Maryville Portrait Photography - The Davis Family

Okay, if that last session didn't get you in the mood for Christmas, then this one surely will! Today we have more regulars to our blog with the Davis family. Lynn (the matriarch) hired us to do family photos of the entire family (great grandparents included) and while we were there we did a few of the youngest grandkids too!

Check out these cuties! Remember Annagrace from Thursday's post? This is her with her cousin Lila who we've also photographed since birth!

This just seems so sweet and peaceful to me!

Love the look that Annagrace is giving those lights!

Lila wasn't too sure of the lights at first.

Then she quickly got to work moving them all into a pile!

Together they rearranged those lights exactly how they wanted them!

I can't even say how much I LOVE Annagrace's expressions in these two pics!

Beth, Brian and Annagrace.

The whole Davis crew!

Curt, Dawn and Lila.

Thank you so much Davis family! It is always great hanging out with you all!! We love you guys!

Gatlinburg Wedding Photography - Karin and Joe

Taking a break from fall sessions…well, kinda. Today we have a wedding to blog…well, kinda. Meet Karin and Joe. They came down from Illinois to get married in a very private ceremony at the cabin they were staying at in Gatlinburg. Just because you don't have the big ceremony and reception, doesn't mean that you can't have some great photos of you on your wedding day! Karin felt the same way and hired us to do some portraits of them.

We met at the Sugarlands Visitors Center in Gatlinburg and started there. While we aren't having any winter weather now, we did have a month ago and it was super cold and had even snowed in the mountains just a few days before. However, with a couple from the much colder North, we couldn't wimp out in the cold! We slapped on our heavy jackets, and gloves and made the most of a cold and drizzly day in the mountains!

We thought that this waterfall would be awesome with all of the runoff from the snow, but it was just a trickle.

Still made for a nice backdrop though!

And we lucked out and found a little fall color still hanging on!

One of my favorites!

What? You think it's funny that we asked you to walk out onto the wet slippery rocks in almost freezing weather?!

It's worth it though! :)

Another favorite.

So pretty there!

Thank you Karin and Joe for letting us be a part of your big day! We wish you many years of happiness!
