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 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"]

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?

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!

Cooper - 1 Year

Happy Birthday Cooper! This little guy just turned 1 , so we met up to capture his sweetness and also get some shots with his brother and sister! I think Cooper looks like a porcelain doll with those big brown eyes and his sweet smile melted my heart!  This shoot was really fun and we even got to take a dip in the creek![gallery columns="4" orderby="title"]

Nolan - 1 year

Happy 1st Birthday to sweet lil Nolan. This little guy is all boy and did not shed a tear during the shoot even when he fell down in the rocks! He was not sure about smiling for me at first, but mom and dad worked hard singing all his favorite songs and I think we captured the sweetest side of Nolan. Happy Bday Nolan. I hope to see you again soon![gallery columns="4" orderby="title"]

Clay (2 years) and Henry (6 months)

These precious boys completely stole my heart. Both were so sweet to me the whole time I poked a big black camera in their faces for an hour! As a mommy of two boys, I know how difficult it is to get a "brothers" shot, especially at this age! But I think we pulled it off! I hope to see ya'll again soon![gallery columns="4" orderby="title"]

Gia - 9 days old

Get ready for the complete girly cuteness of 9 day old Gia. Her mom loves tutu's, big flower headbands and pink - so we hit it off right away! Her dad was the best photography assistant I have ever had - seriously, he just gets it! I am in love with these photos. Gia - you were a complete doll and I can't wait to see you again in 3 months![gallery columns="4" orderby="title"]

Baby William - One Week

Meet baby William. He's only 7 days old and 6 pounds! Definitely my tiniest client! This shoot went so well and not just because William is a well behaved baby who slept for most of the shoot, but his parents are the greatest and their house was so well decorated - I had a lot to work with! I am in love with their family photo on the bed; they look like Babrbie, Ken and baby. Just perfection. Congrats to Megan and Kyle and thanks for letting me capture your precious baby.[gallery columns="4" orderby="title"]
