The Knoxville Zoo

Last fall, I had the unique opportunity to tour the Knoxville Zoo with a group of photographers before the zoo opened to the public for the day. We were led by zoo staff to share information about the animals and facility in general while having the whole place to ourselves to snap away as we pleased. It was an amazing time to go because the zoo had just welcomed two baby gorillas that were on display. With welcoming summer this week, I thought it was a perfect time to share some of these zoo pictures. Check out some of my favorite shots from the day below.
