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!) :)

knoxville Engagement Photography - Stacy and John

Okay! Trying again to get caught up on all of these awesome fall sessions that we've been shooting recently! Up today is a cuddly couple! 

Meet Stacy and John. Stacy and John are just beginning to plan the wedding and set a date, so the wedding venue isn't known yet. However, Stacy saw pics from Dara's Garden that we'd shot previously and just knew that it would be where her engagement session would take place! And, as always, Dara's did NOT disappoint! 

Aren't they a cute couple?!

Always fun to get frisky on a bale of hay. ;)

It was such a beautiful day!

Sometimes secrets are sloppy!

Love this one!

Wes says that I get all "creepy stalker" when I shoot through stuff on sessions. I think it's cool though.

I love this barn so much!

Isn't Stacy going to be a beautiful bride?!

Love this one too!

I'm always a sucker for some sunflare!

This just seems so sweet and serene.

I love couples who are willing to do anything that we suggest. "Hey, get knee deep in those weeds. Hey, let's walk through some piles of cow poo to get to that hay bale. Hey, lay on the freezing cold ground!"

Wes pulled thorns out of his arm and leg for days after wading through weeds to get this shot.

This light was just fabulous!

Then, Stacy surprised us with, "hey at the end of the session, can we get in the creek?" Well, absolutely!!!

A shot of the bling.

Thank you so much Stacy and John! Can't wait until the wedding!

Knoxville Portrait Photography - The Dahl Sisters

The relationship sisters have is a pretty cool thing. I say this as an only child, but also as the father to two little girls. So I loved it when we got the call from Becky to do a session of her and her sister, Melissa. We did another sister session this time last year for one of our former brides and I thought it was a great idea then. I'm starting to think maybe we need to do these more often. Heck, not just sisters; any siblings!

Melissa was visiting Becky, who recently moved to Knoxville, so we met up at the UT Ag Gardens for the session. These two were a hoot to photograph.

That's Becky on the left and Melissa on the right. :)
We got a ton of these great looks they kept giving each other. It's almost like they could ready each others' minds.

Sisters gotta fight.

They like to laugh. A lot. :)

Looks like an album cover.
Careful… they'll freeze like that.
I think Melissa was saying, "that's enough!" but I had to keep going for a few more.
Thank you Dahl sisters!
