some of your own. From Chattanooga to Gatlinburg, North Georgia, and beyond, I’d be honored to tell your story.
