NASHVILLE Family photographer
FAq's
You want beautiful photographs of your family—but between busy schedules, coordinating outfits, and wondering how the kids will do, the process can feel overwhelming.
My portrait experience is designed to take that weight off your shoulders, guiding you through every step—from wardrobe and preparation to a relaxed, natural session. In the end, you’ll walk away with timeless photographs that feel like your family and artwork you’ll be proud to display in your home for years to come.
Family Photos, Without the Stress
Nashville portrait Photography for families Who Want an Effortless Experience
The years of raising children pass quickly, but the photographs that hold those memories can last for generations.
As a Franklin TN newborn and family photographer, I document maternity, newborn, baby milestones, and family life in a way that feels natural and connected. My goal is to create space for genuine moments while guiding you through an experience that feels relaxed and thoughtful from beginning to end.
The portrait sessions below represent families photographed throughout Franklin, Nashville, and the surrounding areas—each one created with the intention of becoming lasting heirlooms, from albums you’ll revisit for decades to framed photographs that live beautifully in your home.

For the Moments You Never Want to Forget
Whether you’re celebrating the anticipation of pregnancy, welcoming a new baby home, or documenting the sweet milestones of your baby’s first year, these sessions are designed to preserve this fleeting season.
Each session can be booked individually, allowing you to capture the moments that matter most to your family. Photographed in the studio in Franklin, Tennessee, in the comfort of your home, or outdoors, these portraits gently document the beginning of your child’s story and the quiet beauty of early motherhood.
Maternity, Newborn & Baby Milestones
As children grow and families evolve, these portraits become some of the most meaningful photographs you will ever own.
Family sessions are designed to feel relaxed and genuine—capturing connection, laughter, and the quiet in-between moments that make your family yours. Whether in the studio or outdoors around Franklin and the surrounding Nashville area, these images become lasting reminders of this season of life.
Family Portraits
Baby’s first year is filled with tiny details, new expressions, and milestones that appear almost overnight. The First Year Collective was created for families who want to remember more than just one moment from this season.
This offering includes a series of thoughtfully spaced portrait sessions that document everything from pregnancy to newborn days and the milestones that follow. Together, these images become a collection that reflects your baby’s first year and the beginning of your family’s story.
First Year Collective
Classic, timeless, and designed to be passed down. Heirloom portraits focus on your child in a simple, refined way that highlights their personality and expression without distraction.
These sessions are photographed in the studio and finished with fine art printing so the portraits can live beautifully in your home and be shared with future generations.

The days of raising children move quickly, but the photographs you create during these years become part of your family’s history.
I work with families who value thoughtful, guided portrait sessions and believe their photographs should be more than digital files—meant to be framed, shared, and lived with every day.
If you’re looking for a Franklin family photographer who will help you preserve these moments beautifully, I would love to connect.
Ready for Photos That Live Beautifully in Your Home?
Yes, digital images are available. Many families also choose to preserve their photographs through heirloom albums, framed artwork, and prints designed to live in their home for years to come.
Do you offer digital files?
After booking, we’ll plan your entire families’ wardrobe together during your design consultation. I offer carefully selected dresses for moms and outfits for children ages newborn-7 years old, while offering wardrobe guidance for dads. I provide guidance on colors, textures, and styling so everything feels cohesive and timeless. The goal is for you to feel comfortable and confident while creating photographs that will look beautiful in your home.
What should we wear?
Most sessions take place in my Franklin studio or at carefully chosen outdoor locations throughout the Franklin and Nashville area. During your design consultation, we’ll decide on the setting that best fits your family and the feel you want your photographs to have.
Where do sessions take place?
Children don’t need to perform or behave perfectly for beautiful photographs to happen. My sessions are relaxed and guided, allowing space for natural interaction and personality to come through. Some of the most meaningful images come from those in-between moments, so just breathe knowing I’ll create beauty no matter the circumstance.
What if my kids don’t cooperate?
Most families reserve their session 1–3 months in advance, even more especially for newborn sessions or seasonal family portraits. If you're expecting a baby, it’s best to reach out during your second trimester so we can plan ahead.
How far in advance should we book?
I photograph maternity, newborn, baby milestones, heirloom portraits, and family sessions throughout Franklin and Nashville. Sessions can take place in the studio, outdoors, or occasionally in your home depending on the type of session and the look you’re drawn to.
What types of portrait sessions do you offer?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We’ll meet for your ordering and design appointment shortly after your session (within the first 1-2 weeks typically) to view your images and select your favorites together.
When will we see our photos?
I offer heirloom albums, framed wall artwork, fine art prints, and gift print options. Each piece is carefully selected for quality and longevity so your photographs can be shared for generations.
