Just a few favorites of Lesly at the beautiful Bleak House.

Abbie & Jon were my first couple to end their wedding reception with a hearty rendition of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin'” Trust me, you’ll know which photo I’m talking about when you see it. That song should happen more often at weddings. This couple’s downtown Knoxville wedding at the Foundry at the Fair Site was full of heart & I’m so happy I was a part of it.

Y’all, things have been crazy around here lately! This is definitely the busiest I’ve ever been with photography & it’s wonderful! Unfortunately that means my blog has been a little inactive. I’m trying to change that, but we’ll see. In case you are wondering, I update my Facebook fan page more often :)

I have a whiteboard beside my desk that has a list of everywhere I’ve been featured on the internet. I always intend to write about where I’ve been published, but I haven’t. Now’s the time. I want to clean that list off my dang white board!

– YAY! I received an Honorable Mention in the Brenizer Method Contest. I was pretty sure I had no chance at all, so this is crazy! I love the work of ALL the judges- hoorah!

-Moment Junkie! I’ve been featured a few times since I last mentioned it- the Elation, the Mom & the Mirror, the Pound, & the Confetti Back!

-Josh & Mai-Li’s Smokey Mountain Wedding was featured on Comely Day

-Far West China, one of my favorite travel blogs, chose my travel photo for Xinjiang Pic of the Week!

-Jessica & Will’s lovely garden wedding is over on DIY Bride!

Thanks for reading! I promise to be a better blogger… :)
