Gorgeous Holiday Cheer Family Photos at The Side Porch

‘Tis the season for holiday cheer and nothing is merrier than a festive batch of Christmas mini sessions at The Side Porch in Gray, Tennessee! This year was a combination of whimsical charm and bright colors. It is always so lovely to create such memorable backdrops for family holiday photos, but this one is definitely a new favorite!

I absolutely adore The Side Porch venue in Johnson City, Tennessee for so many reasons. One of which is the iconic white washed barn that serves as the reception space for so many weddings and also the backdrop for this year’s Christmas sessions. Another is the diversity of photo locations nestled throughout the venue! You could do a session at The Side Porch for every season and still never take the same image twice. Lastly, I love The Side Porch because of the sweet family who owns it. Lucy, Camille, and the rest of the crew are some of the most attentive and caring individuals I have ever met and they truly go above and beyond to make each event perfect.

So as I dreamt up this fun and festive holiday session setup, I kept the big barn doors in mind. I wanted to create something that would match any holiday outfit and pop against the lovely neutral colors. Getting to see the reactions from all the couples and families who came out this year was truly worth the effort! I cherish getting to catch up with my past wedding couples, families who return year after year, and clients who become close friends! It’s what makes my job so fantastic.
