NASHVILLE NEWBORN photographer
Hello, I’m Dolly, and I’m passionate about helping families cherish the delicate, fleeting moments that come with welcoming a newborn. From those tiny fingers and sweet yawns to the quiet joy of a family simply being together, I believe these first memories deserve to be preserved in a way that you’ll treasure forever.
As a mom, I know firsthand how quickly these moments pass. Capturing them in photographs means creating a lasting keepsake of your little one’s first days—memories that will forever hold the love and joy of this special season in your life.
Imagine looking back through an album of your newborn’s earliest days, each photo bringing to life those first smiles, the soft cuddles, and the beauty of your family’s new beginning. These memories grow more precious with time, and they are worth preserving in beautiful, quality photographs.
Every family deserves the gift of capturing these first memories in a way that feels as tender as the moments themselves. I would be so honored to help you document this unforgettable chapter in your family’s story.

After your initial contact form has been processed, we will discuss which package is the best fit for you and your family's newborn portraits.

We had the best experience!! Dolly did family photos and smash cake photos for our son’s 1st birthday. She was so sweet and so patient with us. She booked the studio for us so it was all such an easy experience! Even my husband said it was an enjoyable experience - high praise from a dad!
"We had the best experience.
The photos are BEAUTIFUL."

Dolly has captured some amazing moments for my family through the years! She is extremely professional and made our family sessions a breeze (which isn’t always easy with 3 young kids!!) From newborn sessions and milestones to cake smash shoots and Christmas photos, I’m forever grateful for the beautiful keepsake shots she captured for us. Our photos turn out truly amazing every time! 💗

Dolly is an absolute dream to work with, starting from first contact with her to gallery day! She is incredibly responsive and professional. She actually responded with a personal video she made when I first contacted her, literally within minutes of my email, which was a wonderful touch!

KIND WORDS
from past clients
Every newborn I have the honor to photograph is a reminder of God’s precious handprint on each life, with inherent worth and beauty from the very beginning—even in the womb. This is why I treasure newborn sessions so deeply; they feel like a glimpse of heaven on earth. I see family as a sacred blessing from God, and it’s a privilege to capture these moments of connection, love, and pure joy. Through heartfelt images, I strive to celebrate the sanctity of family, creating lasting memories to be cherished for generations.
I am so honored you are visiting my website and I hope that we can work together to bring your newborn session vision to life! If you are ready to plan out a polished, elevated & peaceful newborn session, fill out my contact form now!

QUESTIONS
I don't want you to share my images, is that okay?
Yes! When I send your contract and questionnaire, I’ll ask if I can share a sneak peek of your session. If you'd prefer to keep your portraits private, just let me know in the contract, and I’ll fully honor that.
You mentioned a permit, what does that mean?
A permit means we’ll check if the location requires one for photography, and if it does, the cost will be added to your bill—I always follow the rules and won’t shoot without permission.
How many images are included in the photo session?
For full family sessions, I typically deliver 60-70 edited images in an online gallery, accessible for a limited time. You'll also receive a photo print release, allowing you to print your portraits anywhere you choose.
Where do your newborn photo prices start at?
Full newborn photography packages begin at $680* however, I do offer 2 different packages
(1 of which includes hair and makeup!)
Will you help my family prep for our newborn session?
Absolutely! I’ll send a family style guide with tips on how to dress and prepare. Plus, I’ll stay in touch leading up to your session, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. *Special Note: for newborn sessions-be extra mindful that these types of sessions take a bit longer because we need to account for feed time, diaper changes, etc.
You mentioned a hair &makeup artist, tell me more about this!
One of the Newborn packages includes a hair and makeup artist. We’ll either arrange for her to come to your home or meet at her studio before the session. I designed this option to help moms feel rested, relaxed, and at ease throughout the entire experience. These images are an investment, and I want every mom to feel radiant and true to herself!
