get to know a little more about me
the heart behind the lens
Knoxville Based Family, Couples, and Maternity Photographer
Hey, lovers! All my friends think I'm a total cheeseball and they would be correct. My jokes are the equivalent of your typical dad jokes, but I am a very passionate person. I always have tissues ready if I'm watching a sad movie or while editing your beautiful photos. Don't ask me to go out past 9 because once I'm in pjs, I'm not changing unless it's an emergency or someone is going to feed me cheesecake on a beach somewhere!
If you ever can't find me at a gathering, find the animals and there's a 99% chance you'll find me too. There's also a good chance I'm wherever the snacks are! I see beauty in places others might not. I'm a kid at heart, but have an old soul. I love serving others and if I could, I'd have alllllll the animals!!! Work with me and we will most certainly get caught dancing randomly in the park during your photo session. But, hey! Those good vibes make the best photos! :)

i'm crazy about ya!
My best friend and better half is my sweet hubby, Charlie. He loves hiking, trying new restaurants and breweries, going to concerts, is very musical himself, and I believe he could build just about anything. He built us a gorgeous dining room table last year. He is also really into film photography right now and I am so excited about it!

These are our two beautiful dogs. Ella is my first fur child and she's a mix I rescued from a shelter when I was in college. She is the most well behaved and sweetest dog ever. Sampson (Sam for short) is our super goofy, super loving Golden Retriever. He's just a big baby who loves cuddling and swimming at the lake. These two are my whole world.
Ella & Sam
This is our furry beast, Monte. He acts more like a dog than a cat. He's a Maine Coon who has 7 toes on both front paws. I love him, but we have a love-hate relationship. I'm pretty sure he has been plotting my demise since day one! On the other hand, he LOVES my husband and my mother. I'm convinced he has everyone fooled!

"Our shoot was amazing. She made us feel so comfortable and hyped up the whole time!"
We love Morgan so much
Intimacy is EVERYTHING when it comes to capturing memories you can feel. Get to know me a little more intimately...
I was raised on
I often get most of my busy work days and to do lists done by jamming to 90s country. Shania Twain is usually on repeat. I'd say my alter ego is wearing my cowgirl boots, maybe even a cowgirl hat, with a good beer in hand dancing my little heart out. You bet we played some Shania and a TON of 80s music at our wedding. We danced the night away and I even get to see Shania in concert this year. I will probably cry tons of happy tears and leave without a voice.

I also love
I masterfully played them so much on my husbands Spotify account (I don't have my own acct) last year that they made it on his Spotify wrapped list! I'm still laughing about it! I love a lot of music, especially pop or anything I can dance too, but they were my most played while we were doing home renovations and I was painting every room in the house. Their music kept me sane. You bet if I can ever get my hands on tickets to a reunion tour I will be going!

I beleive you should
I grew up in the kitchen watching both my mom and granny cooking. I learned a lot from them and I ALWAYS licked the spoon! Now, that has taken on an entirely new meaning for me. Taking risks like "licking the spoon" has taught me to have trust, confidence, and persistence. So by gosh, lick the spoon friends! You only live once and I know you want to lick the brownie batter if nothing else. Don't kid yourself!
lick the spoon!

top 3 movies I could watch
Oh my goodness I love movies. Rom-Coms are probably my favorite. My top 3 movies I will never get tired of watching are How To Loose A Guy In 10 Days, Bridesmaids, and The Proposal. My favorite "chick-flick" is The Notebook. I also caught up on the new Spiderman movies recently and I'm a big fan. Also, did anyone else cry during the new Guardians of the Galaxy because I did. I'm a big couch potato so if you ever need Netflix or Amazon Prime recommendations, let me know. I got you!

i have a dream to
I'm dreaming of the day that we can fully embrace slow living on a big farm full of animals, kids running around playing in the dirt, and growing our own food. I can't think of much else that sounds more perfect. I want to start my mornings slow on a wrap around porch watching the sun rise and set with the ones I love. A girl can dream can't she?! I took this pic while visiting Vermont. TAKE ME BACK!

quote to live by
I was a dancer in high school and still love dancing to this day. It's a great outlet for me to destress and it's also just a part of who I am. One of the things I do all the time is make up my own obnoxious dance moves to make my husband laugh. I'm really good at being embarrassing! haha Find your people and dance through life. I preach "living in the moment" to my clients all the time and I mean it! Life is too short my friend. Dance, sing. laugh, and live in the moment because it will be gone too quick.
dance like no one's watching

The butterfly
in my logo
Choosing to have my name represent my business was an easy decision as I built my brand around values already important to me. When I was choosing a logo that would accompany my business name, the same thing kept coming to mind- the butterfly. Like the butterfly, we all go through different stages in life. Before it grows wings, it's seen as a simple caterpillar.
I thought to myself, perhaps the butterfly is proof that we should concentrate less on perfect timing and more on embracing the here and now. Blessed are those that see beautiful things in humble places where others may see nothing.
My clients know that at the end of the day, what matters most is that they savor this time in their lives. Remembering how this season of life truly felt is something they value.
There will always be excuses and reasons to wait for perfect timing, but now is as good of a time as ever to document your memories. This season of life is too good to miss friend. So love yourself, love this current season of life, love the chaos, and love those around you. Join me on my mission to love and give back. I've been up to quite a bit of fun this year!
