Your Story Begins Before "I Do"
Whether you're celebrating a proposal, planning your wedding, or simply documenting this season of life together, let's create photographs that feel genuine, joyful, and uniquely yours.
More Than Save-the-Date Photos
An engagement session is about slowing down for a moment before life gets busy.
It's a chance for the two of you to simply enjoy being together while creating photographs that reflect who you are today.
Whether you're laughing through downtown Maryville, hiking in the Smokies, or watching the sunset at your favorite place, we'll create images that feel effortless and authentic.
And perhaps the biggest benefit...
You'll arrive at your wedding day already comfortable in front of my camera because we'll already know each other.

Frequently Asked Questions
 
Do you travel?
Yes! I'm based in Maryville and photograph couples throughout East Tennessee, including Knoxville, the Smoky Mountains, and surrounding areas. Travel beyond this area is always welcome.
What should we wear?
Choose outfits that coordinate rather than match exactly. Neutral colors, earthy tones, and timeless styles photograph beautifully. Once you're booked, I'll send a detailed style guide with tips and inspiration.
We feel awkward in front of the camera.
Almost everyone tells me this! My job isn't to make you pose perfectly—it's to help you relax, interact naturally, and enjoy spending time together. Most couples are surprised by how much fun they have.
Can we bring our dog?
Absolutely! Pets are part of the family, and I'm always happy to include them as long as the location allows it.
Where should we take our photos?
I'll help you choose a location based on your personalities and the look you love. Whether it's the Smoky Mountains, downtown Maryville, a lakeside park, or somewhere meaningful to your relationship, we'll find the perfect setting.
What happens if it rains?
We'll keep an eye on the forecast together. If the weather isn't cooperating, we'll reschedule for another date at no additional charge.
How long until we receive our gallery?
Most engagement galleries are delivered within 2–3 weeks, and you'll receive an online gallery that's easy to download, share, and order prints from.
