Two years ago, I photographed Grace after she completed her bachelor’s degree. This year she asked me to photograph her again, along with four of her friends, because in May they will all be graduating from Vanderbilt’s School of Medicine with their Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology. Could not be prouder of them all!
l have gotten several new clients recently that I'm super thankful for. I knew this sweet family and I would click when I walked into their home and saw all of their beautiful plants and wall art, not to mention the cutest newborn in the world that only started crying when the session was over. Woohoo! And they found me on Reddit. Loved capturing these for them!
This was so much fun!! I had never taken prom pictures before, but when these two asked, I couldn’t say no. We had a blast dodging real live tornadoes (kind of joking, but not really. What is up with the weather in Tennessee, lately??) to get some cute pics before the big dance.
I had the BEST time photographing this neighborhood Halloween block party. There was a catwalk, games, food, movie, and a band. I don't know if it's because I've had a kid, but the older I get, the more I love Halloween. And I don't even participate half the time. There's just something so fun and freeing about seeing people put so much thought and creativity into their costumes. I mean, who doesn't want to be someone else for a day?
It’s graduation season! My little one is graduating this week from pre-k and I’m definitely not ready for it. But this post is not about him Lol. My dear friend Grace graduated from Vanderbilt University, and I had the pleasure of taking her photos recently. The university is just the perfect backdrop with its beautiful buildings and greenery. I know she worked so hard for this, and I couldn’t be more proud to call her my friend. Next stop for her is grad school!
Fall is my favorite time of year! The cooler weather, the changing of the leaves, the layering of clothes, the pumpkin spice lattes; I love it all. It is also my busiest season when it comes to photography. It brings me such joy to catch up with all of my families I haven’t seen all year, as well as meet some new ones. It’s these relationships that keep me going and pursuing what I love. I hope everyone has a wonderful end to 2023, and I look forward to what the new year has in store.
This photoshoot was hard; not because of who I was photographing, but rather the time that has gone by. I have been in and out of the early childhood education field for so long, I taught this kid when he was two years old, and this session was for his senior portraits. I’m going to forgive the fact that he didn’t remember who I was, and that seeing him made me feel extremely old, and say, he is such a cool, sweet and laid-back guy. We met up in downtown Nashville and I learned that he loves music and rock climbing. It was so great to catch up and I know the future is going to be super bright for him.
The first time I photographed the White family was for their first born, Mia, who was turning one at the time. Three and a half years and many moons and photoshoots later, I got to photograph Noah, her little brother, for the exact same milestone. He was so happy and carefree; it made my job very easy. And to watch him devour that cake with wonderment and curiosity, made it even sweeter.
It was a lovely fall evening when I met Brianne and Jeff at Centennial Park for their engagement session. We met at the Sunken Garden within the park and it could not have been a better backdrop that complimented their personalities perfectly. I cannot wait to shoot their wedding at Juniper Green, a gorgeous venue just fifteen minutes outside of downtown Nashville.
For the second year in a row I held my spring mini sessions at one of my favorite locations, East Nashville Greenhouse. There’s just something so ethereal about it. The space is in the backyard of the owners house and was built using recycled doors and windows. It is filled with over 200 plants and succulents and the cutest props. It is ideal for any kind of photoshoot and I will definitely be back again next year.
I had the pleasure of photographing Katie and Alex’s wedding at Two Rivers Mansion last month. It was such a special time at such a magical location. I had never been to the mansion before and was in complete awe of its surroundings. The grounds outside were impeccably kept and the rooms inside were so hauntingly beautiful. I have known Katie for many years now and I was so honored to be apart of this sacred day.
I recently found this great studio space in East Nashville that brings in the most amazing natural light. I used the space for a winter session I had with Alex and her two girls. It might have been cold outside, but there was a lot of love and laughter in that room while we captured some great memories.
