Franklin TN Family Photographer | The Hartsfield's {Day in the life}
I have been photographing this family since their oldest was in momma's belly. It's been so fun to capture them as they have grown as a family. Im so blessed with clients who were with me with my old style of photography and have stayed with me into the family film transition.
Hartsfield | September 2021 from Jennie Pyfferoen on Vimeo.
We have done 3 films for this family (one was extended family as well) and Momma just loves the memories they provide. After posting her film to social media, she shared it with the words "photographs only capture so much" - which is so true. I do take photographs during the film sessions too, but film is the primary target.
we had so much fun riding on the golf cart (it would have been fun to have behind the scenes video of me hanging off the side of a golf cart, trying to live and take stable video footage), making stores, and watching this family connect with one another for a few hours. Their bedtime routine was full of giggles and their dinner time had so much fun conversation.
This is the review Lauren (momma) left me on my google page: "
I don’t have enough good things to say about Jennie and her work. I found and fell in love with her work in 2016 when I was pregnant with our first child. She photographed my maternity thru our daughter’s first birthday. At that point she was dabbling in some film so we would be a very short highlight film from our sessions-which I loved! So when she announced she was doing family films in 2018, I knew we had to book one. Our first film was that year when our daughter was a little over a year and a half. Watching that film for the first time was so heartwarming. We were able to do an extended family film in 2020. It is so special to have, and I’m so thankful to have such a beautiful video to share with our children when they are older. We decided to do another family film this year (2021) cause we had added a second child to our family since our first film. To say I was touched is an understatement. I didn’t know if was possible, but Jennie has outdone herself with this film. The dedication and love she puts into her work is something special. She had such an amazing gift to share, and I’m so thankful for her passion. If you have ever had a thought of using Jennie for a film, actually even if you haven’t, just book one. You won’t regret having that season of your life captured, even if it’s messy or chaotic. When you watch it back, you will have tears of joy and mourning (oh how the time flies) and be filled with smiles and thankfulness that such beauty was captured. My heart is so grateful"
While I was filming this family, it felt like a dream. The kids swinging on the swings - the giggles - the joy and love.
When I see a family interacting, I see the moments as memories, as precious snippets of time. The time we were on the golf cart was as amazing as it looks in the film (I was able to fully create that moment well) to show you how precious that time was. Mac, little brother, was obsessed with geese and repeated the word GEESE GEESE throughout the ride. Big sister - I just loved watching her enjoy catching the wind in her hair and she was just pure joy on that golf cart. These children don't even know they are living moments they will hold dear in their hearts forever, and now those moments are in the film. For them to later see and recall. It's too precious for words.
They're going to remember their daddy spinning them in blankets before bed, they will remember their momma's voice reading them a book by the fire. It makes me cry - and Im not in their family.

Spring Hill TN Family Photographer | Summer Fun
I spent a few hours with this crew to capture their summer. It was already hot, even in early May. But it was so fun. They connect so easily with their children. When I am photographing a family, I try to capture each parent with each kiddo, to isolate that specific connection within a family unit. My favorite images were one on one - because they had such a deep intimacy to them.
If you have ever studied artists, such as Picasso and Van Gogh, you know that they went through phases in their work. I find that this happens to photographers too. When my babies were little, I LOVED baby photography (still do) but as they grew, my work found its way into family photography, motherhood photography, and capturing childhood. My favorite images right now are truly candid family moments and mothers with their children. They speak to me and through me and I love it. Its such a special gift, to give mothers the moments they see, and even moments they may not see.
I want to capture your life not for you for right now, but more for the you in 20, 40, 60 years. And not just for you, but for your children. I want to freeze your family’s journey right now and let you have it forever. I’m not just the photographer. I’m the memory mentor in your family.
Nashville Child Photographer | Quill's 3 Year Old Garden Shoot
Quill is 3! I remember photographing her back when I had a newborn portrait studio in Nashville. Quill is all spunk and was born on the bathroom floor by accident. She will make an amazing female adult, but in the meantime, makes for a fun child to parent ;) she is my best friend's daughter and we wanted to capture her in her true form. Quill loves her chickens and garden. She and her momma garden together almost daily on their homestead. This day was SO incredibly hot, the most I had sweat all summer. But it was a blast chasing Quilly Loo around!

Nashville Baby Photographer | Harper's Musical Lifestyle Session
I have truly enjoyed working with Jacky, capturing her pregnancy and her newborn baby girl, Harper! We had so much fun and I just love making a session personable, using the home's environment to tie in the uniqueness of that particular family. Since Jacky is a singer, she had lots of creative aspects to her home that matched this part of her heart. I know she will treasure these images for years to come!

Nashville Child Photographer | Addison 18 Months
Addison is growing so fast, we had a blast letting her play in the water! She may not be a baby any longer, but I can still some baby-isms left. I hope she keeps a few for just a bit. Babies don't keep! I designed her whole session. I love coming up with a vision and seeing it come to life. At the end, she gave us some of those sweet moments, sucking her thumb. Those moments, will be missed!

Nashville Baby Photographer | Miles
Miles was awake all night the night before his shoot, and luckily that meant he was super tired for his session with me! (sorry mom and dad!). I loved all his hair and he has the most angelic little face! We captured him amazingly, and I love this new little family!

