Nashville Maternity Photographer | Sarabeth.

 Sarabeth. You radiate beauty! What a glowing pregnant woman she is. We had such a great time photographing her pregnancy. It was a tad chilly, but she was game and preferred to do it outside.Not too many Men are excited to have photographs done. So, to remedy this, I keep the couple shots at 20 mins of the shoot. That way, the men know they can tolerate 20 mins and then they are done. They are happy and keeping my clients happy is my main goal!I love having a wardrobe for my clients to use. I provide many dresses for maternity shoots. I also provided the flower crown that Sarabeth wore. I love helping a woman feel good in her pregnant body. Our bodies were meant to do this and its just amazing!At the end of our cold shoot, 3 pigs showed up to my house. They lingered from a nearby farm. It was HILARIOUS. They were sweet and gentle and stayed away from us. But since I had my camera out, I snapped a shot of them (see below).XOXOWarmly,   

Nashville Award-Winning Maternity Photographer | Heather

We had such lovely weather for Heather's session. It was a tad cold, but the light was beautiful. We had such fun with dresses and exploring. I photographed Heather's first pregnancy and first year with her son and now she is having a girl! What an honor to photograph the journey for this awesome family! I can't wait to experience this next year!

It was a tad chilly, but we had tons of fun photographing Lauren's glowing pregnancy. She doesn't know the gender, and I cant wait to see if its a boy or a girl. It will be so fun to watch them turn into parents and meet this little person!

I love providing wardrobe for my maternity clients. I have many dresses to choose from. They all fit so well, on ANY client!

Nashville Maternity Photographer | Anna's 2nd Maternity Session

Anna and Dale are so fun during their sessions! We always have a blast. Their little boy is almost 2 and kills me with cuteness! Their sweet girl Magnolia is on her way into the world (soon I hope!) and I cannot WAIT to meet her! Anna rocked the water photos, she loves all things nature. The weather was seriously amazing for their session, the weather this summer has been incredibly unpredictable. we have had so many storms and heat, more so than normal. April this year, I had SO many reschedules, it was insane, because we had so much COLD. I could have shot more in the winter than April and Summer because it was so warm! Im nervous about this Fall. Be on the lookout for Magnolia Newborn photos soon!Warmly,     

Nashville Maternity Photography | Jennifer's Water Session

Jennifer and I had such a blast with the water. She wanted water in her photos somehow, and Im so glad, because these are just so gorgeous! She is stunning in her Free People (LOVE!) dress and I had some dresses and things for her as well. We really had so much fun. At the end her comments were that she felt like it took 5 minutes and was way less stressful and more fun that she had anticipated. Music to my ears! She has the smallest bump ever, and she is all belly!  I have several sessions at this location and cannot wait to blog them all. What a fun find!Warmly,       

Nashville Maternity Photographer | Malary's Sunset Session

The weather was so amazing for Mal's shoot. It was sunny and not a cloud in the sky! We had so much fun capturing Malary's bump for baby #3! Rowan. I cannot believe I have captured THREE pregnancies for Malary! I cannot wait to capture another baby boy for her. Wyatt and Sawyer are going to be awesome big brothers and Im sure this little guy will be the toughest one of all. Thank you Malary, for choosing me every single time! I love you girl!

Nashville Maternity Photographer | Kacey's Baby Bump

Turns out, bringing your own hair stylist to a session, is the BEST idea ever! My client, Kacey, brought her hairstylist, Ashley to her session. BRILLIANT idea! Even Kacey's husband kept saying "worth every penny"Of course, I may have used Ashley slightly, I mean, how often do I get to have an assistant at my disposal? So, I may have asked her to hold a dress or help a few times :) She was AWESOME and I think, she kind of enjoyed it!We had such fun being in the creek and playing in the purple trees for Kacey's maternity session. She is simply gorgeous and is radiant while carrying that precious cargo! I can't wait to meet Parker, very soon!We were so lucky to have such great weather this day, as it has been a brutally cold spring here in Nashville! and windy!Warmly,      

Nashville Maternity Photographer | Mary's Maternity

I loved meeting Mary. It was the weekend of the big January snow! I was glad to be able to drive to her, the roads were pretty good. We had such fun in her home, photographing her glowing belly. Her drive way is on a hill, so I Put my emergency brake on when I parked. When I left, I reversed out and could not go anywhere in the slush! Mary's husband and dad got me going, giving me a good push! But then her husband, ran down the road to tell me my back tires were not spinning. He asked me to look at my dash and see if it said something. Sure enough, I had left my emergency brake on. Sure can't wait to see him again so he can tease me Im sure! Im such a ding dong!Warmly,

Nashville Maternity Photographer | Audrey

I have been working with a videographer on my new promo video. Im so excited! Audrey was gracious enough to be a model for me during this. I couldn't have dreamed her up if I would have tried! Her red hair with my planned green dress! Gah! She's gorgeous!

3 Reasons to get your bump captured!

#1 You only get to be pregnant with this baby for a short time.

It's going to go by so fast and you hardly even get to process the reality of it all. Only later, will you look back and cherish it more fully! Having photos to look back on will be something precious to you.

#2 Your child will want to see what you looked like pregnant!

