TEMeet Houston Vandergriff, a photographer from Knoxville, Tennessee. Houston was born with Down syndrome, which can make speech challenging, but that has led him to find his voice through the lens of a camera. He travels the world with his family, capturing incredible moments in places like New York City, Egypt, Quito, and London.
But no matter how far they go, there’s no place quite like Tennessee.
For the Vandergriff family, Tennessee State Parks offer a unique combination of accessibility and natural beauty. From paddling adventures to quiet hiking trails, our state parks give Houston and his family a place to explore, connect, and create.
