2013 Mini Christmas Sessions

I am so thankful for the families I have been able to work with this year! The Morgan and Jennings families are two of the best. And a big congratulations to the Morgan's as they have a sweet girly bundle headed their way very soon. Maybe I should introduce them to the Jennings family as I think they know a thing or two about little girls by now. Speaking of little girls...these are quite possible two of the cutest little girls ever. I think I could compose an entire post of the many faces of Jewel (the oldest of the two). She is priceless. Not only did she keep me on my toes but laughing as well. Love that girl. 

Tyler's Senior Session

On an unseasonably cold Fall morning this young man crawled out of the bed to spend some time with me in front of the camera. I was told he had more fun during our shoot than on others he has participated in before...well, I certainly had fun! I got to spend some time with a curious colt, some friendly pups, a barn full of surprises and one of the sweetest high school seniors in the area.

Thanks to Tyler and his fantastic mom for sharing your time with me!!

Fall Mini Session Preview - Book Your Christmas Sessions Now!

I had the pleasure of sharing a lovely fall afternoon with some lovies for an afternoon of mini sessions. Be sure to book a session for the November 9th Christmas Session! They are filling up!

Hicks + Hardy

This year I had the pleasure of kicking my Fall off with a lovely couple on one of the most perfect Fall days in the mountains of East Tennessee. It really is such an honor for me to share in such special moments with couples like Laura and Jason. I am continually reminded of how much of a softy/romantic I am when I capture things like their "first look" or their first kiss and touching toasts shared by friends and family...the list just goes on and I remind myself to push the shutter button no matter the tears that may or may not be welling up in my eyes.

Thank you again to Laura and Jason for allowing me to share in their moments!

Mini session fun!

Hello friends! It is that time of year. My favorite time of year! What better way to celebrate Fall than with some individual or family photos? 

I am currently booking mini sessions for the months of October and November. The November dates will be more focused on photos for your holiday greeting cards. If you are in Knoxville, meet me at the Knoxville Botanical Gardens for the October Session. Please email (alisonmcquainphotography@gmail.com) or facebook me to schedule your time or get answers to any questions you might have. You better hurry! There is only so much time in a day!

Sweet Addison Harb

I cannot express how much of a joy it is to continue sharing moments with others throughout major stages of their life. Last week I was able to do that with Amanda and Richard Harb. You may remember their pre-Addison session; they now have the most lovely little bundle. Many congratulations to Amanda and Richard!

I love their other child too. He is one happy pup. 

The proud grandmothers. Addison's middle name is Kelli...after both of her grandmothers.
