Family

How cute are they? I always love coming out to their property because there are SO many choices. We ride all over. The kids are getting so big, and they’re fun. Good manners and all. It’s easy taking pictures of all of them! AND see the family picture by the creek? It’s going on the wall. I love when clients order large prints to showcase. Remember your now…because it’s fleeting.

I know this is Fall, y’all, but I am catching up from the holidays when I did absolutely nothing and just rested. These little pumpkins are too cute. I even got a picture of some maternity happenings. So funny. I took pictures at Tammy and Chip’s wedding, so I was so glad to take pictures of the extended family this fall. Some of the sweetest you’ll ever meet!

Nashville, TN Photographer | Newborn Session

Oh, my gosh! How sweet is he? I love doing my lifestyle newborns. In your house. Comfortable. Where you can take a few breaks. This little guy didn’t sleep at all, so we got aaallll his personality. Not to mention big brother, who I so enjoyed. I got a lot of questions about how my camera works and amazing facts about everything. I love working with polite, confident, sweet kids, who aren’t afraid to talk to adults. This little brother is lucky to have James to lead him through life. The whole family was here, including grandparents. Don’t forget everyone in your life needs pictures with you once in a while. This first one is my favorite with those big eyes. Oh, and also those toes, though!!

Swain Family

I’m catching up on my blog posts this week! I have taken a bit of a break, so now it’s time. This sweet family decided to get pictures done for their Christmas cards at my new favorite location. I love this creek. Sometimes it’s dry, and we got lucky. It makes their colors pop, and somehow I feel a beachy vibe. Can there be a more beautiful group of people? :)

Morgan Family

We went creeking with the Morgan family ! I love this background so much, and am so glad they got some large prints to put on the wall. This session was an adventure, from the creek, to the field, to the playground, to getting Smith in a good mood! So fun. Both kids did great, and I love the sassiness. Scroll down to see this sweet family’s fall pictures.

Colson’s Flowers

More flowers! I love this little farm in the heart of Murfreesboro, so when I did sunflower mini sessions, we had to go over to the Black Eyed Susan’s, too. I’ve known this mama for a long time. We went to school together way back when. I love when I get to see how her kids have grown. Sweet family!!!

More Sunflowers!

This family comes to my mini sessions quite often. These kids remind me of my own. Sunny, quirky, and fun! You can tell they have a good time at home. I always laugh the whole way back at the things they said. They obviously can love each other and tease each other. Happiness!

Flowers

So the monsoon that was coming did not deter this little family. I don’t know how she did it, but this mom had four children who followed every direction and didn’t complain one bit…even when we had to take a break to sit in the car. The rain, though! It only said 20%! This little family is too sweet. Look how they are with each other. You can see it. Love! We originally came for the sunflowers, but these black eyed susans stole the show at Sinking Creek Farm.

JM’s Photo Shoot

Oh, my gosh. How cute is he? When his BB asked me to do his pictures, of course I was so excited! This little fellow had so much fun looking for cows and laughing at my brand of humor…which was saying things like, “poopy britches” and “sugar boogers”. I think I laughed just as much as he did! This little family farm was the perfect place. I’d do this again in a heartbeat.

The Pfalmer Family

Meet the Pfalmers. They are a sweet family of three with two dogs, Angel and Rusty. I was so happy when they wanted me to come do a porch session. Quick and no stress! They just stayed at home and I went to them. Nobody had to ride in a hot car or worry about wrinkles, except me. Haha. They moved to their home recently, and I’m glad they got pictures of their new space. Rose was extra talkative this time, which makes for a fun session. She has grown up and matured so much since we first started getting her pictures. It was easy peasy this time around. Scroll down to see, and I can do these as a mini session!

I always do MK’s spring pictures. Such a sweet girl, and this time, the whole family got in! Really everyone needs a family picture each year because things change! We found a dry creek bed that I am now obsessed with, and spread out a quilt. She did such a good job, and is so photogenic. We always have a good time. Now she’s on to middle school! Can’t believe it.

50th Anniversary Edition

Happy anniversary! This session was so special to this family because these two have been married for 50 years! A family of teachers, just like me. I was very impressed with how sweet the kids were and how everyone got along during the photo shoot. It was awesome. We went out to Cedars of Lebanon and took advantage of the barn that’s out there. The kids picked their favorite spots, and we just had a good time.

Snider Family Session

I love this little family! I guess it’s not so little. I was excited when Jan contacted me to do this family session out at Cedars of Lebanon. Big groups are some of my favorites, and I don’t always get to do them when I focus on seniors. We had a great time, and everyone was so photogenic and sweet. I can tell they’re close. This is what it’s all about. I’m so glad they got these memories!

Robinson Family Session

Meet the Robinsons. Haha. Not THOSE Robinsons. I’ve literally been waiting to say that. I have taken this family’s pictures a few times over the years, and I was so glad to do it again. The kids are a little older, and some husbands and kids have been added this time around. The more the merrier, and they did a great job. The weather did not cooperate well on this day, but I do like some clouds. Rain, not so much, but everybody put on a smile and had a great session. We laughed at the kids and fed the goats across the fence. This family loves each other so much, it’s obvious.

Spring Session

These sweeties were so excited about this rabbit! Summer is almost here, so I thought I’d better blog this spring session. I’ve been photographing these three since forever, and love watching them get bigger. They are always so fun and energetic! Scroll down to see some cuties in action.

Spring Portraits

Aw, I love these every year. And I found a barn that I didn’t know was there! Bonus. I love this girl so much. I have been taking her pictures for years, and I even had her in school. I know she’s going to bring her sunglasses and take our annual sassy sunglasses picture, and do everything I ask of her. I always overshoot her session because she is so much fun. Look at that twirly dress. I can’t believe how she is growing. She reminds me of spring! Take a look at her sweet pictures.

The Bundy Family

This family. Look how they love each other. Even the guys who didn’t want to be there were good sports! I’m not mentioning any names. :). Seriously, they will cherish these pictures with the extended family. Look at those smiles; you can’t even tell it was cold. And flooded! This was right after all the rain we had in Nashville and Long Hunter State Park was covered with water. We found a good spot and stayed there! It looks beautiful. So glad we did this, Bundy family!
