Nashville Newborn + Maternity Photographer and Videographer


Unhurried, timeless, intimate photos of your maternity, and the first days of your baby’s life.


"When I look at our photos I remember exactly what it felt like to be pregnant with two active little boys, and what it was like to have a surprise baby girl."

Motherhood is beautiful. It deserves to be documented.

Documenting your early days of motherhood isn’t about how you look. It’s about how it felt, the incredible high of holding your baby, watching those first tiny yawns, and knowing you gave them life. As you two feel through what your family feels like now that your baby is here, these precious moments are the ones that deserve to be cherished forever.

As your photographer, I capture those details and moments that are fleeting: The baby bump that will soon give way to new life. Their tiny, delicate faces and toes. Their first little smiles and cries, the way they instinctually know and love you.

Maternity and newborn photos are about more than beautiful images, though they will be. They’re about bringing you back to this season of newness and life-altering love. Soft light, quiet moments… my natural approach means your photos and films feel authentically you.

“I can’t even begin to describe the experience when working with Jennie! We absolutely LOVED our maternity session with her. So comfortable, capturing the REAL season of my pregnancy. My husband actually enjoyed taking these photos too, which is saying a lot ;)”

  • Sarah Ford


“Jennie is incredible at what she does. She captured a day in the life for us during our postpartum/newborn days with our third baby and captured all the things that we love about this season. From the sounds of our children’s voices, to the little moments of connection. It’s all the memories I never want to forget. I’m so thankful I get to share these with my children and future generations to come. It’s such a treasure and worthy investment!”

  • Neeli Brisky


“Jennie is very talented at what she does. She is able to keep a newborn asleep while creating incredible pieces of art. We loved every moment of our newborn session. I receive compliments ALL the time on our photos, and it's been a month and a half! The photos really are THAT memorable. I'd highly recommend Jennie to anyone looking for a newborn photographer. We will truly treasure these photos for years and years to come. Thank you Jennie!

I’m Jennie, maternity and newborn photographer.

For the past 16 years, I’ve captured memories for hundreds of families, 

from births to newborn babies and ordinary family moments.

When I think about my mom pregnant with me in the ’80s, I think about a story she used to tell. It was a brutally hot day, the kind where sun streams in all the windows and heat radiates off everything you touch. She stood barefoot on the porch, enjoying the breeze and a cigarette. That’s the kind of photo I wish I had: not just an image, but a deeply felt moment.


This is the exact feeling I capture for you. I want you to remember where you lived, how life felt, and the little details that make up this chapter for you. Even if your family isn’t complete yet or you’re still saving up for the dream home, you’ll want photographs and film to remember these days. 

That couch you wish you could get rid of? That’s the place your baby first smiled. The little back bedroom? That’s where the older siblings first met and held their baby brother or sister.

WHY CHOOSE ME FOR MATERNITY AND NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY?


Truly timeless family photos are ones that feel natural and authentic, not posed or like a performance.


  • I FILM AND PHOTOGRAPH IN YOUR HOME.

    No need to get dressed up, put the baby in the carseat, and drive somewhere. I come to you.


    In-home sessions mean you and your baby are relaxed and comfortable in your own space. If you need to breastfeed or put the baby down for a nap, you’re exactly where you need to be. The whole experience will feel easy, serene, and unhurried.


  • I CAPTURE LIFE AS IT REALLY IS.

    Your life isn’t a performance, and your photos shouldn’t be either. Getting photos taken shouldn’t mean you have to be ‘perfect’... whatever that is. I invite my clients to be authentically themselves.


    That’s why I capture life as it really is, through soft light, quiet moments, and a natural approach that means your photos and films feel just like you.


  • I DON’T POSE YOUR BABY IN A BOWL OR WITH PROPS IN A STUDIO.

    My approach to newborn photography is unscripted and authentic, no props or unnatural poses. I come into your home to document the tiny, fleeting details, from their little toes to the way they curl into you as real life happens all around them. 


    When I photograph your family, I make sure it actually feels like your story.

Being pregnant is something that may feel like forever when you’re in the thick of it, but it’s over so fast.

You’re only pregnant for nine months. Your baby will only be this little for so long.

Moments can’t be relived unless we consciously choose to capture them. When you invest in photography and videography, that’s exactly what you’re doing. It’s the kind of investment you’ll thank yourself for in the weeks, months, and years down the line.


I Want to Remember

Reviews

“Jennie photographed our newborn photos in our home, and I truly can't say enough good things about her! Even without perfect lighting in our space, she captured the most gorgeous, intimate images... photos that feel so real and full of emotion. She made the entire experience feel calm and natural, and the end result is something we will cherish for a lifetime. I'm so grateful we trusted her with such a special season of our lives!”

  • Therese Schultz


“My husband and I could not have been more pleased with the photographs. She has truly shown the joy of our sweet baby girl in each photo. Jennie also worked tirelessly to help us create the perfect birth announcement with our favorite shots. We can't wait to show her work with all of our friends and family. If you are looking for a newborn photographer in Nashville, you would be crazy not to ask Jennie to capture the wonder of your adorable, wrinkly, squishy newborn baby.”

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes! Most families take advantage of the interest-fee payment plan and make monthly payments for 12 months.

    The Full Story package is $250/month and the Milestone Story is $150/month.

  • By the 2nd trimester, you should get in touch with me. My calendar can book up, and we’ll want to get your maternity session scheduled as soon as possible. 


  • Sometimes photos don’t do justice to a certain moment. Like the sound of your toddler giggling as he jumps on the couch, or the way your baby gazes up at you like you’re the best thing she’s ever seen. That’s where films come in. When you add this to your package, you’ll receive a 3+ minute professionally edited and sound-designed film that captures the movement and feeling of the moments.


  • There’s no such thing as a home that’s ‘bad’ for photos, and your surroundings are part of the story! I’ve taken gorgeous photos and video in houses of every type: from apartments to luxury homes and everything in between. Your home is perfect just as it is.


  • Absolutely. Personalized planning and outfit guidance is included with every session, which means I’ll guide you on what to wear from those early post-partum days to the 12-month milestone session.

  • If it’s a photography only session, usually 2-3 weeks. If you add on a film, we can talk more in depth. Some clients want it later when baby is cooing.

  • Unscripted and authentic. I'm not posing your baby in a bowl or wrapping them in props in a studio. I'm coming to your home to document those tiny, fleeting details … the sounds they make, their little toes, the way they curl into you … and the real life happening all around them. It's newborn photography that actually feels like your story.
