I believe in real moments along with the classic shots you want to frame and gift to grandma. I believe in letting kids run and chasing sunsets. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together. I believe in images that are going to last from generation to generation, placed in beautiful frames and hung on walls for years to come.

BEHIND THE LENS
-devon
I had both my children when I was just a baby myself it seems, 22 & 24. Watching them as teenagers today, growing into young adults is more rewarding than I ever imagined. My boyfriend met us when we were lost in the world, figuring things out solo, and has since been our rock and our stability in life.
We have two goldendoodles and two cats that keep us snuggled on the daily. We love biking, live music, theme parks, quality family time, and thrifting. I do my best to romanticize this life we live every day and never take it for granted.
I was born and raised in the scruffy city of Knoxville, TN. I have always been a bit of a home body, but as I get older I am feeling the itch to explore more!
Way back in 2013 I decided on a *slight* whim that I wanted to become a photographer. With zero background in entrepreneurship, zero education in photography, lots of hopes and dreams along with perseverance - I slowly taught myself how to become a professional photographer.
I dove right in with portraits and weddings shortly after. I knew this was what I was meant to do right away. Creating a business like this that allowed me to be creative, chase sunsets, be around beautiful people and families - not to mention be my own boss and create my own hours - was a dream come true.
I am a believer in creating relationships with my clients and giving them an experience that makes them want to work with me again. I do my best to never make you feel like a stranger when we begin our time together. Photography is a very vulnerable art and my goal is make you feel confident and beautiful.
IT's NICE TO MEET YOU

Devon is an AMAZING photographer! She took my elopement photos and I couldn’t be happier with them. We took photos in Downtown Knoxville when it was very busy and she is so good with timing it looks like my husband and I were the only people there. She had so many great ideas for locations and poses. She has a wonderful personality and made me feel so comfortable as I’m usually uncomfortable having my photo taken.
"She will be my go to photographer from now on!"

Once you reach out about your photos with me, we will chat about dates, locations, and I'll answer any questions you have for me. To secure a date on my calendar, you'll receive a contract & invoice to return back to me.
my PROCESS
Over a decade ago, I was stuck serving tables with two small children. I knew I wanted more for myself and for them. I had always loved photography and decided one day I was going to start my own business. Here we are, going strong!
my JOURNEY
I have always said my style isn't dark & moody or light & airy - it's more warm & rich. I love chasing golden light, capturing in between moments, making sure details are noticed, and my clients feel confident.

If you're looking for images that are rich, beautiful and emotive paired with a photo experience that is as easy as checking into a five star hotel, you're in the right place.
I value taking the time to get to know each couple and family that I work with so that I can best create a gallery that fits them. Get ready to fill your walls with images that make you smile for years to come.
