Family + Portrait Investment & Booking Info

I have several options when it comes to investment- half hour session, one hour session, the membership program, and an all-inclusive Keepsake Package. You'll find all the info you need below, but please reach out if you'd like to connect and ask questions!

One thing you'll notice is that you won't find "mini sessions" here. This is why- I tried them in the past because the idea behind it is great- quick back to back sessions at the same location, squeeze in several families, everyone gets a few basic shots and call it a day. But for me, so much was lost in those sessions. I lost the time to chat with your kids and ask them about school & their hobbies so they could get comfy with me. I lost the time for candid, playful shots because we had to make sure we got the basics first. You lost the ability to relax and enjoy the session. You also lost the real connections that come with slowing down and living in the moment. The magic was lost, and I'm not okay with that. The magic is the best part! To help you with that change in what I offer, I reduced the price of the half hour session option to be within $50 of mini session pricing.

You can find more info below!

Where do I shoot?

You have options depending on your expectations for the shoot. Some locations are free & public and others are private & will cost a venue fee to reserve it. It's always a good idea to have an idea on location before booking so we can make sure your ideal spot is available (if private). Take a look at your options!

Melton Hill Park

{ Hardin Valley area- behind the schools, no extra charge }

I love shooting here because of the variations of background options- tall grass, bluffs and lake views, even a little beach to dip your toes in. Very busy during peak seasons.

Lakeshore Park

{ Bearden Area- off northshore/Lyons Bend, no extra charge }

Lakeshore is great if you want some structure elements- there's a beautiful walking path, an historic brick building with a huge lawn and beautiful magnolia trees. The sun sets perfectly behind the building. It does become very busy during fall peak season.

Sequoyah Hills Park

{ Off the boulevard in Sequoyah Hills- no extra charge }

Sweet & simple so we can focus on your family- large grassy lawns and lake views. The boulevard is tree lined and beautiful year round. I know a little less crowded spot, but still can be busy during peak seasons.

The Holmstead Farmhouse & Indoor Studio

{ Karns area- close to Grace Baptist Church- $75 per hour for the outdoor portion of the venue and $100 for the glasshouse portion of the venue }

This little farmhouse venue has it all- porch and tree swings, wildflowers in the summer time, grassy fields + an indoor glasshouse studio with lots of windows and charm!

Fields of Grace Farms

{ Clinton area- about 10 minutes from the Oak Ridge Calhouns- $60 per hour for just the farm or $150 per hour with the animals included - fee can be split if booking a half hour session & I can book another session back to back}

Looking for a farm backdrop complete with the cutest farm animals? This is one of my favorite new places to shoot! The gorgeous fields and oak trees make for a beautiful backdrop as well as the sweetest mini highland cow, horses, goats and more that you can interact with during your session. Not to mention, there's also a beautiful creek to dip your toes in too! WELL worth the fee- your kids will never forget this session!

Maple Grove Estate

{ Cedar Bluff area- $75 per hour }

This location is so dreamy with brick-walled gardens, a tree-lined LONG driveway, and a beautiful white home for the backdrop. The whole venue is reserved for you and there's so many great photo spots!

The Bleak House

{ Just outside of downtown Knoxville in the Sequoyah Hills area - $50 per hour}

There are beautiful gardens outside, and also a gorgeous white brick sunroom inside. I love this room as an option because it's temperature controlled and we can shoot rain or shine! Plus the historic home is a Knoxville iconic spot.
