As an experienced Nashville maternity and newborn photographer, I love serving new mothers! As a mother of 3 myself, I get it! I really do! The stress of planning outfits. The mad rush to get everyone ready – then finishing your mascara in the car. The uncertainty of what to do with your photos and […]

As a Nashville area in-home newborn photographer for 10 years, I absolutely love working with growing families! There is a misconception that in-home newborn photo sessions are more casual or editorial in nature. That might be true if you hire a photographer that shoots/edits in a casual or editorial style, but my in-home newborn sessions […]

I don’t like to play “favorites” when it comes to my photo sessions (because I really do love them all), but as a Nashville lifestyle newborn photographer, sometimes I find myself admiring some sessions long after I photographed them.

It’s the fact that Cragfront Historical Home is quite the drive from where I usually shoot in and around Franklin, TN. Truly, this location filled my creative cup as a Maternity Photographer. With its “Secret Garden” […]

With a decade under my belt of photographing new moms, I’ve become an expert at curating […]
