Nissa's Boudoir Shoot

I met Nissa through my friend and client Mitsue's wedding festivities. I know it sounds cheesy, but she truly is a beautiful girl both on the inside and out. She did the pictures as a surprise for her husband for their first wedding anniversary, which I think is an awesome idea.

Some maraschino cherries added a lot of flavor to this shoot! Pun intended!

This is such an intensely powerful expression. She really could model.

In this shot, she looks like the women featured in early 19th
Century oil paintings ... just breathtaking!

Thanks so much Nissa for doing the shoot! I hope Joe loves them! Happy Anniversary!

Jessica's Modeling Shots

Jessica, my sister was my first photo subject.
She started modeling for me when we were little girls.
Now, we're both adults, and she still models for me from time to time.
This time, however, she is intending to enter the pictures in a modeling contest.

Maybe I am biased, but I think she is beautiful! Good luck, sis!

Robert and Mitsue's Wedding

Mitsue looked absolutely gorgeous on her wedding day.
Getting married completely agreed with her! She and Robert
were married on June 13 at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in
Maryville, and their reception was held at Green Meadow
Country Club in Louisville. Both locations
made for some beautiful photo opportunities!

I love the way this shot of the cake topper turned out. I wanted to show the
reception hall in a different way than just the standard, straightforward shots.

Mitsue danced with her cute daughter, Emma, several times that evening.
Both mother and daughter seemed to have an incredible day.

I am so happy that Mitsue has found someone who makes her happy!
Robert seems like a great guy! It's easy to see that he loves both Mitsue
and Emma and that they love him in return.

I couldn't resist sharing one more bridal portrait of Mitsue.
I was so happy to be part of her and Robert's wedding! Good luck to
Mitsue, Robert, and Emma! You have a wonderful family!

Here's a link to Robert and Mitsue's coffee table book.

Brian and Patty's wedding

Brian and Patty were married on June 6 in a small church in Norris. Their reception was held at the historic Foundry in World's Fair Park. Both venues served as a breathtaking backdrop for the couple's special day. This is a sneak peek of a few of our favorites. It was really hard to pick just a few so I am sure we will add more after we have delivered their pictures.

Patty is a math teacher so I thought it would be perfect to
incorporate a blackboard into their pictures.

Another beautiful bride!

Stained glass and a spiral staircase made for a must-shoot combination. We were thrilled to be part of Brian and Patty's wedding. They are an incredible couple, and we enjoyed getting to photograph what I am sure was one of the most remarkable days of their lives. Congratulations!

Here's a mock-up of the layout for their coffee table book.

Mitsue's Bridal Luncheon

Mitsue's bridal luncheon was held on May 2 at the Chilhowee Inn in Walland. The charming inn served as the perfect spot for the occasion. Several of her friends and relatives were present for the event. It was a wonderful day, and I enjoyed getting to know the ladies who will serve as her bridesmaids on June 13.

We couldn't resist taking a picture by the fireplace. It was just too beautiful!

Mitsue shows off a gorgeous frame that has the "love" passage from I Corinthians painted on it. What an awesome wedding gift!


The ladies toast Mitsue and congratulate her on her wedding, which is going to be amazing! I am so happy for her!

Wes and Amanda's Wedding

I have always been intrigued by the idea of incorporating sparklers into wedding pictures so we were psyched when Wes and Amanda, who were married on April 18, told us they were leaving through a tunnel of sparklers.

Wes and Amanda's wedding was held at Laurel Church of Christ, near Sequoyah Hills. Their reception was held at The Butcher Shop in World's Fair Park.

It was a beautiful day, and we really enjoyed getting to know the couple's family and friends. I met Amanda a little more than year ago, when she and Wes first got engaged.

She was kind enough to hire us to shoot her cousin's wedding, as well, which meant a lot to us. She is a really sweet girl, and Wes seems like a very nice guy. They make a very cute couple! We hope their new life together is wonderful! Good luck you guys!

Eadie's 2nd Birthday Party

We had so much fun following Eadie around on her birthday. She is a very cute and sweet little girl! Birthday parties are so much fun to cover! Eadie's dad is one of Ron's co-workers. We can't wait to do another shoot with them again!



She has the most beautiful, bright blue eyes! It was my goal to make sure that they sparkled in as many of the pictures as possible.


She had the most beautiful birthday cake I have ever seen! She truly was a princess for day!
