The Ballard Family: Nashville, TN Family & Child Photographer

Love these brothers! I cannot believe that so late in November we were able to shoot outside for this session, and that we were able to I meet on the golf course! Ballards - I had a great time with you and wish you the happiest holiday![gallery link="file" columns="4" orderby="title"]

Guitar Baby: Haverly! - Nashville, TN Child & Family Photographer

Meet future rock and roll star: Haverly! These photos are a surprise for Haverly's rock-n-rolling dad! I love being a part of a super fun surprise and I don't even need  an excuse to put an adorable baby in a guitar case!  So, when my friend Amanda told me about this - I was in. We originally thought we would have to do this inside because of the weather, but the day arrived and the weather was gorgeous and the barn was the perfect background. I love it when it all just comes together.  Amanda - I miss you and I hope your husband is as amazed by your detailed planning as I am ( a secret photo shoot is hard to pull off!) and  as  touched by your kind heart as he will be by these photos of your baby boy.

XO JS

Molly & Jack - Nashville, TN Family & Child Photographer

These two were a dream! Jack is the happiest and smiliest 6 month old I have ever met. He didn't mind being plopped into baskets or wearing hats and Molly is girly and sweet and she loves a tutu. And you know how I feel about a girl in a tutu. Molly's mom had told me that Molly might be shy, but when she saw my trunk of girly stuff - we were instantly friends! Thanks to Michael and Jamie for spending a fun Sunday morning with me!

Baby Hayes - Just 7 days

I just don't have enough words to say how much I love these photos. As you can see, baby Hayes is pure perfection. He was oh so sleepy, not fussy at all, and has the most smushiest sweetest face - all my favorite qualities in an infant! I left their house knowing these images were amazing. Beyond. I was so right. Katherine and Robert - Congrats on the newest addition to your family, you have truly been blessed. I feel badly that we did not get the big sister/baby brother shot - but I promise we will next time. I will have  to come up with something McClean could not resist - like her own set of keys! Happy Holidays! JSP[gallery columns="4" orderby="title"]

The Isaacs Family

I love when I walk into a client's home and see my photo's framed in their house. So nice, and so is this family. We met up again for a family session and these little angel faced boys knocked it out of the park again. As soon as Katie sat Henry in the leaves, I knew it was going to be good. And it was. As soon as the camera was on him, lil Henry turned it on. And even Clay, who is not interested in the camera at all was absolutely charming. I am powerless over these boys sweet faces. And Katie and Scott - I really do mean that and I don't tell everyone that their kids are cute. I honestly can't explain why only beautiful families with gorgeous children hire me! It was great seeing you both again and happy holidays! xoxoJSP

Marigny - Nashville, TN Family & Child Photographer

My favorite shoot to date. I think these images are so beautiful, girly, sweet and lovely. I will never get tired of looking at them. Ashley and I are a dangerous combination, in that we had enough ideas to last a few more hours while Marc and Marigny froze to death. We had no idea how cold it had gotten until we started packing up and noticed everyone was shivering! Ashley had great ideas and her styling was perfection. Marigny was a sweetheart and so natural and comfortable in front of the camera. She must have a mommy that takes lots of photos! And Marc hung in there until the end, and I think he actually cheered when we called it a wrap. Ha Ha, he really was great and super photogenic. But have you ever seen a family that the camera loved more? Not me. So please enjoy the loveliness. And Ashley I hope you can find a Holiday card with room for 50 photos![gallery columns="4" orderby="title"]

 

Madelyn: Nashville, TN Family and Child Photographer

Little Madelyn! What a difference the sun and some food can make! The first half of this shoot was cold, rainy and Madelyn was hungry. But a couple days later this doll in pigtails showed up and smiled and laughed like she was having the best time ever. And her little pigtails may be the cutest thing I have ever seen!

