Knoxville Portrait Photography - The Brezeale Family

Moving on with another amazing fall session, we meet the Brezeales from South Carolina. They're big UT fans so we started off at Neyland Stadium and then headed over to Ag Gardens.

None of us realized that it was Homecoming Week, so the stadium was a hotspot of activity. Our plans to sneak in and get a few shots on the field didn't happen. Well, we tried, but none of us were in the mood to get tasered by the security guards. We improvised and did some photos around the stadium instead.

Go Big Orange!
What a fun family! You can tell Miller and Jonathan love their folks. :)
You can't go the gardens without playing on the old truck.
Brothers.
A few of just Jared and Jeanette.
Miller's mugging like he's King of the Rock.
For the record, I didn't ask them to pull Jared's ears.
I told the boys to look mean. After the giggles subsided, this was the photo.

Everybody tackle Dad!!
If they ever release a rock album, I think we found their cover.
Thank you Brezeale family! It was great session (a whole lot better than the Vols' season!) :)

Maryville Portrait Photography - The Yarnell Family

Okay, so disregard the previous post… our phone is back up and running! We're still unpacking the new house, but I'm sneaking away from the boxes to get a little work done. We photographed one of our favorite families, the Yarnells, recently in Maryville for a fall session. We've gotten to watch their little family grow over the last few years and it's been a great honor to be their photographer.

We got loosened up with a little soccer. Check out Lilly's form!
So maybe Logan wasn't too into the session at first.
Lilly liked throwing leaves at me.
What a nice family. And check out that foliage!
Daddy and his little girl.

There's Logan's smile!
Stick!
If this photo doesn't make you smile, then something is wrong with you.


Yes! Four smiles!
Sweet siblings
And full circle back to soccer.
As always, it was a pleasure Yarnell family! See you soon! :)

Growing pains and technical difficulties

Greetings everyone! Just a quick note to let you know that the blog has been quiet because we've moved (houses… not blogs). Last week we crossed town to move into a new house. It's fun, scary, and overwhelming. And it means a backlog of work that needs to be caught up on. So stay patient, we'l be getting some new work online soon enough.

And on a related note, our phones are down. The lines in the new house were never set up so we're waiting around on a fix. In the (hopefully brief) meantime, if you need us, please drop us a line at info@hope-photo.com. Or you can contact us through our Facebook Page.

Thanks and we hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!


UPDATE!!
AT&T came through! We're back up and running. So call us a 865-977-6483 to get on the books in 2013! :)

Seymour Maternity Photography - Gina and Josh

Okay! How about a fall maternity session?!

Today, we meet Gina and Josh who are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their first baby! They are due to have a little bouncing, baby boy on Christmas Day. What a Christmas gift right?

Gina is just gorgeous though. I wish I looked that good when I was 8 months preggers!

Josh, giving baby Lleyton some kisses.

Gina has a terrific laugh!

If you give us a field of tall grass, we are going to play in it…a lot.

I love this one!

The bump!

Again, I just love those clients who do anything that we ask in order to get the shot. :)

Don't mess with Momma!

A little baby bump shadow.

And then Gina's brother says, "Hey there's a willow tree at the church next door". Give us a willow tree and some amazing light and we're gonna play…a lot!

Can't decide if this one or the next one is my favorite…?

Oooooo…or this one!

Thank you so much Gina and Josh! It was great hanging out with you two and we can't wait to do the same with little Lleyton when he arrives!
