Jacqueline Photography

East Tennessee was recently blanketed with about 5″ of beautiful snow, and I could not let it melt without photographing a dreamy session. Scarlett was the perfect model with her horse. She wore one of my dresses from my client closet and bared the cold with me, and I’d say it was very well worth it!

This sweet family found me on Yelp and we jumped on the phone to get to know each other, discuss details about their visit to Gatlinburg and their session. This would be their first trip together as a blended family and their first time in the Pigeon Forge area. After a few minutes on the phone we quickly learned that Cameron and I went to high school together, all the way back in California! We didn’t know each other but we knew some of the same groups of people. And now, he has made his way to Georgia and met his beautiful girlfriend with 3 girls through their daughter’s softball team and they immediately hit it off, and so did their girls! Photographing them was like capturing a family that has always had each other, the closeness, the love and playfulness was beautiful!

I absolutely LOVED capturing their crew and sharing some of my favorite views of the Smoky Mountains, even if we had 45 mph wind gusts and then a downpour in the middle of our session. We just jumped in our cars to wait out the rain and warm up until it passed and then we experienced a beautiful sunset that made it all worth it!

SHE SAID YESSSS!!!! We may have driven all over Wears Valley and Gatlinburg to make this proposal happen, as the weather threw us a curve ball and shut down Foothills Pkwy for all the beautiful overlooks, but we made it happen at the restaurant they had reservations at and where all of their family was waiting to celebrate, and it was special as ever and ended up being the perfect place!

If you’re planning to propose to your special someone, reach out to me and let’s plan an epic proposal that will be captured for you to keep for all time!
