Knoxville Family Photos at The Holmestead Studio

Family photos are never meant to be stressful, they are meant to be a special time documenting the stage of your family, whether you have little ones or kids that won’t stop growing up! At any stage, our session is fun and playful, filled with lots of laughter! With little ones, like this session, we tickled, snuggled, played peek-a-boo on daddy’s shoulders and came out with a gallery full of beautifully authentic images that represent this family’s stage of life.

We photographed at the Holmestead Studio in Knoxville, TN and it was the perfect setting to get those playful images, plus aren’t these girls just too adorable??!!

Fort Loudon State Park

Fort Loudon State Park is a great spot with water views, a dock and easily accessible beaches to play in the water. There are hiking trails with trees and nature backdrops. The park closes at sunset, so planning to end our session a little earlier than sunset is a must at this location.

Black Fox Farms, Cleveland, TN

Black Fox Farms in Cleveland, Tennessee is a beautiful location with A LOT of variety for backdrops! My favorite part is the pond with dock over the water which gives so many opportunities for beautiful photos all around it. Then, on the way to the pond, there are beautiful little nooks and crannies to take advantage of, like a small building that looks like something out of a fairytale. This farm is a working nursery, so in the spring and summer they have flowers and flowering trees that would provide a beautiful and unique setting for some close-up photos. And last but not least, at the back of the property is a river and really cool bridge going across, and there is a perfect spot for subjects to stand where the river would be in the background.

This is a great location with lots of opportunities for beautiful photos!

Mommy and Son Photo Session :: Benton Falls

This sweet mama went on an adventure with me and her 2 year old little boy. We met at a lake up in the hills, it’s a spot that my husband and I hiked in the fall and I just knew I had to photograph someone here. I had a vision of a mama and her child in the lake, and this mama made my vision come to life! It was the perfect setting to let her son explore, throw rocks in the water and climb on tree limbs.

Apple Valley Orchards, Cleveland, TN

Apple Valley Orchards in Cleveland, TN is a beautiful apple orchard with a variety of apples. The trees bloom towards the end of March or early April, and it all depends on the weather, but if flexible on dates this could be a beautiful and unique setting for your session! The apples turn red in October, and that is when they are harvested, however, there are a couple rows of deep red apples that don’t get harvested until November.
