In the midst of nature’s breathtaking autumn display, family photo sessions become an opportunity to capture cherished moments against a backdrop of vibrant colors. The warmth of family bonds, combined with the season’s rich palette, creates timeless images that not only reflect the beauty of Fall, but also encapsulate the love laughter, and connection shared among family.
Knoxville Botanical Gardens hosted a bonsai show displaying over 50 specimens. Achieving a mature-looking bonsai can take 5-25 years that results in a visually captivating living piece of art. Years and often decades of dedication, patience, and skills are involved to cultivate these miniature trees.
Those apple pies at the Fall Apple Festival were worth standing in line for!! This annual festival is hosted by the Washington Presbyterian Church in Corryton, Tennessee and all proceeds are given to a mission chosen by the Church Session. Baked goods, apple cider, cornmeal ground on-site, and of course the famous fried apple pies make this festival a Fall favorite!
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.
What a fantastic event! The 4th annual Cars for Canines is a pet-friendly car show hosted by Summer Knight Cruisers and Explore Oak Ridge (Tennessee). This day of entertainment is for a great cause- raising funds for the Oak Ridge Animal Shelter and the Anderson County Humane Society!
The Jackson Square Lavender Festival in Oak Ridge, TN is something that I have wanted to attend for years! Combined with the Farmers Market, it was absolutely wonderful!
