Misty, Queen of the Wilds

Warrior Women Series I remember being a teenager and feeling invincible. Life was on a constant tipping point. I hoped that one day I would grow up to be strong and independent. That I would become the heroine I had always read about in stories. But the world has a way of beating us down,…

Warrior Women-Queen Taylor

I’ve always loved stories and fantasy novels. I love costuming, dressing up and playing pretend. I love the idea of characters. I’ve always believed stories help us relate to reality, to deal with emotions, to learn perspective. They empower us. It was almost by accident I got the idea, or the rather happened into something…

Heather, Jesse, & J. Ray

There’s some sort of magic, or simple fascination with the world that kind of grows out of us. We just become too numb to the world, and kids remind me not to let go of that fascination, to find something incredible and new each day, and to appreciate little things. As I took these pictures,…

The Browns

It was a hot, sunny July day in downtown Knoxville when we shot this beautiful wedding inside and outside of the Sunsphere. Everything was beautiful, Chris and Amy’s hardwork planning out every little detail paid off, and we had a blast getting to document this day! We wish Chris and Amy Brown much happiness!

L.Z. & A.

I had the distinct pleasure to photograph this beautiful little family! I was so excited to get to be a part of something as important as documenting a small fraction of their time together. It is wonderful that I have friends who will let me try out and experiment with them to help me better…
