Nashville Baby Photographer | Vera 3 Months Old

Baby Vera. This session was awesome. We captured some lifestyle and documentary photography for this family, their first session as a family because of Covid. What I loved about this session, was feeling the way they loved Vera, how confident they felt as parents, and how I could feel their connection not only in the images, but during the session. We photographed longer than normal, because the baby was in such a great mood. She had an honest blow out, so bath photos also occurred hahahaha!At the end of the session, I was packing up to leave when from upstairs, dad calls “this might make a good photo!” - so I did what any amazing loving photographer would do and I unpack my gear and head up.He was bouncing his baby girl to sleep on this ball. Mom watched as I photographed it. I described how it would have felt to have this moment on video rather than just photo and tears came to her eyes.This session wasn’t a film session but we will do one soon. I’m so glad she has photos of this moment. It makes me feel a sense of happiness and stillness, seeing him bounce his baby girl. One day, she won’t need bouncing to fall asleep. This moment was fleeting.Here is the email reply that momma sent me after seeing the gallery:"Jennie- I’m in tears. You are so perfect with capturing our family. I love Love love the photos and your work. You’re a true talent. It was so great to meet you and have you as a part of our journey. Tom and I are still discussing future sessions and considering a video as well. We will absolutely be in touch- you have customers for life with us. Thank you!!! "

Franklin Baby Photographer | Welcoming Noah

I recently photographed this family, welcoming their second boy into the world. I captured some of their typical day right now, in the rough part of life; adjusting to two kids.

Mothers spend so much of their day nursing. Im so glad we captured this time in their lives.

I watched Mallory and her family adjust to the new baby as the oldest was seeking attention - as he goes from being the only child to sharing his parents.

I remember this time when I welcomed my second son into my life. So I could relate on a deep level. It was the saddest and happiest days of my life. My oldest felt confused about how much I loved him and I also wanted to soak up the time with my newest baby.

Some family time, reading and snuggling. and then all on his own, big brother wanted to hold his baby.

When I arrived, as is common, the house was a tad chaotic. Momma was flustered, older brother was acting out of sorts. The baby was probably crying or nursing. And Dad was just trying to keep things from falling apart.

But if you hire a professional photographer, you don't realize you're getting more than someone who can take photos and make a video. You're getting a doula, friend, and comforter - all in one. Mallory even said at one point "you have such a calm about you"

See, when I saw mom flustered. I simply said it was fine. and not to worry. and that all would calm down. and so it did. When they realize that just because family members are not 100%, that the session would not fail as a result. most of the time, that settles things down.

More nursing, because #hunger

I loved capturing this for this family. Photographing and filming families and newborn babies.

Warmly,
