Featured Senior - Kyla

I would not trade living in a small town for anything! I went to school with Kyla's family, photographed her sister, and could not wait for the opportunity to photograph her senior portraits for her. Besides being beautiful, Kyla is a sweet girl, that really treats her mom with a lot of respect. That always impresses me!  I am sure she will do well in her future endeavors.

Featured Senior - Sarah

I have known Sarah and her twin sister Hannah for a long time now. Another story of living in a small town with good people. Sarah is such a sweet, down to earth person with great musical talents. Her Ultimate Senior Session  was a blast.

Featured Senior - Hannah

Hannah has a twin, but they are very different girls. Both sweet, both beautiful, but each has a different style. Hannah's Ultimate Senior Session at Hardgrave Photography included styles from camo to business dress and all in between.

Featured 2013 Senior - Autumn

I love a challenge, and Autumn challenged me to create images that were not typical "senior pictures".


Autumn's session was very unique in that we did some moving around the county to get the images she wanted. First we made a trip out to Annie's Chapel, an old church that I was married in, and had been used only for community gatherings about once a year, for the past 50 years. This is such a neat old historical building. Then we photographed in a cemetery here in Knoxville, and finally in the studio. Autumn is such an interesting person - and into learning the Asian culture and languages. Autumn's parents Bob and Becky Anderson are proud of her graduating from the Arkansas Math, Science, and Art School in Hot Springs, Arkansas.

Lillian & Special Things

One thing I love, is when babies and children come with special props - things that are hand made just for them are the best. Lillian's Great Grandpa built her this cedar changing table top before she was even born, so we wanted to incorporate it into her photos.
Lillian is so lucky to have a big family that adores her and loves her. If every child had this much love, wouldn't we have a perfect world?

Liam - Welcome Back Baby at Hardgrave Photography

We love babies at Hardgrave Photography. What is even greater than photographing babies their first year is seeing them grow up, seeing their families grow and change, and seeing young parents become so much wiser than I think I ever was.  We decided to welcome all of our past Baby Steps Program participants that are having new babies in 2013 back with a free Baby Plan on us.  This way, we get to see our past babies too.
I was so excited when I realized Liam, was the baby brother of two of the cutest babies I had photographed before, and the son of one of the sweetest mommas I have worked with.  I am looking forward to seeing this little boy grow this next year!