Especially if you have a daughter, she will want to look back at what her own mother looked like when she was pregnant with her. She might want to compare how your belly looked to how hers looked someday!

#3 There are no guarantees in life.

Okay, I hesitated for this one, but it's too true to not share. As much as I never speak this over pregnant mothers, you never know how this pregnancy will end. Obviously, the majority of the time, it's a healthy baby at home. But if it's not? This may be the only way to capture this pregnancy and time with your baby. After having friends lose their babies and sister who had a still birth, this is too important to not put as a reason for maternity photos.

Nashville Maternity Photographer | Ashton's Golden Glow Session

Meeting Ashton for her maternity session was such a joyful experience. We had so much to chat about and she just radiated pure joy. The weather for December was so warm, and the light was amazing (I may have squealed a few times). I cannot wait to meet her baby boy in 2016!Warmly,    

Nashville Maternity Photographer | Pamela's Fiery Sunset Session

The light was AMAZING the night of Pam's Maternity shoot. The sky was on fire, and so were Pam and I! We had such fun creating art from her special bump. Its a special type of session, photographing a woman in her glowing pregnancy. I LOVE shooting babies, but its so fun to pose adults for these sessions and to be able to take the time to take many different angles, and know that they will stand still. tehehe. Whereas, babies MOVE a lot! and you get what you can get most times :) I can't wait to meet Pam's baby in January!xoxoWarmly,      

Nashville Maternity Photographer | Christine's Fall Maternity Session

Wave had such gorgeous weather this fall. Its been warm enough to let clients wear some more minimal type clothing and not totally freeze :)My clients and I had many laughs and such fun at their maternity session - we always have a blast together! I will have seen them three times between October and December, with a baby on the way, their 2 year session for their daughter and the newborn session in December. I can't wait to do another year of portraits for them. Best. Clients. EVER.xoxoWarmly,       

Nashville Maternity Photographer | Tara's Sunset Maternity Session

I looove sunflare. Any client who has heard me squeal during a shoot in response to perfect sun flare, knows how much I love it. This shoot was so much fun, I squealed the entire time.

How do I always get the most gorgeous maternity clients? Not only that, but I get clients like Leslie, who drove all the way from Kentucky. We had such fun and I can't wait to meet her sweet baby!Warmly,  

Nashville Maternity Photographer | Betty.

Betty and I had so much fun photographing her maternity session! We were sweating like crazy (She was a sweating Betty HA) but I loved every minute. I love that she was a fan of putting a tutu on her (sounds crazier than it looks). Betty is sweet and let me do whatever I want. I hope she cherishes these images forever.xoxoWarmly,      

Nashville Maternity Photographer | Traci's Studio Maternity Session

Im BEYOND thrilled to be able to offer Nashville studio maternity - especially for my winter clients :) The images can be as intimate as some of Traci's or they can be more modest. We can make anything work. I have a studio in Nashville that offers some pretty amazing light! Thank you  Traci, for letting me capture your pregnancy!Warmly,      

Nashville Maternity Photographer | Jina's Flower Field Session

Sweet Jina, was the most fun person to photograph. She and I laughed the entire time. I love her quirky and bubbly personality. She had total faith in me - which always leads to the best sessions. When clients trust me, I can let my creativity flow and when it flows, we get some really amazing results! Jina is having a baby girl in September and I can't wait to meet her! Thank you Jina, for sweating it out with me! Just remember, "I don't sweat, I sparkle!"Warmly,      

Nashville Maternity Portrait Photographer | Barbara's barefoot session

Meeting Barbara in Nashville for a maternity session at sunset was pure heaven. I immediately fell in love with her laid back personality and spunky character :) We had so much fun! I love how confident she felt in her pregnancy body, a rarity these days! My favorite part, was at the end - she said she had felt so comfortable during the shoot and that it was actually fun! This is a huge goal of mine for every session! To ignore any stressors and to just have fun :) Her auntie made this pink dress for her, which looks so wonderful against that green background. Thank you, Barbara for letting me do my thing and for trusting that it would all turn out well :) I hope you love these! I can't wait to meet Sadie!XOXO       

Nashville Pregnancy Photographer | Nika's Forrest Maternity Session

Its such an amazing job to be able to photograph a woman's pregnancy and her baby. Sometimes, I really believe I could not dream up my clients even if I tried. Nika is ridiculously beautiful. She brought a light blue dress that was perfect in every way. I love the pine needles and how they reflect that the photos were done in late November.We got fairly lucky in terms of weather, it wasn't brutally cold. Her gorgeous skin tone is amazing and makes me eager to see what her baby will look like. I loved working with this couple and their love was evident during the entire session.Nika,Thank you for choosing me to capture this special time in your life.Warmly,       

Nashville Baby Photographer | Amanda's Mini Maternity Session

Amanda acted coy, but somewhere inside, she MUST know how gorgeous she is! That light only accentuated it :D In 2014, I began offering more than just maternity and newborn. I offer first year and family, etc. I also have begun photographing older children as well. If a client signs up for certain first year collections, I offer them a complimentary 30 minute maternity session and the ability to purchase a la carte. This is Amanda's fourth child and Im pretty sure its her FIRST maternity session! What a shame :) She's too gorgeous to have missed this opportunity.If you want your family captured, contact me here! Warmly,
