Welcome to the Studio

Studio session information

My studio is located in Maryville, TN, right in my home, offering a cozy and welcoming space for your session. The space is filled with beautiful natural light, perfect for capturing soft, timeless images. I also provide a client closet with carefully curated dresses and outfits for women, girls, and little ones, so you don’t have to worry about what to wear. Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about scheduling, preparing, and styling your indoor session, so you can feel relaxed, comfortable, and confident from start to finish.

How to style your indoor session

color palette

Soft neutral tones photograph beautifully in this space: creams, warm browns, taupe, sage, soft rust. Please avoid bright/neon colors or busy logos.

Family outfit tips

• Mix colors and textures instead of matching exactly.
• Linen, ribbed fabrics, light knits, and layers add depth.
• Bare feet look natural and cozy for the lifestyle sessions.

How to prepare for your session

For parents

• Make sure little ones are fed and comfortable
• Bring a drink or small snack (non-messy)
• Let your kids warm up naturally.

Toddlers and little ones often have their own ideas about where to sit and what to do, and that's completely normal. I guide, redirect, and encourage them in a relaxed way, letting their personalities shine through. Sometimes they play along side perfectly, and sometimes they wiggle or get out of position - and that's okay. Those little unscripted moments often become the most genuine and memorable images.

Posing is just a framework to capture real emotion and connection, and it allows me to create beautiful, timeless images even when things don't go exactly as planned. At the end of the session, you'll have a gallery filled with a mix of intentional, artfully posed photos and spontaneous, authentic moments that truly reflect your family.

what to bring

• A couple of neutral outfit options.
• Any special items you'd like to incorporate (a meaningful toy, letter board, blanket, etc)
• Diapers/wipes if needed.

before you arrive

• Arrive a few minutes early.
• Avoid tight hair or socks beforehand to prevent marks.
• Try to keep light-colored outfits away from bright colored car seat blankets that may transfer dye.

in the studio

In the studio, sessions feel calm and unhurried. I combine gentle, guided poses with natural, in the moment interactions so your family can interact comfortably. Even when we use gentle poses, real smiles, laughter, and little authentic moments naturally happen, sometimes in ways you don't expect!
