Ya know how some people just make your heart full and happy? Well, the Tiller family is like that. Good people who just make you smile! Becky, Christy and I cannot say enough sweet things about these guys! We’ve known them for years now (take a look WAYYY back on the old blog for their [...]
5 lbs & 7 oz of sweetness!
Teeny tiny babygirl Hayden made her debut into the world 3 weeks prior to her due date, on 8.9.10. What a neat birthday to have! Daddy Joe called to give the word that Daphanie was in labor, and Jennifer and I rushed as fast as we could to the hospital to photograph Hayden’s birth. Everything was so intense [...]
the fearless frohlichs!
Christy and I were super excited about shooting the Frohlich family a few weeks ago! We photographed eldest daughter Blaine’s senior session a couple months ago (remember the amazingness?!) and had a blast, so we were pumped to meet her younger siblings Makenzee, Sophie and Jake! Mom Karen loved the “downtown” urban-inspired shots we did for Blaine’s session, so we [...]
a storm’s a brewin’ & so is a baby!
I have been friends with Daphanie since the fifth or sixth grade. I have been lucky enough to play dolls with her as a child, learn how to drive with her as a teenager, see her fall competely in love with her hubby Joe as an adult, and now add to her family with a sweet baby [...]
the fab fontaine fam!
Before we leave ya for the weekend we’d like you to meet the awesome Fontaine family! Mom Lynda called us to book a special session with her hubby Darryl and three sons Alex, Max and Rhys. These guys hadn’t had a family session for a hot little bit, and with son Alex graduating from high school and leaving for the Air Force [...]
an evening with the kazmier fam!
This shoot was fun and FULL of energy! Terri and I had brainstormed back and forth about the session for a couple weeks, and we just love when clients have a distinct vision for their shoots! Terry loves the natural, candid style of our images and wanted us to capture her family simply doing what they [...]
helsel happiness!
A few weeks back we had a Picsee road-trip day (out the Knoxville way) and our first stop was for a session with the Helsel family! We met up at Shasta’s family’s farm in Morristown and it was GORGEOUS! Beautiful little Ashlyn was a bit camera shy at first (totally understandable – we’re like personal-paparazzi, after all!), but [...]
rockin’ with the rodefer’s!
Tonya and her sweet family were SOOOOO excited about their shoot, and we just love enthusiastic families! We had rain ALL week prior to the session, and Christy and I were bummed when it started to sprinkle on our way there…but we could see the blue skies in the distance, so we went for it! We [...]
the sweetest thing!
This was our FIRST daddy-daughter session in Picsee history (oddly enough we did our second one in the same week - to be blogged soon) and oh my GOODNESS are these images adorable! Brent’s sis-in-law Marguerite (who we’re photographing later this summer) really wanted him to have some great pictures with his adorable daughter Mya, so she called [...]
the fantabulous fogle fam!
Heather, we know you have been waiting since last year to have your family session, but we’re SO glad we didn’t shoot back in December – just look at what beautiful weather we ended up with for your special day! Dad Ray, mom Heather, and kiddos Simon & Eleanor met up with us a couple [...]
elizabeth is graduating!
We have such a great time photographing seniors! And the day Jennifer and I photographed Elizabeth was an EXTRA special day for her! She had just learned that she had received a full ride scholarship to the University of Tennessee!! How awesome is that??!! She was so pumped about her good news, which made for a shoot [...]
picsee mini sessions!
Ohhhhh mama, we’re cookin’ up some AWESOME sneak peeks for this week, but before we tease ya with those, we wanted to share some info about our 2010 mini sessions! Due to an OVERWHELMING positive response last year, we’ve made the decision to make mini sessions available for not only the fall/Christmas rush, but all year long! That’s right…you [...]

It is the 12th day of January – in 20TEN! Can you believe it?! We hardly can! After our extended winter break (which “technically” isn’t over until Monday) we’re rejuvinated, energized, jazzed, BRIMMING with exciting ideas, new products, new workflow and overall great vibes to make THIS year the BEST year in Picsee History! First off, [...]
big family fun!
On the recommendation of an awesome coworker (we love our Picsee followers!) Ed contacted us to document his big family of 6 during Thanksgiving break when they would all be together. He and his family are new to the tri-cities, originally from Texas, and we were so excited that they called! Jennifer and I had everyone meet [...]
a downtown day!
Autumn and I have been friends since high school, and for her birthday last year I got her the perfect gift – a Picsee session certificate for her and her son Jordan! ; ) Then we had rain-outs, sports scheduling conflicts and when it seemed like things might never work out we FINALLY made it happen! [...]
a mother’s love!
We’ve had quite a few “mommy & me” sessions here lately and we just love them! It’s so sweet when moms want us to document them with their children…the love shared by mother and child is so special - there’s just nothing else like it! Mom Rebecca (who is STUNNING, by the way!) contacted us a while back to schedule [...]

Another fall shoot with a wonderful family, beautiful weather and glorious light to post for today! : ) (Never can get sick of those!)

the kirk’s are too kool!
Christy and I went to visit the Kirk fam alllll the way back at the beginning of November. (Yes, we know! We are still a biiiiit behind on the ‘ole blog!) Tara and her hubby Kevin welcomed us into their beautiful home and introduced us to their sweetheart daughters Hayley and Ashlyn. The weather was sooooo gorgeous and the [...]
hangin’ with the harkleroads!
What a brilliant day for a session! The weather and light couldn’t have been more perfect on the day of the Harkleroad family’s shoot! We had a blast outdoors - daughters Haley & Isabella were so spunky and full of personality! It’s always fun to photograph sisters who have so much fun TOGETHER! : ) Mom Angela and dad Randy were lots [...]
warm & toasty!
The Browder family sessions are always a blast, but this fall was especially fun! We met up at a new location (great scouting, Alice!) and let the antics begin! The kids played in the woods, ran through the leaves, tossed the football around, and we ended with a good old-fashioned marshmallow toasting around the fire! I [...]
chillin’ with the cooks!
Jennifer and I took a nice little scenic drive over to Castlewood, VA especially to photograph the Cook family! Melissa is seriously one of THE nicest people – she’s one of those who hugs you up, even if she’s only just met you, and we LOVE that about her! Hubby Jeff and kiddos Camryn and Coleman are JUST as sweet, [...]
lovin’ the skeen family!
*whew* This family is full of fun and LOVE! Jenn and I met up with the Skeens at their beautiful home and ended the session doing what dad and the boys like best: golf! We had lots of laughs keeping up with Jackson and Carter…we played in the house, tossed the football around, and even drove the [...]
the wonderful weatherall fam!
What a SWEET session this was! We especially love being able to visit our clients’ homes, and the fact that this session was in home AND involved Nan (dad Jeff’s mom) from out of town made it extra special! We got to meet lil baby sister Elle back in March, and 6 months later she’s still impossibly cute!! (Get a load [...]
