Hi, I'm Claire, your traveling Tennessee Photographer!
My camera roll is always full, on both camera and cell phone. My family or some new friends, it doesn't matter to me who is in the photo. I want to capture what's real.
The nose-scrunching laughs that turn into tears and hurt your cheeks.
The quiet glances that give you butterflies when you look back on them in 10 years.
The messy, unposed energy of life actually happening in front of my lens.
I’m especially drawn to seasons of growth like pregnancy, the raw experience of birth, and the early years that pass faster than you realize, but I truly love documenting life as it unfolds at all stages.
Whether it’s just you, the whole family, or your growing business, I’ll make sure you feel completely at ease, so your photos aren’t just beautiful, they feel undeniably you.
Whether it's the quiet anticipation of your first child, the bold transition of a student stepping into the world, or the grit and passion behind your small business—these chapters are the foundation of your story. They deserve to be captured exactly as they feel.
No awkwardness in front of a complete stranger. No forcing fake smiles. No ticking clocks.
Just a raw, tender, fun experience you’ll remember forever.
Something that pulls you completely out of the routine and makes this moment feel extraordinary, because it is.
For the Visionaries: Professional branding that shows the soul behind your business.
For the Graduates: Personality portraits that capture your "Main Character" energy before the next big leap.
For the Romantics: Intimate weddings, wild elopements, and cultural milestones like Quinceañeras—where tradition meets emotion.
I’m here to help you create photographs you’ll fall in love with every single time you look at them on the walls of your home… memories you’ll pass down for generations.
I create photos that bring you back to that feeling.
This isn’t just a photoshoot, it's an experience documenting moments you'll remember the rest of your life.

While I love documenting every season—from the energy of a new business to the "main character" spirit of a graduating senior—there is something uniquely sacred about the moment two people decide to go through life together.
These are the milestones that set everything in motion.
The lip-quivering "yes" during a surprise proposal.
The trembling hands as the ring is placed on your finger.
The vows spoken at the edge of a mountain or in a quiet, sun-drenched room.
Whether you’re jumping into the excitement of a micro-wedding or planning a wild, intentional elopement, this is where your legacy begins. It deserves to be remembered with intention.
I’m a big believer that the best photos happen in places that actually mean something.
The map below is full of spots I’ve fallen in love with—whether it's a picture-perfect venue for a Smoky Mountain elopement or a random, beautiful spot I found while getting lost on the backroads one day.
If you have a place in mind that isn’t on here yet—like your family’s land or a porch you’ve spent a lifetime on—I’m always down to pack the car and meet you there!
