As I wrap up an incredible fall and holiday season, my heart is overflowing with gratitude. This year, 160 amazing families trusted me — Taryn Yager from Taryn Yager Photography — to capture their memories over the last five (very busy!) weeks. Every single session means the world to me, and I’m still pinching myself that this is my job… and my dream come true. From the golden leaves at Anchor Park and Concord Park – The Cove, to the magical evergreens at Bluebird Christmas Tree Farm, every location was filled with laughter, silliness, and sweet family snuggles. We celebrated Christmas inside my cozy Farragut photography studio, and made magical holiday portraits among the timeless beauty of The Bleak House. What a season! While Mother Nature likes to keep us guessing each fall (hello, rain clouds!), thank you for your patience and flexibility through weather reschedules. You showed up with smiles, festive outfits, and the best spirits — even when I was checking the radar for the 10th time in an hour.
⸻ Watching Your Families Grow — My Favorite Part One of the greatest joys of being a Knoxville family and newborn photographer is seeing your children grow year after year. I love reminiscing about your little ones who are now running circles around us, those new babies who became big siblings, and the families who have become dear friends. Your trust in me? It means everything. ⸻ Thank You for Supporting My Small Business Your sessions don’t just create beautiful artwork — they keep this family-owned Knoxville photography business thriving. Because of you: I get to do what I love every single day. My boys get to see their mama building something meaningful. I get to continue welcoming new families into the TYP community. Thank you for cheering for me, booking early, sharing your images, referring your friends, and keeping this dream alive. I am so, so grateful.
Now that Christmas minis are officially wrapped for the year… I might just take a tiny nap. Just a quick one.
But if you know me, you know I’ll already be excited when planning begins for 2026 — new setups, fresh ideas, and more magical memories to come. ⸻ What’s Next? Although mini sessions are done for the season, I am still shooting: Newborn photography in my professional Farragut studio, Studio family milestone sessions, Cake smash celebrations for your growing babies.
It’s been a truly incredible 2025 — and I cannot wait to see what’s ahead! ⸻ From the bottom of my heart — thank you for choosing Taryn Yager Photography, supporting this Knoxville mama of four, and trusting me to capture your love and legacy. Here’s to rest, joy, and a beautiful new year of memories to come.
With all my gratitude, Taryn
