Meet Jana and Kayla! These girls are budding photographers just getting started in the biz like myself. They drove in from Kingsport, TN  so that I could take some shots of them for their new website (www.kmphotography.info)! Kayla and I go way back to our college days at ETSU in Johnson City. We were both elementary education majors and ended up in most of the same classes. This included a “Storytelling” class that taught all about the art of Storytelling. Ugh! I will never forget the torture of that class. I’m a huge goofball in front of kids. Heck, I’m practically a kid myself; but get me in front of my peers and ask me to dance and sing and you won’t be impressed. The more Kayla and I got to know one another, the more we realize we were EXACTLY alike. I could give you the exhaustive list of our similarities (that would almost scare you) but I’ll spare you. You’re welcome. Kayla loves to teach (and my guess is really good at it) but has found her love for photography to be really strong and is pursuing  this new hobby and growing it into a beautiful business! She is well on her way and full of passion to fuel her love!

The girls met me at the Knoxville Center Mall; which is full of more mall walkers than shoppers. This gave us lots of space and freedom to take a couple “fashion shots”, as she called them! Shopping bags in tow, we took full advantage of the place. After hitting up a local park we ended up having lunch at Litton’s in Foutain City. If  you haven’t experienced Litton’s let me be the first to tell you, it is a Knoxville tourist MUST! Although I was raised on their Thunder Road burger and amazing sugar cookies, I refuse to consider myself a biased critic when I say “BEST RESTAURANT IN TOWN”! Big claim, big truth! Enjoy a little laughter and lightheartedness with Kayla and Jana! Also, check them out on the Facebook fan page! By clicking here —> facebook.com/knoxvillephotos