The Haynes Family - Nashville Tn Child & Family Photographer

So many sweet ones for this sweet family. And this may be their last photo as a family of 3![gallery columns="4" orderby="title"]

The Derrick Family - Nashville TN Family & Child Photographer

These shots have been so hard not to post earlier, but I try to post in the order I took them! Ben and I went to grade school and high school together, and meeting his wife, Valerie and his son, Will, is one of the coolest parts of why I love what I do...and of course amazing shots like these. We had to bribe Will with blue lollipops and trucks, but it was def worth it. I love the ones where he is just being a little boy and not even worrying about the lady with the big camera trailing around behind him. And the sweet moments I caught of him laying his head on Ben's chest, those are the ones I think they will remember the most. Valerie - I am so glad you found me. I hope you love them.[gallery columns="4" orderby="title"]

Alden is 4 Months Old!

[gallery columns="4" orderby="title"]

This sweet little pumpkin is 4 months old and was a dream to photograph. He smiled and laughed and was just an angel. This was a very early morning shoot and I def think that makes a difference. The baby was happy, his beautiful sister Hannah was so helpful and a complete doll, the light was absolutely gorgeous, and their house smelled like yummy breakfast!  See you again at 6 months!

Beach Session: The Ezell Family

Another beautiful beach session with the Ezell Family. It was hard to edit these because there were so many of my favorite things at work: beach, blue sky, adorable children, wind in the hair, and a super photogenic mom and dad. Looking at these makes me want to get back to the beach![gallery columns="4" orderby="title"]

 

Natalie: Beach Baby

Another sweet beach baby from the Rosemary Beach Sessions. This is Natalie and she was a total doll baby! Enjoy!

Logan - 13 days old

Check out sweet little Logan! Only 13 days old and so, so sweet! This shoot is one of my favorites. I love when the parents give me the go ahead to do whatever I want, this is what happens, and of course you have to have a super cute baby like Logan! Some people may have thought it was odd to put your newborn baby in a platter on the dining room table - but I think the result is awesome and I would hang that photo right in there. Enjoy![gallery columns="4" orderby="title"]

The Duck Family - Nashville, TN Family & Child Photographer

When Katherine and I were discussing locations and props for the photo shoot, she casually mentioned that McLean was a girl on the go. And was she ever! This little pumpkin never stops moving, make that running. This session took place in 2 parts because it was hard to chase her for an hour! Just kidding, but we did meet a second time with the hopes that I could coax her into a tutu or a bucket - but she was not having it. That would slow her down too much! This shoot was so fun and McLean is absolutely adorable. I am in LOVE with their family photos. I am also jealous of how great Katherine looks pregnant. Seriously amazing. Thanks for choosing me to capture this special time before your family of three becomes a family of four. I cannot wait to meet Hayes![gallery columns="2" orderby="title"]

Mamie - 4 Months - Nashville, TN Child Photographer

This sweet little muffin is Mamie. I LOVE her name, and it fits her perfectly. I went to high school with her mommy, Maggie, who is just as beautiful as she was then, And Mamie is just as stunning. Maggie -it was so great to see you, catch up, and meet your precious daughter. I loved seeing your family and I love that your mom offered to make me an egg sandwich. Here is your sneak peek, more to come. See you at Thanksgiving!

WEDDING: George & Amy

Amy and George are one of the most fun couples I’ve worked with. Add to that the fact that they have been SO into photography from the beginning, that just made me even more excited to work with them. We had an awesome time together shooting their engagement session at Centennial Park and Love Circle and their wedding day was no different. It was truly a fabulous experience. So how about some images?

Ethan - 8 Days Old

Sweet. Sweet. Baby.
Ethan is such a perfect little doll. I definitely had baby fever when I left his house! I love these images, and I really think they reflect the sweet and relaxed family they are. Mary, I had so much fun hanging out with you and your new little bundle. I hope to see you again soon![gallery columns="4" orderby="title"]

Cayden - 6 Months

Today was a big day for Cayden! He turned 6 months old, had a photo shoot, and right after that he had to go to the doctor for his 6 month shots! He did great, and I was really glad he did not know what was coming after me! Happy 1/2 birthday! Can't wait to see you again in 3 months!
