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 feel at ease, 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 and can take place at Foothills Parkway for beautiful Smoky Mountain views or at another outdoor location around Maryville. Whether you're drawn to mountain views, open fields, or golden sunset light, we'll choose a location that fits the vision for your session.
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
So you've booked your session... now what?
Don't worry, I've got you! Once you're booked, I'll send over my styling guide to help you put together outfits that photograph beautifully, whether we're in my in home studio or out in the Smoky Mountains. As your session gets closer, you'll also receive a "What to Expect" guide with everything you need to know, from how the session flows to simple tips that help everyone feel comfortable and ready. My goal is to make the entire experience easy from start to finish, so you can simply enjoy time with your family while I take care of the details.
Styling makes such a big difference in how your photos come together. I'll help you choose outfits that photograph naturally and complement both the studio and outdoor mountain scenery. I also offer a client closet for moms and little ones, filled with neutral, timeless pieces that photograph beautifully. I'm always adding new dresses and children's outfits, so there's always something fresh to choose from.
If you're booking a studio session, you're also welcome to schedule a client closet try on before your session. It's a great chance to see everything in person, try on a few options, and feel confident about your outfit ahead of time. I'll help you coordinate everything so your family's outfits come together beautifully and photograph the way you envision.
