Specializing in outdoor child, family, and senior photography in the greater Chattanooga area.
I am wife to my best friend, homeschool momma of two boys, and a photographer in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I specialize in family, maternity, and newborn photography and serve all of greater Chattanooga and surrounding areas. I enjoy many things in life, such as snuggling up in a blanket on the couch while drinking a cup of coffee and watching candles burn, singing my heart out listening to my favorite music, to hanging out with my amazing family. Those are a few of my favorite things, and we haven’t even touched on my love for all things nature and animals. All of these things have one thing in common … connection. My entire life is built around finding connection and emotion in all things. This is where photography plays such an important role in my life. Showing a family’s connection and love toward one another, establishing personal connections with my clients, and knowing that my clients will walk away from their time with me having artwork that showcases their connection is what it is all about for me. I am not one to control your every move and hand placement during a session. However, if you are looking for a photographer that uses soft natural light and real moments to capture the connection and love between you and your family, I am your girl! Let’s chat … I can’t wait to meet you!
