Taylor & Christian’s Big Announcement

/ Mary Davis Photography / Leave a comment

As a photographer, there’s something truly special about having repeat clients. It’s not just about capturing moments; it’s about building relationships and becoming part of someone’s story. Having loyal clientele means more than just another photoshoot. It means celebrating milestones, witnessing growth, and being there for the moments that matter most.

I photographed Taylor and Christian shortly after they had moved to Tennessee about a year and a half ago. I was honored when they contacted me with the news of their pregnancy and wanting announcement photos. Being able to document the evolution of their journey from settling into a new place to expecting a new member in their family has been an incredibly rewarding experience.

Twin Arches- Defying Magnificence

The beauty of life and exploring is that sometimes you can’t digitally capture what the eye sees. There are so many magnificent things to see in real life that just can’t be recreated. It’s easier to carry my camera in hand on hikes because I never know what will catch my eye, but there are times where I just don’t even attempt the photo for this reason. Twin Arches offered many of these opportunities to just enjoy what nature had to offer. This hike is located in Big South Fork and is part of the National Park service. Encompassing over 125, 000 acres in Tennessee and Kentucky, this area offers every type of recreation for those adventure seekers.

Autumn Morning Hike

Early morning, when the leaves are beginning to change and there is a cool breeze and an overcast sky, make the ideal conditions for my favorite time to hike. When I saw these Junipers, I knew that these photos would be my favorite. Hall Bend Loop is a 5-mile trek located near TVA’s Tellico Dam that meanders along the lake for a good portion. At some points along the trail, the buzzing sound of traffic fades and you feel as f you are miles deep in the woods.
