Although we had a rainy day for this year’s spring mini-sessions at the East Nashville Greenhouse, I still had the most wonderful time. Thankfully, our sessions were inside the Greenhouse so we could stay nice and dry! I’m so happy that I got to meet and work with the five families that came for my first set of mini sessions this year. Thank you to each of you for coming and being a part of these beautiful sessions. This year, I even had families come all the way from Chattanooga, TN, for their mini-session!! Seriously, it was an honor to be the reason they came to Nashville.
For our spring sessions this year, I chose the East Nashville Greenhouse for our sessions. I absolutely LOVE this spot here in Nashville (see another branding session that took place here!), and I hope it will become a yearly spring tradition. Honestly, with all of the gorgeous plants around us, how could these final images not be beautiful?! Even the kids who were there loved it. With fun places to sit and pillows, it was absolutely cozy and so much fun for them, too!
Thank you again to all of the wonderful families that came to spend the day with me. Mini sessions are always a great time – and such a win-win for families! You get new photos in a fun location without a lot of stress because our session is short and to the point! And when the location is as beautiful as this one, what more could you ask for? Today, I’m sharing a sneak peek into these spring mini-sessions here in Nashville, and I hope you love them as much as I do!!!

If you’re considering spring family photos in Nashville, Tennessee, and you want them to take place at The East Nashville Greenhouse, I would love to work with you!
{Please note: East Nashville Greenhouse ONLY offers FULL sessions; they no longer allow minis as of 2025, but we can still rent that beautiful space for your FULL family session}
A well-prepared session allows you to slow down, enjoy your family, and walk away with images that feel true to who you are right now.
I have also announced my SPRING Minis for this year (or if you are reading this and it is another season), you can still bookmark this page because it is where I announce all of my minis in Franklin, TN, and Nashville, TN. Either way, here are the dates I am offering for Spring Minis.
Or you can also get on my email list and be notified when these open too (and receive a free styling guide for your family photography session whenever you join)!
