My Real Promise to you is that, as your photographer, I will capture moments in time that you will cherish forever. We will laugh, dance, and have a great ol' time... whatever it takes to get some killer portraits you will want to stare at forever.

First Birthday | Hendersonville TN Child Photographer

Monday, November 7th, 2011

There is something about my baby planners.  I love seeing them as a tiny squishy newborn and at the end of their first year as a one year old toddler.  There is also something about Fall.  The breathtaking colors, the leaves scattered around, the smell in the air.  Put these two together and you’ve got magic!  Baby (or Big Boy, now!) A is turning ONE on Thursday.  To celebrate, we captured some photos of him exploring and showing off his standing skills.  You may remember him from this family session in Hermitage or from this gorgeous backlit photograph this past summer.

Doesn’t he look like a little man?

I was also able to bring out my antique high chair for some shots.  Look how well the colors pop together.  The wood and the bright colored leaves draw me in!

 What would a first birthday be without some balloons?  Luckily we had some amazingly warm-ish fall weather and was able to do a cake smash session in the woods.
We joked around afterwards that A is one lucky one year old to be able to eat cake and play with balloons half naked in the woods. :)

Happy First Birthday, A!  I look forward to watching you grow over the years.

Dream |Nashville Child Photographer

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

As one of my baby planners, I have the pleasure of seeing this wonderful family throughout the year.  This past week, we did a shoot and this was one of the last images we shot, right as the sun was setting.  Not my normal shooting look but oh how I loved it and really felt in a dream with the gorgeous lighting and feel of this image.  Stay tuned for more from this session!

Milestones | Nashville Newborn Photographer

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

This weekend I had the pleasure of traveling to Hermitage to the perfect outdoor location at my client’s home.  The weather was gorgeous and it was nice and warm with a cool breeze.  I could smell Spring in the air.

This is the first of a series of shoots to show the baby’s milestones.  I present to you his “I can push myself up!” shoot!  I know his parents are biting their nails waiting for this sneak peek so here you go!  See you soon for his next milestone photo shoot of him sitting!

Adoration | Nashville Family Child Photographer

Friday, December 3rd, 2010

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of meeting Heidi Foreste, better known as Mrs. F to her online followers.  Heidi manages a popular blog that is dedicated to being a stay at home mom and also the home to some fabulous giveaways!

I met Heidi and Hubbs (as he’s affectionately known as online) and their beautiful offspring Gianna on the campus of Vanderbilt University, where Hubbs is in Law School.  We had a great time playing around and snapping some gorgeous photos of this stunning family.  Doesn’t this family look like they stepped straight out of a Gap ad?

This family just oozes with love for each other.  The adoration these two parents show Gianna is enough to melt even the hardest heart!

Sentiments | Hendersonville TN Maternity Child Photographer

Monday, September 6th, 2010

On Saturday, I had the joy of photographing David and Emily and their beautiful daughter Riley.  David and Emily are welcoming their second child, a boy.  I was super stoked that when Emily contacted me, she knew exactly where she wanted to shoot… on her parent’s land.  It was perfect and so sentimental.  We worked in the pines that were planted when Emily was a baby, and a blanket from Emily’s childhood.  I love the little details that go into a photo shoot!

We got so many great pictures that I couldn’t narrow it down to my normal 2-3 so I stopped myself at 5!  Enjoy your teaser!

Addy | Hendersonville TN Child Photographer

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

After rescheduling a shoot due to winds, I finally had the chance to meet up with the M Family for Addy’s 1 Year Portraits. What fun we had! Addy is one of the happiest 1 year olds I’ve ever met. She was incredibly smiley the entire time and would just clap and smile. What a joy she is! B and K are lucky parents.

Despite the hot weather, we were able to capture so many good shots. It was hard to choose which ones to showcase on my blogsite.

I hope you enjoy your Sneak Peek!

My Family | Nashville Hendersonville TN Photographer

Sunday, May 9th, 2010

My parents came up to Raleigh and spent the day with us.  Well, year-round schools had a Saturday snow make up day today so I spent the afternoon with them.  We ate a nice lunch together, and then Mom and I took Mia with us shopping.  I was in search of something to wear to an upcoming wedding.  I was also supposed to have an afternoon photoshoot but the wind was a little too strong for pictures late afternoon.  We had to reschedule those for later in the week but the good news was I got to eat supper with my parents before they headed back home.

While Elaina was napping, we had a small impromptu shoot in the front yard.  My parents moved into a new house on Christmas Eve 2009 and my mom is determined to get some photos of her family, especially granddaughters, up on the wall.  Elaina’s pictures will have to come later since she snoozed right through it.

In honor of Mother’s Day tomorrow, I thought I’d post a few photos of those that I love.

My mother and my firstborn that made me a mother.  These two are two peas in a pod.  It’s scary.

Now, for my wonderful and supportive husband and Mia.

I hope to snap a few of Elaina tomorrow after church. I’ll report back because it wouldn’t be Mother’s Day without both of my girls!

Family Fun | Nashville Portrait Photographer

Friday, May 7th, 2010

The B Family contacted me requesting a family shoot and a couple of pictures for Hudson’s first birthday.  I was happy to oblige.

That afternoon was a scorcher!  We had to bump our shoot back a few hours in hopes the heat knocked off a little and it did!  We even had a little breeze.  Talk about lucky!

The B Family is so laid back and genuine.  You can see the love and the boys are *super* adorable!  It took a while for Nolan to warm up to me but with a little time and coaxing, he was all smiles.

Enjoy your sneak peek! :)

3 Months | Hendersonville TN Baby Photographer

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

This past weekend, I got to meet up with the G Family again to take Mr. O’s 3 Month portraits.  You may remember him from this adorable newborn. It’s amazing how fast little ones grow in just 3 short months!

The G Family have purchased a Baby Plan so you will see much more of Mr. O in months to come.  I’m so excited that they chose me to capture the memories.

It was so incredibly hot during this shoot.  Since the natural light coming through the sliding doors wasn’t enough, we took this session outside and we worked up a sweat!  We also found that O enjoys being outdoors (and naked!).  We worked on grabbing some pictures of him trying to hold his head up and some of the family.  Perfect for this shoot!

G Family, thank you for always making me laugh and keeping me entertained!  Who knows?  Maybe I’ll have one of you working for me one of these days! ;-)

I’m Live! :)

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

Well, it’s official.  My blog is going “live.”  I’ve been putting it off simply because I still have some minor tweaks I need to make (a new header, etc) but I’m okay with that for now.  I hope you will all bookmark my new site and follow me! :)   In honor of my new blogsite, I thought I’d repost a few older pictures from sessions from my old blog (and I’ll throw in a few new ones, too!).  I hope you enjoy! :)

I just love the classic look of this one! I get many people asking where they can find a simple white dress like this for pictures. It’s a Remember Nyugen dress and I adore it!
