SMOKY MOUNTAIN SUNSET SESSIONS
Golden Hour Family, couples, and maternity sessions
For families visiting the Smoky Mountains, a Gatlinburg vacation photoshoot on Foothills Parkway is a beautiful way to document this season together. Think mountain air, laughter, and images that bring you right back to this trip years from now.
Embrace the snuggles and fun while I handle the rest. My focus is on making sure you have a great time, and enjoy the entire process from start to finish. If this is what you're looking for, please don't hesitate to reach out for more details.
Lifestyle Sessions
Whether you're visiting the Smoky Mountains for a family vacation or you call East Tennessee home, a lifestyle session is a beautiful way to capture this season of life. I'll guide you every step of the way with plenty of direction and natural posing, so you never have to worry about what to do. While I'll create beautiful, flattering portraits, I also make space for the genuine moments in between... the laughter, hugs, and little interactions that make your family unique. The result is a gallery that feels natural, timeless, and full of real connection, with the beauty of the Smoky Mountains as your backdrop.
Telling your story...
My photography style is bold, colorful, and dreamy with rich tones and a timeless feel. For studio sessions, I use a softer setting to create a clean, natural set up. Prior to your session, I will provide you with a questionnaire to customize the experiences according to my style. I will direct you and your family, using poses and prompts that align with your individual preferences, capturing the moments that matter most to you.
STUDIO SESSIONS
Studio Family, Maternity, and milestone sessions
Studio sessions are cozy, relaxed, and focused deeply on connection. Located in my home in Maryville, TN, the studio’s soft natural light, warm neutral tones, and comfortable lifestyle setup create a calm space where families can settle in and be themselves. The timeless environment works beautifully year-round and lets your story unfold naturally. These sessions celebrate the little moments, the quiet snuggles, the soft laughs, and the fleeting expressions you’ll treasure forever.
MATERNITY
For the Mama to be
Maternity sessions are relaxed, natural, and focused completely on you. My studio offers a bright, timeless space with access to a carefully curated client closet, making the whole experience simple from start to finish. If you're wondering when to book, what to wear, or whether a maternity session is the right fit for you, I've put together a guide that walks you through everything.
Maternity Sessions: Studio or Smoky Mountains?
Outdoor
Outdoor maternity sessions are available from March through mid-November. Sessions take place at Foothills Parkway for beautiful Smoky Mountain views, whether you’re local or visiting the area. For local families, I also offer the option of choosing a location in Maryville, Tennessee.
Indoor
If you're looking for a timeless, light filled session, my in home studio in Maryville, Tennessee is a wonderful option. Studio sessions are comfortable year round, aren't dependent on the weather, and create a clean, classic look that keeps the focus on you and your growing family.
CLIENT CLOSET & STYLING
You’re coming to the Smokies... let me make this part easy!
If you're traveling here for your session, the last thing I want is for you to have to pack an entire suitcase full of outfits just for family photos. That's one of the reasons I offer a client closet! I have dresses and children's outfits available for moms, little girls, and little ones, with a smaller selection of boys' pieces as well. That way, you can leave some of those outfits at home and have one less thing to worry about while you're traveling.
Once you're booked, I'll send over my styling guide to help you put together outfits for the whole family, whether you're using something from my client closet or bringing your own outfits along. I'll help you choose colors, textures, and pieces that work well together and photograph beautifully, without everyone having to perfectly match.
My client closet is filled with neutral, timeless pieces in the warm, earthy colors I love, and I'm always adding new dresses and children's outfits. If you find something you love, you're welcome to use it for your session and simply coordinate the rest of your family's outfits around it.
If you're local or will be in town early enough, studio clients are also welcome to schedule a client closet try on before their session. It's a great way to see the pieces in person, try on a few options, and make sure you love everything before picture day.
As your session gets closer, you'll also receive my "What to Expect" guide with everything you need to know, from how the session flows to simple tips for helping everyone feel comfortable and ready.
My goal is to make your session as easy and stress-free as possible, especially if you're traveling here for your photos. Whether you're using my client closet or bringing outfits from home, I'll help take care of the details so you can spend less time worrying about what to wear and more time enjoying your time in the Smokies with your family.
