Knoxville Family, Senior and Wedding Photographer

Mar 05 2014

Alex Ellis | Studio Bridal

Alex is officially the first bride I’ve photographed in the studio and based on my Pinterest boards of white on white on white, I’m seeing a pattern in what I’m drawn to these days. Too bad I have two kids under five so that all white living room is another decade away, but at least I have a white studio!

I love the idea of in-studio bridal portraits for brides who are getting married outside or brides who never had portraits done. It’s a great opportunity to put that dress back on a no-stress day for portraits that focus on the bride’s beauty and nothing else. If it’s before the wedding, bridal portraits are the perfect day for a trial run of hair and makeup.

Family Photo Day

The Bleak house is a Tuscan villa style historic home and has FIVE terraced levels of gardens! Add to that a pond, a fountain and a wisteria arbor and you have THE PERFECT location for Family Photo Day.

It’s going to be lush and green by the time April rolls around, so start coordinating those outfits with Spring colors to get prepared!

If you get your Easter outfits ready a few weeks early, they would make the perfect wardrobe.

This venue is not normally open to events like this, so your images will be extra special and unique.

Would you rather book a Mini Session or a Full Session? You can choose.

SATURDAY, APRIL 5th

Mini Session

StateMint Consignment

Registration is Officially Open!

The launch of StateMint Consignment, Knoxville’s first upscale consignment for adults, has been in the works for weeks and I’m thrilled to share that registration is officially open to the public!

StateMint Consignment was founded out of the belief that we can have style apart from materialism. We all have pieces in our closets that we loved at the checkout counter but, for one reason or another, they sit in our closet month after month never being worn. StateMint Consignment is a chance for consignors to clean out these unwanted, current styles and for shoppers to find incredible bargains at 50-70% off retail value.

After making hundreds of dollars consigning my kids clothes, I realized that the stylish adults of Knoxville needed an opportunity like this. It is my hope that consignors will be blessed just as I was by selling the things that are sitting unused in their closet and by finding incredible deals at the sale.

StateMint Consignment will donate a portion of the proceeds to help fund The Village, a community development project that will provide transitional housing for single-mother families in Knoxville, Tennessee. By consigning and shopping, you can help make the Village a reality! Our goal at this first sale is to fully furnish one of the units in The Village including living room furniture, bedding, lighting, kitchen supplies and more!

StateMint Consignment would not be possible without the help of these Founding Members. Thank you to Ashleigh Siggers, Katie Lee, Peyton Rohde, Jordann Allan, Meredith Allison, Elizabeth Seymour, Sydney Whaley and Christine Tran for giving your time and energy to make this event a success!

Read more about how the process works here. It takes about two minutes to sign up, and once you do your spot will be held. Register here!

Deborah Swanquist | Maternity

Deborah will be meeting her first child in a few weeks and what an an important time this is for moms. I remember spending hours planning, dreaming and sometimes worrying about what motherhood is all about. It’s such an important time of reflection in preparation for the wonderful changes that are coming.

Kimberly Poore | Maternity

Kimberly is waiting on baby number two. During her maternity shoot, I noticed that there’s a confidence that comes with motherhood the second time around. We’re still walking into a world of great unknowns, but after a few years of parenting I think we moms begin to realize that we’re going to make it. We’re going to survive and they’re going to survive and if we’re lucky, many of those days will be happy days full of cuddles and smiles and laughter.
