working with the kingsport theater guild!
After our successful HMG/Relay for Life fundraiser this year, we were approached by wonderful Sharon Hurd of the Kingsport Theater Guild about the possibility of doing something with them. We jumped at the chance, of course - and it was SUCH a good time! We held our mini sessions at the “home” of KTG, the Kingsport Renaissance Center, and it [...]
the rhea family is amazing!
Kelly, her husband A.R., daughter Caroline and son Jack (and doggie Jill!) were so completely delightful when we met at their beautiful home last week! Our session was relaxed and natural, and it felt like we had known them for years! It was a perfect evening for a shoot, so we simply roamed the grounds, following the light as the [...]

adventures with lauren, nicholas & caroline!
This session can be summed up with one word: FUN! Goodness gracious, Jennifer and I have a complete dream-job if there ever was one!! We ventured out to Greeneville to play with the adorable and super-fun Thomas kiddos at their place, and we honestly didn’t want to leave!! (I think Jennifer could’ve stayed on the trampoline [...]
averie leigh’s birth
What a powerful, emotional and awesome experience! Jennifer and I rolled up at the hospital at 6:30am on the morning of little Averie’s birth, and about a half-hour later the doctors were already wheeling Christy back for the c-section! We were actually given permission for one of us to be present during the surgery and birth (I nominated [...]

meghann & levi are engaged!
I honestly have to say that Meghann and Levi are probably the FUNNIEST grown-ups we’ve had the pleasure of photographing! These two are playful and candid and not a bit shy, and we had an absolute blast at their engagement shoot! Their wedding is coming up in just a few short weeks, and Jenn and [...]
fun with family at the park
When Melissa originally contacted us, it was for a family session with her husband Jeff and kiddos Camryn and Coleman. Well, due to a conflict with Jeff’s schedule, he wasn’t able to make it – so rather than waste the date, Melissa smartly recruited her sister Rebecca’s family to join us at the park! And with 3 kids [...]
ralph jeffers : musician on the rise
Ralph is a phenomenal singer/songwriter/guitar player that Jennifer and I had the pleasure of photographing last week. (Be sure to check out his website to learn more about him and his music!) We had lots of fun walking around downtown Johnson City, following the good light and finding all kinds of interesting nooks and crannies to use as backdrops. Ralph, we wish [...]
in love (with baby averie)!
Okay – what can I say?! We have about 10 other sessions to blog, but after I shot this sweet image of baby Averie this morning I KNEW I couldn’t wait to post it. So snuggly, so sweet, so perfect! It just makes me sigh with contentment… Christy and Chris, we’ll obviously be posting more from the [...]
hudson is 2!
Hudson is the youngest boy of our friend Christy (and let me just say, he is completely ADORABLE!), and Jennifer had the super fun job of photographing his amazing pirate-themed birthday party last week! There were swords and eye patches and even a treasure map that lead to a fun find at the end! (I wish [...]

Sweet Sarah and her adorable hubby Matt are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their first little one next month! We met up with them last week for a beautiful morning maternity session, and oh. my. gosh. are the images great! We did everything from peaceful to playful, and it was SO hard to decide what to [...]
ian and his mommy
Jennifer had the pleasure of photographing adorable Ian and his mom Krystal downtown Kingsport last week, and they had a ball! Little Ian was a bundle of fun and energy, and he especially loved seeing the trains and exploring the train station. Krystal, all the images are SO fun, we can’t wait for you to see the entire [...]
birthday girl
Just wanted to give a shout-out to my little niece Annabelle who turns 2 today!! Hope you get all the cake and presents you wish for, little girl!
our good friends
Back before Picsee was a reality, I did a lot of talking, wondering and praying about where my future would lead. (And I know Jennifer did the same!) I can’t count the times I’ve second guessed my abilities during this crazy journey, but you know those friends who always seem to lift you up just when you need it most? Well, Badi and Jill are two of those people for [...]
on the lake with the scharfsteins
Jennifer and I always have a great time with this wonderful family, but last Saturday was a real treat! Mom Lindi had the fantastic idea to go out on the boat for a little ride, and I think the grown-ups had as much fun as the kiddos! We got lots of biggg smiles from Benjamin [...]
funniest kids…ever!
Hello, everybody – please meet the adorable Cassidy family! They were so warm and friendly, we really had a wonderful time photographing them! Kiddos Alexa and Dillon had us absolutely ROLLING with laughter the entire time! Their Sponge Bob sayings and wild ways kept us in stitches, and we can’t wait to see what they have in store [...]
the broglio bunch
Jennifer and I made our way up to Bristol last week to photograph the beautiful Broglio family, and what a sweet, sweet shoot it was! Precious, brand-new baby Connor was an absolute peach the ENTIRE time, and big brother Noah couldn’t have been more adorable with his blonde hair and BIG blue eyes! Angela and [...]
kevin + marie (are wonderful!)
On the same evening we photographed Crystal and her mom Lesley (see post below) we also had the pleasure of shooting Marie and her hubby Kevin! Theirs is the type of session we like to call a “flirt” session - it’s not an engagement or a wedding, just a fabulous way for a married couple to [...]
