A moment in the mountains with Kylah’s Radiance ✨

Oh, Kylah. This girl is the definition of radiant. Her tight curls bounce with every step, and her gentle spirit just radiates kindness. She’s sweet, she’s caring, and honestly—she makes you feel like you’ve known her forever the second you start talking. She’s a cheerleader at Gibbs High School, a loyal UT fan (blah, I know, y’all know I’m an LSU girl through and through 😅), and truly one of the best listeners I’ve ever met. She’s got such a wise head on her shoulders, already setting up her college life perfectly. This girl is playing it smart, and I cannot wait to see where she goes. Her light is so, so bright.

We headed out to Gatlinburg for her session, and it was one for the books. Imagine this: no cell signal, wading through the water like pros, stumbling across a giant bear track (I’m talking HUGE), and then—out of nowhere—the most stunning floral growing in the middle of the river. Like… how does that even happen?! It felt like we were walking straight into a storybook.

And let me just say… we started before the sun even came up. Yep, early morning session. It was actually chilly (which I was NOT prepared for), but oh my goodness, it was worth it. The light, the atmosphere, the adventure—it all matched Kylah’s radiant energy so perfectly.

Kylah, I know your future is going to be incredible. You are going to do big things, and I feel so lucky I got to capture this season of your life. You shine, girl. Don’t ever dim that light.
