A LITTLE
ABOUT ME

LOVE WHAT YOU DO
AND YOU'LL NEVER WORK A DAY IN YOUR LIFE

Why I do what I do? I absolutely LOVE photography. Every aspect of photography….. from meeting new people, taking photos at a photoshoot, getting kids to smile and show their personality, right down to the editing. I am patient with kids, have the stamina of a marathon runner…well I like to think so anyways and I might just bungie jump off a cliff to get the perfect shot….might 🙂 I work in Maryville, TN and the surrounding areas. 

MY PASSION

I am Ilyin the owner and photographer behind Ilyin Mapp Photography. I studied in Graphic Design and a few years after college found a camera and fell in love. I am self-taught and I strive to keep learning new techniques and perfecting my craft. I have taken courses for newborn safety which is very important to me. I am a portrait photographer and love to photograph Maternity, Newborns, Children, Families and Professional Head shots. I am married to my wonderful and supportive husband Claude and we have a baby boy…..ok he isn’t a baby any more but a toddler. Time has flown by and that’s one of the reasons I take a lot of photos. I want to record as many as my child’s memories as I can especially since he is young. I love when clients allow me to be a part of their lives for a brief time to take photos for them.
