“What we find in a soulmate is not something wild to tame but something wild to run with.”—Robert Brault

Exploring a rainforest together at the edge of the world, Aotearoa, "land of the long white cloud". The waterfall was our destination, but it was also all about the journey. 😍

When your friends are celebrating their wedding anniversary in Middle Earth and ask for waterfall photos, MAGIC happens. 😍

Soft light, a peaceful lake, and a family just enjoying each other at my favorite Tennessee park. 😍

I'm so happy I was able to fit this last session in with a friend's family before I left - one of the hard parts of moving is the distance between friends and clients now and not being able to capture the beautiful chapters for them. So, y'all will just need to plan a vacay to New Zealand for photos from now on! 😆

Who needs sunshine anyways? When a summer storm rolled through during her session Kathryn embraced it, even wading into the pond with no hesitation, and made it all look effortless. Love the reflections off the water, like her own mirror world. These moody portraits are everything I love about photographing seniors — real, unexpected and full of confidence!

Kathryn really rocked her Tennessee Volunteers colors with confidence and joy — and it couldn’t have been a more perfect reflection of her bright, fearless energy. Here’s to bold colors and big futures!

Autumn colors, giggling little ones, and gentle cows under the mountain skies. From bridal portraits and a magazine shoot, to a mountain engagement session and their wedding day followed by family photos after their firstborn, nothing makes me happier than capturing another beautiful chapter in a family's life journey, although this session was bittersweet knowing I would soon be moving🥲Doing the session at their farm felt so right - there's nothing like capturing family love right where their roots run deep 🤎

I'm so sad to hear of Ace Frehley's passing today. An epic rockstar and legend, and I'm so thankful to have been able to experience and capture a real artist doing what he loves and sharing his craft with the world. Keep on rocking, Ace. 🤘

Kathryn brought all the vibes to her senior session 🔥 From golden hour by the lake to headlights after dark, even getting in the water didn’t stop her! Senior year with style, mountains, and a bit of edge.

It’s official - I am moving to New Zealand! 🇳🇿

It’s with mixed feelings that I am announcing the closure of my business here in East TN, and will no longer be able to take on photo clients here. It’s been wonderful getting to know my clients here over the years and photographing each chapter of your lives. Thank you for allowing me to capture your life stories artistically - it has been such a pleasure and brings me so much joy! 🥹 ❤️

I will still be offering my custom graphic design services, and hey - if you’re ever in New Zealand or need a good excuse to go on a vacation, I’d absolutely LOVE to capture some epic photos of you there! 📸🤩

Thank you again. ❤️
