Nashville Family Photographer | 5 Reasons to get a family film
- To remember your children in the season they are in now. But it is not just about remembering your children, it’s also about your children’s memories as they grow.
2. You deserve to be in the frame too. Someone has to be behind the camera, and as a result, someone is missing from the family album and family movies. I’m giving you the ability to slow down and connect as a family. To unplug and reset. I will show you the moments that you didn’t even know you needed to see.
3. Your film becomes the thing that you treasure most.
4. Your film feels like stepping into a memory of your family's story as you are right now. A time capsule for you to treasure forever.
5. You never know what tomorrow holds. We are not promised forever. and at the end of our lives, we will not wish for more money or things, we will wish for more time. When our loved ones pass, we hold on to them through photos and videos.
Franklin, Tennessee Family Photographer | The Bakirtzis Family
Spending an occasional morning filming or photographing families has been one of my greatest honors. I just feel SO at peace capturing them and discovering their story. How they interact, how they show love. What their favorite memories are. All of it makes me immensely happy. I know that I am truly doing what I was called to do. I spent years doing more trendy photography work before I discovered this. There is nothing that a family can do that I am going to judge. I am here to capture your story, whether its a perfectly kept home or a complete mess... whether its organized chaos or sweet daughters who gleefully sit on your laps, I am HERE for it.The Bakirtzis family was such fun to capture. I really hope they hire me for a film in 2023. They just have the sweetest interactions and strong love for one another. (I know I could say that of all my clients, but still... each family is unique and I never tire of it!)Y'all are gonna die over this baby's cuteness ... BTW.Dying to book a session? Contact me here! I would love to chat!
Nashville, Tennessee Family Photographer | The Martin Family
I got to spend a morning with The Martin Family at their Nashville RV site. This family began full time RVing across the country a few years ago. They homeschool or "roadschool" their two children and get to spend a lot of time together seeing so many cool places! They have such an amazing story to tell from adopting two children, separately, to now being a full time rv family. You can follow their journey over on Instagram.As someone who loves leaving the rat race behind as much as possible ... I was absolutely thrilled when they asked me to film their family. We took our first RV trip out west last summer and I fell in LOVE! I would totally RV full time if my husband's job was remote! It is so freeing. and we already homeschool :)We captured their favorite book that talks about what it was like to adopt these two precious boys. The book was titled "When God Found Us You" . We videoed a lot of laughter and fun with legos. and then they hopped on their gator and rode to the back of their property. It was an absolutely beautiful day for December! (ps. this post contains affiliate links).I really hope you enjoy this very unique family film! Their photos and video both came out beautiful!

Nashville, Tennessee Family Photographer | The Hygge Family
I was blessed to spend a few hours capturing The Hygge Family. The coolest thing about this family is... they changed their last name to match the lifestyle they wished to lead! Hygge is a word in Danish and Norwegian that describes a mood of coziness and "comfortable conviviality" with feelings of wellness and contentment. We practice this in the winter. I have found that when we disengage from cultural expectations that we can be lead to do things that feel more organic and right for us. Our family becomes cozy and snuggly in the winter. We step back from going to all the things and start to be home more. We rest more, play games, and just enjoy less hustle. It's pure bliss. 10/10 Recommend!
The Hygge's were amazing. They have a cozy home they have remodeled on their own. It is simple and cozy which is my favorite! (How many times can I write the word cozy in one blog!)...

I really loved witnessing how they love on their infant son everyday... capturing their real moments and raw motherhood. It was an absolute favorite session! They also have 3 dogs that I was able to get a really good photo of! Check it out:
Franklin Tennessee Newborn Photographer | The Carlson Family
Spending the morning with The Carlson Family was just the BEST! I was able to capture their maternity session not long ago and now I get to photograph them with their precious new baby! They are so completely smitten with her, and you can see why! She is such a beauty. She looks a lot like dad (and his red curls are TO DIE FOR!). I love witnessing this transition in life from couple to parenthood, its so beautiful. I know they will have many sunny day strolls and dinners together, loving on their new baby. I am sure her family will lavish in watching her grow into the beautiful child she will become. Im sure they will sing many songs to her and rock her many nights ... these years are so fleeting. They feel long, but they are just a blip!
Nashville Family Photographer | The Nicholson Family Film
I am unsure if I say this about every family film I create, but this film is so friggen good. Its a favorite - I just love how the song and the story weaves together to tell this romantic soulful story of this family and how they interact regularly. The laughter takes that story and overflows it with love.Their photography and videography session was simple and easy. They simply played together. It was their typical Saturday. What a simple and yet profound gift to have this on video!We had beautiful fall weather in Chattanooga, where they live in Tennessee. The sun was perfect... as you can see.I hope when their girls are grown, they will watch this together occasionally and feel love soar through them. I hope it brings so many memories back for them. And I hope they can sit down with their own children one day and let their children watch their mothers as children.... how cool would that be?It is an honor and an enormous blessing to make these films for families. If you want to book one or get more information, contact me.

Franklin Tennessee Family Photographer | The Bruno Family Film
When Jessica reached out to me, she vocalized her concerns over having a film for her family. She has an older son with autism, and was worried how it would turn out. She felt comforted that I had an early childhood education degree and a bachelor's in developmental psychology and specialized in autism. She knew I could roll with it well.I am so glad she took the chance, because their film is SO amazing. I was so emotional during our shoot because I just felt such a deep love flowing from this child's parents towards their son. I was also able to capture him saying words and I felt like I had hit the lottery when at one point, he made eye contact with me.I had so much fun filming them at their home in Franklin, Tennessee and then riding with them to a nearby creek. Their son LOVED the water and it was so beautiful watching them play together.I pray they cherish this film forever. That their son will be able to watch this later and I pray he can feel what it shows.... their deep love and devotion to he and his brother.Filming families is BEYOND my biggest joy! (Aside from my own children). I would LOVE to chat with you about filming your family!See more films on my instagram!

Franklin Tennessee Family Photographer | The Roberts Family
THIS FAMILY, ya'll! The last time I had a session with them (Film + Photos)... they BLEW IT OUT THE WATER. Well of course, they rocked this one too. SUCH a beautiful meaningful session.Alan, the father, really wanted to capture his time working on his Jeep with his 3 sons. This Jeep and this time with his boys means a lot to him. and I mean... A LOT. The way Alan interacts with his children brings me to tears. And after 2 sessions, he sings my praises a lot - and that means the world to me!This family centers around all things music. Their film also had video of them dancing and playing guitar. They come alive when they are dancing and singing. It truly is the coolest thing. and I am 100% here for it.
