Danielle's Cades Cove Maternity Session

The lovely Danielle and her family came in all the way from Florida to have her maternity session in the serene Smoky Mountains, down in Cades Cove. Since they were flying in just for the weekend for these pictures, I was super worried about the weather! Our original date ended up being rained out, but luckily, they were able to change up their plans to be here on a beautiful, sunny day. The weather in the Smokies can be so hit or miss, I always try to leave room for re-schedules for my out-of-town clients; there's nothing worse than missing out on your pictures because Mother Nature had other plans!

Danielle borrowed a few gowns from my maternity closet, the Krysten and the Joselyn. She rocked both! I don't think there's a single gown in my closet she couldn't have pulled off. They complimented her sweet bump perfectly. 

Here's some of my favorite maternity pictures from her session.

Knoxville Urban Maternity Session

I'm so thrilled to share Ashley and Nathan's downtown Knoxville maternity session with you all! Ashley looked AMAZING in the maternity gowns she wore so well by Sew Trendy Accessories. These two were fabulous and so easy to work with, and just great together. Trust me, you'll see their chemistry in some of my favorite images. 

We spent the evening wandering through downtown in the 40 degree weather ( although you wouldn't know it looking at Ashley's pictures; she was a trooper!). There are so great urban spots in Knoxville to choose from. 

Maternity Gowns

Ashley wore two of the gorgeous maternity gowns available to my clients for their maternity sessions, both the Samantha and Celine gowns from Sew Trendy. They accentuated her natural beauty and showed off her bump perfectly. 

These might just be on my all-time favorite picture list; they're so incredibly beautiful.

The Ellis Family

Say hello to this awesome couple! They're expecting their first little one this month; I can't wait to meet her in a few weeks. 

Kelsey suggested a lifestyle session at her Knoxville home, and of course, I was thrilled to oblige. I ADORE Knoxville lifestyle sessions, and when one comes my way, I'm one happy photographer. Posed portraits are great, but I also love a healthy mix of candid, beautiful in-between moments. 

Lifestyle Maternity Pictures Outdoors

The Ellises have a beautiful yard, with stunning light during golden hour, and we took full advantage. We started with some cute outdoor maternity poses that highlighted what a cute couple they are. What better place to start than the front porch?

A maternity session is complete without a cute belly shot. 

This one is a fabulous example of that beautiful light I was talking about. It makes Kelsey glow even more. 

Maternity Pictures with Fur Babies

The Ellises dogs are a huge part of their life, so of course we wanted to include them in a couple of shots. Even though they were SUPER excited to meet me, we managed to get a few really cute puppy pictures ( there might have been some bribing with treats, *wink, wink*). That smile on her face says it all <3.

Lifestyle Photography Indoors

To round off our session, we stepped inside their lovely home, and took a few indoor lifestyle portraits. Their darling nursery and kitchen made the perfect backdrop!

I hope you enjoyed these highlights!
