One of my former bride’s Emily [see her photos on my old blog here— I can’t believe it’s been 3 years since this couple’s wedding!] contacted me asking if I knew of any family photographers around Gatlinburg because her family was taking a trip and wanted to surprise their parents with a big group session. I was not helpful and did not know of any in the area. BUT I had been meaning to visit some friends in Knoxville, so I offered to come down and take them and make a mini-vacation out of the shoot. It worked out so well and was a great present from all the kids to their parents for Mother’s/Father’s Day:)
