I met up with the Blanton family for a winter golden hour maternity session at the Knoxville Botanical Gardens here in Knoxville, Tennessee. I first met the Blanton's at my sunflower minis, and I guess we had so much fun because they hired me for their maternity session (and then their newborn session and more family photos!)
I love the Knoxville Botanical Gardens, because it still looks gorgeous in the winter!
