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 […]

Looking for a photographer offering mommy and me mini-sessions this Spring? I’m so thrilled to offer my 3rd annual Motherhood Sessions on May 13th, 2023 in my downtown Franklin studio. For bumps, babies, and beyond! I would love for you to join me at the studio for my annual Motherhood Sessions. Registration will officially open […]

This beautiful, growing family met me at Marcella Vivrette Smith Park for their outdoor maternity photos. This was in late August, so we had the most beautiful greens and warm sunlight which created such a stunning gallery! Why I regret skipping maternity photos Can I share a HUGE regret with you? I did not have […]

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 […]

This beautiful family is a part of my Baby’s First Year Membership. Like most of my clients, they began their membership with a maternity session, which was UH-mazing! They joined me in my studio and I just fell in love with them. Then, baby arrived and oh. my. goodness. I’m just gonna be counting down […]

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. In-home newborn sessions, especially. This particular session was almost exactly one year ago and I can’t […]

Want to know the only disappointment I have as a Franklin TN maternity photographer about this beautiful maternity session? 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” […]

I love a mommy and me photo session! Especially when it involves beautiful, natural light, the sweetest 2 year old, and a gorgeous mommy. These beautiful gals joined me in my studio, just south of Franklin, TN for a sweet mommy and me photo session. Typically, once a year I will host an Instagram giveaway. […]

Almost 2 years ago, I began building a Client Wardrobe to offer my clients. What started with just a handful of women’s dresses has now expanded to over 20 beautiful gowns + a mixture of baby and children’s clothes. With a decade under my belt of photographing new moms, I’ve become an expert at curating […]

This beautiful mama and her girl(s) joined me for the first maternity session in my new studio space. Just after I officially opened in last Spring. It is so amazing to now have this lovely space to serve clients who want the best Nashville maternity photos! I just am blown away by this stunning momma! […]
