My name is Wendy Ivens, and I am a wife, mother of 4, and late bloomer photographer. It was just a few years ago that my husband bought me a very nice second hand camera and I found myself absolutely hooked! I wore my family out taking photos of every event, every little cute thing they did (and they are so cute that it meant a LOT of photos!). So I just had to take this passion to a new level. I wanted to find out everything I could about lighting, composition, shutter speed, apertures, ISO...well, you get the picture. I want to get great images in the camera, not just in post processing. And I love to capture moments that people will treasure for years to come. An expression, an intimate moment, a child's first days on this earth...the world is full of those moments just waiting to be frozen in time by the images I see through my lens. During shoots, I like to keep things casual and lots of fun. You can get some great smiles that way!

I love photographing children and families, but I often photograph events such as weddings, parties, showers, and reunions. I am located in East Tennessee, having worked from Kingsport to Knoxville. Contact me for details and pricing info.
