the question | erica & jared {knoxville, tn}

I am crazy thrilled to share this session with you all! Erica and I go WAY back…well, not really WAY (lets not age ourselves or anything) but we tended to hang out and “work together” during our Information Management courses at good ole University of Tennessee! I swear…I don’t think I would have made it through those classes without Erica! Lol!! So when she got in contact with me about having her session here in Knoxville and wanting ME to shoot it, I just about died!!! I might have secretly been FB stalking Erica and when I saw she was engaged I might have done a fun little dance to celebrate for her! 🙂 She’s all the way out in Cordova, TN so I never in a 100 years would have thought I would get an email from her…but I most certainly did! Yay!!!!

Fast forward to Erica telling me that she and Jared would like to have their pictures at…dun dun dun…Neyland Stadium!!! SCORE!!! :huh, no pun intended on that one: I was elated, but nervous. You just never know with the stadium! Sometimes you can get in, sometimes, theres just no such luck. I won’t give my source away (bc I don’t want him to get in trouble), but my dad would be so proud of me by just walking up to someone and asking him to let us in. My heart raced, especially when he told me I only had 3-5 minutes…Whoa! Here is the magic that happened!! 😀

Ok, so I’m happy I’m not the only one that was CRAZY excited!!!

 My FAV!!!!

Our 5 min was up FAST! But, we still had the rest of campus to tromp around on! I love this session so much! Erica and Jared were so awesome…and their puppers were pretty stinking cute too! 

Yes, that is a Rottweiler and a Dotson. Too funny, I know!

Ahhhh Erica & Jared! I know your wedding will be absolutely STUNNING and tons of fun!!!! I can’t wait to see pictures!

Jack’s UT Session

What better way to celebrate UT’s first home football game than with the littlest Volunteer fan?? Jack and his parents are AWESOME Volunteer fans! And coincidentally, Jack’s birthday will probably always fall on the first football weekend for UT! Coincidence?? Maybe…or maybe Carla and Tony planned it that way! 🙂 Jack may be a future football star or maybe just a future VOLUNTEER, but either way, I know UT will have a big place in his life!

I absolutely love any chance I get to see this incredibly adorable family! So when I tossed the idea of a stadium session, I was so happy they jumped on board! Our goal was to be in the stadium, up in the seats, but we have come to find out that is a hit or miss with Neyland Stadium. Next time, we will make it happen! BUT who else can say they have had their pics in the halls of Neyland?? We were so stoked to get out of the crazy East TN heat for a few minutes and chow down on some cheerios!

And since it is the first home TN game for the 2012-2013 season, lets hear a resounding GBO!!

  How perfect is this picture??

Love love this family!!! 

If you are interested in a session down on campus, make sure to book soon for the amazing fall colors! I would LOVE to do a session right in the middle of a BIG UT Home game…can’t you imagine? An adorable couple kissing in the crazy crowd of tail-gating UT Fan’s????