Miles' Film Rocks!

Nashville Baby Photographer | Rowan's 6 Month Studio Session
Rowan is sweet as can be! with cheeks that make you wanna eat a baby! We had such fun capturing this fast developing little boy's six month session. He's already working on crawling. He's just trying to keep up with his two big brothers, Im sure! His mommy brought in some rustic toys and they were a perfect addition to the images. Its so nice to add in subtle props that don't overpower the image. In this case, it really brought out the vintage feel!

Nashville Baby Photographer | Hallie's Newborn Session
Hallie is an absolutely beautiful baby girl. She has the most precious little features. I loved working with this family in their home. Lifestyle sessions are so sweet and calm. The parents have a decently easy morning getting ready, and don't have to leave the home. I like having a lot of images of mom, dad, and baby together - to show their connection and the emotion that comes with a newborn. I know these parents will cherish these photos for a lifetime.

Here is a video I created documenting Hallie as a newborn.

Nashville Family Photographer | Conner Family
The Conner's just moved here from California. Im so honored they hired me to capture their family this year. We did a lot of prep work for this session and it turned out amazingly! The days leading up to the shoot made us nervous. It was supposed to rain - which it did. But it was going to be very cloudy the day of the session and the main rain threat was that afternoon, so we spontaneously moved the session from sunset to 10 am and boy did it turn out! At the end, a storm began to blow in and we got some really fun shots with leaves blowing all around. It was truly magical. However, that was the last time we had rain and now we are in a drought! So crazy!

Thank you, Katie, for choosing ME!

Nashville Baby Photographer | Caroline's Sink Bath
I have had this vision forever. And having a vision is like having an itch you cannot scratch. My lovely clients LOVE my outside work, and so its hard to talk a mom into an indoor shoot. But it can be so fun and different. For Caroline, I could not wait to do a sink bath shoot for her. And what gorgeousness! She has the most beautiful face and eyes. She has such innocence in her eyes, and you can truly see her soul.

Nashville Baby Photographer | Addison's 12 Month Session
Baby Addison is ONE! I cant believe it! She's got so much sweet sass. And I feel like her thoughts are a dry humor. She gives us some fun looks. Her personality is so big! She made me belly laugh so much. I cant wait to see her at 18 and 24 months!

Nashville Family Photographer | Perkinson's at the Carnival
Ive been photographing this crew now for nearly THREE years. So were fairly comfortable with one another. When I threw out the insane idea of shooting at the fair, Christine was all over it. So, we did! and it was such a blast. I love how the images turned out. I was on the carousel with them, riding backwards, and shooting. What a fun adventure ! I got off and was a tad dizzy. There was a lot of laughter and chaos, but it was really great. I hope to shoot there again!

Nashville Baby And Family Photographer | Sebastian is 1!
Sebastian is beyond adorable. I love his little lips and how he pushes them out. The weather was perfect for July and we had such fun photographing this little guy's milestone.

Nashville Child Photographer | A boy and Dirt
Greyson LOVES dirt. He i literally always dirty. Ive wanted to capture Greyson (my own 4 year old) playing in dirt for a long time. He is such a nature lover. His heart is so big and he loves all insects and animals. He loves collecting bugs and observing them. Im going to miss this stage, where he's so imaginative (He will always be imaginative Im sure) and playful and just enjoys all things nature. Im so glad Im able to capture this time, as we know it goes all to quickly. I bought these super cool Green pants at Mini boden - I love this store! Check out these fun shots we got in a quick shoot before the rain the other night.Warmly,
Nashville Baby & Child Photographer | Wyatt's 1 Year Session
Wyatt was such a HAM for his session. He also showed me his fussy side, but it was a great shoot regardless! He gave me so many expressions, and I loved capturing all of them for his momma to look back on. My favorite shots are never the "smiling at the camera" shots. They are always the angle that shows his double chin, or her squished nose. They're the messy true personality shots, that are candid, raw and draw emotion.

Nashville Child Photographer | Ava 3 Years
Ava is a gem. She loves having her photos taken. She is pure joy! Ava melts my heart over and over, and when a child loves me, I do not take that for granted. I love having special bonds with children. Ive always been drawn to them. Im always learning more and more about their little personalities. Its such a fun time, photographing a child. I try to bring out the inner child and their own little personality. Ava is a sweet gentle girl! Look how sweet her images are....

Nashville Child Photographer | Lane's fun 18 month session
I have been honored to photograph this baby since he was in his mommy's tummy. I adore Lane, he's so fun and sweet and such a chunk! He's growing too quickly. I love this age, they just have such fun manipulating objects (like a wagon or bucket) and they are so into exploring. I love capturing that! My main goal was to capture Lane's boyish adventurous side - I think it worked!

Amos is so adventurous, He's so brave and unafraid. I loved watching him explore! Boys are so fun to photograph, and they all love sticks and rocks and water (and to be naked!)

Baby Penelope is three months old! She's so sweet and smiley. I love shooting babies in their home where they are comfortable, in natural light. Lifestyle images are pure magic, such fun candid shots. I can't wait to see her at six months! And to get outside for the first time during her First Year Journey sessions!
