Family + Portrait Investment & Booking Info
Your investment is valued here, so I have curated pricing that gives you peace of mind that you're receiving quality and lots of it. I don't limit the amount of photos I edit- I will always edit all the greats shots so that you can choose your favorites because I don't want pretty photos sitting on my computer unseen. I also don't charge per photo- your investment includes your edited images-always! Each photo is edited individually. I pay attention to details and edit out unwanted objects, noticeable blemishes, stray hairs, and take the time for each image to be "print-worthy."
A couple of times of year, I host themed mini-sessions benefiting a foundation started by good friends of ours. As of now, we have "Santa & Mrs Claus minis" and "Easter minis." If we are booking for one of those events, you will see more info below.
{ A deposit of $50 is required upon booking a session to hold your date. The deposit is non-refundable, but in cases of sickness or inclement weather, it can be applied to a future date. }
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!
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!
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.
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.
