Cloudy Cove Lake Maternity Session | Knoxville Maternity Photographer

There’s something extra magical about maternity sessions in the summer — especially when the skies are overcast and the scenery is lush and green. This June maternity session at Cove Lake State Park in Caryville, Tennessee was one for the books!

Meet Julie Ann & Justin

Julie Ann and Justin are expecting their first child, and the excitement they feel about becoming parents is undeniable. From the moment we started the session, I could feel the joy and anticipation between them. They’re not just preparing for this baby — they’re dreaming about a full, happy home filled with children in the years to come.

A June Maternity Session at Cove Lake State Park

The weather was cloudy and had soft even light. The sun did decide to peek out by the water for a few minutes though, and we got a couple golden hour pictures. We explored the scenic trails, peaceful waterfront views, and wide-open spaces that make Cove Lake such a perfect location for maternity photos. Julie Ann’s glow (even under those moody skies) was the kind photographers dream of, and Justin was beaming with pride by her side.

Why I Love Capturing First-Time Parents

Sessions like this remind me how special it is to capture the beginning of a family’s story. Whether you’re a Knoxville local or just visiting East Tennessee, Cove Lake offers such a serene and natural backdrop for preserving these fleeting moments.
