I’m a Nashville-based milestone family and newborn photographer with a passion for serving mamas and providing families with timeless and
classic portraits.
I deeply value the beauty of the family unit and see it as a profound blessing from God. Capturing moments of connection, love, and joy is at the core of my work. Through heartfelt and joyful images, I strive to highlight the sacredness of family, creating lasting memories that will be cherished for generations.

I grew up between India and Montana, experiencing two distinct cultures that shaped my view of the world. As someone who is half Indian, I treasure the richness and beauty of both heritages. After marrying my husband, who opened my eyes to the goodness of God in new ways, I also discovered the beauty of a strong, faithful family unit.
The pillars of my life were my grandmothers and my home church, both of which poured wisdom, love, and faith into me, shaping the woman I am today. Their influence instilled in me a deep appreciation for the value of a steady, godly family unit.
It’s a privilege to work with families who want to capture meaningful moments their children will cherish for years to come. One of my greatest goals is to raise my own children to taste and see the goodness of the Lord. And in every interaction with my clients, I strive to reflect that same sweetness—creating not only beautiful portraits but also joyful, meaningful experiences.

I believe the family unit is a gift from God, something to be treasured and celebrated.
My journey with photography began in 2006 when my grandparents gave me a camera as a college graduation gift. At the time, I had no idea that this thoughtful gift would change the course of my life! Now, I find immense joy in serving others through the craft and skill of photography.
Every part of my process is intentional. I take the time to understand your vision for your family session and earn your trust, ensuring you feel comfortable and cared for throughout the experience.
My style is joyful, colorful, vibrant, and full of life. I’m inspired by film and passionate about creating meaningful art through photography.
It is truly an honor to capture your family’s milestone and newborn moments, preserving memories that you and your children will cherish for a lifetime!
IT's NICE TO MEET YOU

Dolly has captured our family over the past few years, every year knocking it out of the park. She makes you feel comfortable and relaxed when taking photos doesn’t always feel that way. She is fantastic at capturing sweet moments and smiles even when your toddler isn’t corporating! I absolutely love being able to look at these photos throughout the years and will continue to choose Dolly for future bookings. It is well worth the investment!

I keep my process as streamlined and organized as possible. As a mom, I understand how hectic life can be, so I’ve built a smooth, efficient booking system. Since I typically book 2-3 months in advance, I encourage planning ahead if you'd like to work with me.
my PROCESS
My journey began in 2006 when my grandparents gifted me my first camera. I never imagined that gift would lead me to becoming a full-time photographer in 2018. It’s been a long road, filled with valuable lessons, and I’m grateful for every step.
my JOURNEY
My photography style is joyful, vibrant, and colorful. I edit to emulate a film look because I believe portraits are an art form and I love creating timeless portraits.
