Knoxville Moms, I have a gift for you!
Hey y’all, my name is Kendall Shields and I am a senior student at The University of Tennessee. Throughout my 4 years at UT, I have been lucky enough to have been mentored by some amazing women in the Knoxville area, many of whom have had young children. Therefore, I have gotten to see first-hand, how hard it can be to schedule those girlfriend lunch-dates, coffee chats, women’s bible studies, or even just a few hours alone to get some work done with those cute little distractions by your side.
I would love nothing more than to lift this burden for you, Mom! I am offering my childcare services, free of charge, in order to open up space for those life-giving conversations and restful reunions you deserve.
A little bit about me!
- I am from Austin, TX, and may still have a slight allegiance to my longhorns (oops!)
- I just finished up my swimming career at UTK, so let me know if your kiddos could use some swimming lessons this spring!
- I have many years of experience in KIDS ministry at my local churches and have spent countless hours babysitting some dear family and friends.
- I am graduating in May with a degree in Management and Data Analytics, and will be getting married in October!
If you are interested, the best way to reach me is either via text or email. I am available between 11am and 2pm on weekdays and on weekends. I look forward to introducing myself more formally as well as meeting your little ones soon :).

As a Professional Photo Manager, my goal is to help people with large photo collections create a lasting legacy for their loved ones and future generations. I understand that managing a large photo collection can be overwhelming and time-consuming, which is why I’m here to help.
When working with clients, I typically start by understanding their goals and priorities for their photo collection. This includes discussing how they want to organize and preserve their photos, as well as any specific memories or stories they want to highlight. From there, I work with them to create a customized plan that meets their needs and fits their budget.
Depending on the client’s needs, my services can include:
• Sorting and organizing photos: This involves reviewing the collection to identify duplicates, blurry or low-quality images, and organizing them into logical groups based on themes or events.
• Digitizing photos: If a client has a collection of physical photos, I can digitize them to make them easily accessible and shareable.
• Creating albums and memory books: I can help clients create beautiful photo albums or memory books that tell the story of their family history and memories.
• Backup and preservation: I work with clients to ensure their photos are safely backed up and stored, so they can be enjoyed for generations to come.
Overall, my goal is to take the stress and overwhelm out of managing a large photo collection, and help my clients leave a meaningful legacy for their loved ones.
