Baby Greyson Newborn

Baby Greyson was born on December 13th, 2011. I went to high school with his mommy, Mandi, and was so excited when she asked me to take his newborn photos. Greyson was such a doll during his session. I love his dark head of hair he got from his momma. Such a blessing!

Luke + Coty

Luke and Coty are such a perfect couple! They are both currently attending law school, but in different cities. Coty is here in Knoxville at University of Tennessee College of Law while Luke is away in Charleston, SC finishing his final year at College of Charleston. Luke interned this past summer at the same law firm where my husband works. I was thrilled when he asked me to take some photos of he and Coty as a couple while he was in town visiting her after the holidays. We met up in the Old City for a more urban setting and finished our session at the Bluebird Christmas Tree Farm in Heiskell, TN. The farm owner was so gracious to let us use his property after Coty contacted him with our unusual request. I LOVED this setting! Luke and Coty, here are a few favorites of mine below. Best of luck with this Spring semester!

Extreme Makeover Home Edition: Knoxville, TN

I had the pleasure of working for Extreme Makeover Home Edition last week while they were in town filming a special episode that will air over the Thanksgiving holiday in 2012. The deserving family for this build was Daniel and Mandy Watson, who co-founded The Restoration House of East Tennessee. The Restoration House is an organization that supports low-income single mothers through transitional housing, mentoring, financial counseling, and educational opportunities. I met a close friend of the Watson’s while helping with the Thanksgiving send-off parade for the family. This friend shared the Watson’s story and the heart they have for these women. She said that Daniel and Mandy were inspired to start this organization based on their own histories as children of single mothers.

Extreme Makeover has always been one of my favorite shows. I just love the message it has of giving back to those in need. I actually had the opportunity to help with a EMHE build in Raleigh, NC while I was in college but there is nothing like having that big orange bus roll into TN to help someone in our very own community! There are no volunteers like the TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS!!These photos were taken for personal use only with no affiliation to EMHE.
