My Favorite Chattanooga Maternity Session Locations

I was recently asked what my favorite thing about Chattanooga is and immediately thought, “That’s a tough question.” After thinking for bit, I realized it was all the beautiful locations Chattanooga has to offer, from mountain views to a scenic city front, there are so many Chattanooga photography session options. But, if I had to put a list of favorites together, this is my list:

MOUNTAIN OVERLOOKS

CHILHOWEE OVERLOOK - THE OCOEE AREA, RIGHT OUTSIDE OF CHATTANOOGA IS FULL OF NATURAL BEAUTY, BUT NONE MORE THAT THIS AMAZING OVERLOOK. WITH 360 VIEWS OF THE MOUNTAINS, LAKES, AND JUST MINUTES FROM THE OCOEE RIVER, THIS BEAUTIFUL SPOT IS PERFECT FOR A MAGICAL SUNSET. IT’S A BIT OF A DRIVE, BUT THERE IS NO HIKE INVOLVED.

POINT PARK - THIS BEAUTIFUL PARK ON LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN IS THE BEST WAY TO SEE ALL OF CHATTANOOGA IN ONE SPOT. WITH SCENIC CITY AND VALLEY OVERLOOKS, THIS PARK IS AN EXCELLENT WAY TO GET VIEWS WITHOUT THE HIKE. IT’S ALSO ONE OF THE BEST SPOTS IN THE CITY TO WATCH THE SUNSET.

SNOOPER’S ROCK - THIS GREAT MOUNTAIN OVERLOOK IS LOCATED IN PRENTICE COOPER NATURE CENTER, AND FEATURES BEAUTIFUL 360 VIEWS OF THE TENNESSEE RIVER VALLEY AND MOUNTAINS. THIS SPOT IS MAGICAL AT SUNRISE, IF YOU CAN BRAVE THE BUMPY DRIVE IN THE DARK!

Flower Farms

Depending on the time of year, our area offers some beautiful flower farm options. From sunflowers and lavender to zinnias and greenery, this is a fun way to add color and life to your photos.

CITY SIGHTS

COOLIDGE/RENAISSANCE PARK - FROM THE NORTH SHORE SIDE OF THE RIVER, YOU CAN GET ALL OF CHATTANOOGA’S SKYLINE IN ONE AMAZING IMAGE. FROM THE ICONIC WALNUT STREET BRIDGE TO THE NATURE TRAILS OF RENAISSANCE PARK THERE IS SO MUCH TO OFFER ON THIS SIDE OF THE CITY. IT’S ALSO A BEAUTIFUL SPOT TO WATCH THE SUN RISE AND SET.

BLUFF VIEW / AQUARIUM - THE DOWNTOWN SIDE OF THE RIVERFRONT IS JUST A BEAUTIFUL. WITH THE HUNTER MUSEUM OVERLOOK TO ROSS’S LANDING, THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF BEAUTIFUL VIEWS AND INTERESTING DOWNTOWN ELEMENTS.

NATURE PARKS

REFLECTION RIDING NATURE CENTER - ONE OF CHATTANOOGA’S HIDDEN GEMS, THIS BEAUTIFUL NATURE CENTER HAS SO MUCH TO OFFER. WITH MOUNTAIN VIEWS, RIVER ACCESS, A MAGICAL TREE HOUSE, WILDFLOWERS, AND A POND, THERE ARE PLENTY OF PRETTY SPOTS DURING ANY SEASON.

GREENWAY FARMS - THIS LARGE PARK HAS A LOT TO OFFER AS WELL. FEATURING A RUSTIC CABIN, DOCK ON THE CREEK, AND BEAUTIFUL GRASS FIELDS.

This is just a small list of everything Chattanooga has to offer and I love photographing at new places, so I always encourage my clients to pick a spot that is sentimental to them. Please email for more information about our maternity sessions.
