Family

Mother’s Day is a special day for many families, but I think it can (and should be) an even bigger celebration! As a mom myself, I love a Mother’s Day brunch with my family or a little spa day for myself, but what’s even better (*yes even better than a spa day) is when I get to create new memories with my husband and kids. 

I know other moms feel the same, and that’s why Mother’s Day photo sessions in Nashville are a great way to celebrate the day! Whether it’s a gift to mom or something you plan together as a family, a Mother’s Day photoshoot lets you create new memories and capture them for years to come. 

Especially if you have a newborn or a young baby, you don’t want to add any more chaos in your life! The idea of a family photo session can sound daunting, but an at-home session might be just what you need. 

Your dog isn’t just a pet—they’re part of the family. They’re your adventure buddy, your cuddle companion, and the one who’s always there for you after a long day. So why not capture that love in a way that lasts forever through a photo session with your dog! A professional photo session isn’t just about […]

There’s something so special about capturing the excitement of a growing family, and an at-home pregnancy announcement photo session is the perfect way to do it!

Winter has a magical way of transforming the world into a serene, snow-kissed wonderland—perfect for capturing breathtaking family memories. 

Whether it’s the soft glow of a golden sunset over a frost-covered field or the joyful laughter of little ones bundled up in cozy layers, winter family photos offer a timeless way to celebrate the season. 

If the thought of chilly temps makes you hesitate, don’t worry! With the right preparation (and a little bit of warm cocoa afterward!), you can create stunning, joy-filled images that you’ll cherish for years to come. 

Let’s dive into how to make the most of your winter photo session while keeping the experience stress-free, fun, and, of course, full of warmth!

Your family photos capture cherished memories that deserve to be shown off! Inside your home, they can bring you joy and make your space feel more cozy and put together.  Framing them is always a great first step, but if you’re not sure how to showcase them, these creative photo display ideas can help your […]

When we think about family milestones, we often think of birthdays, anniversaries, and engagements, but there are so many more moments that are perfect for our photo session. I usually take photos of younger families, but I love it when parents want to capture some sweet memories with their older kids as well.  Just recently, […]

The holiday season is one of my favorite times of year to help families create meaningful portraits. It’s a magical time filled with cozy traditions, festive moments, and memories you’ll want to cherish forever. Holiday family photos are the perfect way to celebrate the season, whether you’re capturing the joy of togetherness for your holiday […]

Candid vs. Posed Family Photos: Why You Don’t Have to Choose

When planning your family photo session, deciding between candid and posed photos can feel overwhelming. But the good news? You don’t have to pick just one! Candid photos capture your family’s genuine, unscripted moments—like belly laughs or shared glances—while posed photos offer timeless, polished portraits perfect for framing or holiday cards. As your Nashville family photographer, I blend both styles to create a gallery filled with memories you’ll treasure forever. Whether it’s playful candids or beautifully arranged portraits, every moment will reflect your family’s unique connection and joy.

There’s something truly magical about milestone sessions. This is especially true when they are set in a place as timeless as Cheekwood Estate & Gardens in Nashville. I recently had the pleasure of photographing the sweetest family to celebrate their daughter Nora’s 1st birthday. This Cheekwood Gardens first birthday session was one of the highlights […]
