As a Nashville photographer who has been capturing portraits since 2018, I have had the joy of photographing sessions all over Middle Tennessee. But somehow Belmont University had never made it onto my list, even though I have lived in Nashville since 2007. So when Lauren reached out about her college graduation photos at Belmont […]

As a Nashville motherhood and family photographer, I hear the same thing from mamas over and over again: “I am always the one taking the photos. I am never in them.” If that sounds familiar, this post is for you. I am Dolly DeLong, a Nashville-based family photographer, and every spring I set aside a […]

This sweet summer session at Ellington Agricultural Center was filled with sunshine, laughter, and the most precious moments between Anna Claire, Damian, and their 15-month-old daughter, Daisy. From a tree-lined path with a white fence to a quiet spot near the water, every part of their session captured the gentle joy of this season in their lives. If you’ve been dreaming of light-filled, natural portraits that feel like you, these Ellington Agricultural Center photos might be the perfect inspiration.

Looking for natural and joyful family photography poses? Explore fun, movement-based ideas that help capture genuine connection, cuddles, laughter, and those perfectly imperfect moments your family will treasure for years to come.

Spring is the perfect season to refresh your family photos with soft light, blooming landscapes, and natural connection. Discover what to wear, how to prepare, and how to make the most of your spring family photos for a relaxed and meaningful session.

Every now and then, a session comes along that feels extra special—not just because of the photos themselves, but because of the people in front of the camera. That’s exactly how I felt during this recent motherhood studio session with my friend and fellow photographer, Grace Paul. Grace has played such an important role in […]

When people think about family photos, their minds often go straight to the holidays—Christmas cards, Easter outfits, or fall leaves as a backdrop. And don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love holiday sessions! But there are so many other beautiful, meaningful milestones that deserve to be documented, and they often go overlooked. As a Nashville […]

Nashville is full of charming spots that make the perfect backdrop for family photos. Whether you’re capturing your little ones’ giggles or a family milestone, there are so many beautiful places in Music City to consider.  As a Nashville family photographer, I love to help families find the perfect location to reflect their personality and […]

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. 

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 […]
