I loved getting to work with the Mullins again on another newborn session for their family! I worked with them in 2019 when they welcomed their first son, Micah. It’s so special to be able to work with families as they grow and welcome more babies to the world. Meeting their new daughter, Madeline, was extra special because I have such sweet memories of working with them a few years ago. Reggie and Caroline are the BEST parents and it’s clear how much they love their babies. We photographed their Nashville lifestyle newborn session in their new home. Like Micah’s portraits, our session was just joyful and so much fun! Their nursery for Madeline is gorgeous, by the way! Look at that incredible green wall. I’m obsessed with the choice and all of the soft details they paired it with for their baby girl. She’s going to love that space as she gets older, for sure! While we were photographing the family, Caroline and I got to talk and catch up about her pregnancy. She was telling me that this one was a bit easier for her, and I was so happy to hear that for her! Congratulations again to the beautiful Mullins family! I’m so happy for these four. I can’t wait to watch Madeline and Micah’s relationship grow – and I know that Caroline and Reggie can’t wait either. Enjoy a little look into their lifestyle session!
