The Hobbs’ Pregnancy Announcement | Franklin, Indiana

September 22, 2017 | Leave a Comment

Olivia and Jeremy are going to have a baby!! I’m so excited for these two!

Olivia reached out to me over Facebook messenger to find out when I’d be in Indiana next and if I would be able to take some photos for them. When she told me the reason why they needed photos, I was sooooo excited! Keeping this secret from the rest of the family (Olivia is my cousin!), has definitely not been easy. So if you’re reading this, Mom, I’m sorry I told you Olivia and Jeremy wanted some photos “just because!”

Williamson County Fair Couples Session | Franklin, Tennessee Photographer

August 29, 2017 | Leave a Comment

A few months ago, Steph had posted in a photography group on Facebook that she would be in Nashville in early August and was looking for someone to exchange a photo session with. I responded, and a beautiful friendship was born. The day we were to meet and take photos finally arrived. We had yet to decide on location, but we had decided to drag our significant others into our shenanigans.

That same week, the Williamson County Fair was going on. It’s basically just down the road from our little house, making it impossible to miss! I had been wanting to create portraits at a county fair for a while, but my attempts were not playing out. I have to give credit to Dan, my husband, for suggesting the fair as the setting for this session. Not only did I finally get to take my fair photos, but we also got some amazing portraits taken of us by Steph/Hazel Lining Photography!

Camille Joy | Franklin, Tennessee Portrait Photographer

August 11, 2017 | Leave a Comment

Meet Camille, a musician in Nashville, Tennessee with a heart of gold! I met Camille a few years ago at a mutual friend’s bachelorette party (whose recent sunflower maternity session you can see here!) Camille and I had talked about photos a few times over the years, but recently we finally made it happen! I think both of us are so glad we did! The resulting photos perfectly expressed both of our visions!

Sunflower Field Maternity | Nashville, Tennessee Photographer

July 29, 2017 | 3 Comments

Jessica and I go way back. In fact, both of us met our husbands through the same band (shout out to Pioneer for being a band of stellar, quality men!) When my husband and I moved to Tennessee, I found comfort in the fact that Jessica and Josh already resided in Nashville. It’s great to move to an area where you already have friends!

When we found out they were expecting, we were thrilled. When Jessica asked me to be her photographer, I was even MORE excited! Of course I wanted to photograph my beautiful friend with her baby bump!

In a nearby town, Murfreesboro, we found Batey Farms, which just happened to have one last day open for Sunflower sessions! Bright, beautiful flowers to match Jessica’s cheery disposition? Yes please!

Of course I had to include a Brenizer/panoramic photo to capture all the sunflowers!

Elaine + Will: Morgan-Monroe Forestry Engagement | Franklin, TN Engagement Photographer

June 30, 2017 | 1 Comment

Originally, Elaine and Will had planned on traveling down to Nashville, Tennessee for their engagement photos. Of course I was perfectly okay with this because it’s local to me! However, when Elaine found out I was traveling up to Indiana for a week, we ended up moving her session up! She’s my favorite kind of client – too excited to wait for her photos!!

We met on a Saturday morning in the Morgan-Monroe Forestry at Bryant Creek Lake. The forestry is one of my favorite locations in my hometown. It seems no matter how many sessions I have here, I always find new areas within the forestry perfect for photos!

Hope and Casey Clark are currently parents of a family of four. They have two beautiful girls (who have both been students in my art class! Poor girls, having to deal with me, haha!) So we might all be a little extra excited that they’ll soon be adding a little baby boy to the family. UPDATE: Clark Family Session, complete with baby Braskey, can be viewed here!

Cierra & Remus: Forestry Engagement Part 2

January 20, 2017

Autumn Engagement Photo of a couple interacting playfully on a path surrounded by fallen leaves in Bloomington, Indiana

In Part 1 of this Autumn Engagement session, Cierra and Remus were photographed in a golden field. I love the warm colors the change in season brings. At least in my eyes, the world just looks more magical! Don’t get me wrong, I also have a place in my heart for the natural greens we see for about half of the year here in our temperate forests! Perhaps it’s that the fall season is with us so briefly; or maybe it’s just that change makes us feel excited.

I had one spot in mind already for these engagement photos: a path a friend and I had stopped at briefly. At the time I was feeling too nervous to so brazenly step out into someone’s driveway for a photo-op. This day was different – I was on a mission! The only issue was that I had no idea where it was! We just drove aimlessly until we hopefully would happen upon it.

My sister, who was assisting/driving for us, probably had a heart attack when I shouted “THERE IT IS!” She’d already passed it so we quickly pulled over for a wardrobe change, then backtracked to the path. This magical path.

Snow Portraits in Franklin, Tennessee

January 12, 2017 | Leave a Comment

A snow portrait of a woman wearing a fur vest against a wintery forest background.

One thing I’ve discovered since moving to Middle Tennessee is that it doesn’t take much for schools to call a snow day! A lot of business will open late or close early on winter weather days as well. Kara, a friend of mine who is also from Indiana, and I took advantage of the white landscape in Franklin, TN to take a few snow portraits.
