I specialize in capturing life’s most special moments and milestones with a dreamy, vibrant touch. From golden hour sunset portraits to imaginative creative sessions, I love capturing the magic of childhood. My new senior graduate sessions celebrate milestones with heart and personality (and sometimes a little bit of sass), while seasonal family mini sessions make it easy to preserve beautiful memories together.


*Family Mini Sessions are available sporadically throughout the year. They are typically 15 minutes long and are outdoors at the farm in Franklin, TN.

Send me a message for more info and to get on the waitlist as these sell out fast!

“As a busy mom myself, I totally understand the stress of preparing to wrangle the family together for a photoshoot. That's why I try to make my sessions as easy as possible from helping select outfits to telling you where to stand and look!”

What to expect?

I. Choose your session

After you send your inquiry or book your session, I will go over all the details with you including location, outfits, and tips to help you prepare for your session.

II. The photoshoot

We will meet up at the designated location for the photoshoot. You do not have to have any previous experience at all for this part because I will guide you through everything from where to stand to where to look. All you have to do is show up ready to snuggle, explore, or bring your vision to life!

III. Deliver memories

After your session, I will get to work editing your gallery! Every session includes portrait retouching so I edit each photo to perfection individually in Photoshop. I will deliver your edited photos via a private, online gallery where you will be able to view and download the high-resolution digitals. It's that simple!

My turnaround time is approximately 15 business days of your session unless specified. Busy seasons can get a bit chaotic.

Your session also comes with a print release, allowing you the freedom to print your photos where you want and as many times as you want!

FAQ

What sessions do you offer?

I am mostly known for my creative and fine-art children sessions, but I also offer sessions for senior graduates, cosplay, and seasonal family mini sessions located outdoors during golden hour.

I do not photograph events including weddings, family reunions, birthday parties or extended family sessions at this time.

What times and dates are you available?

I am available sometimes during the weekdays and mostly on weekends! For outdoor sessions I always shoot during golden hour (1-2 hours before sunset), but in-home lifestyle sessions can be booked just about any time during the day as long as there is sufficient natural light.

Send me a message if you'd like to know about a specific date and time!

Where are you located and do you travel?

I am located in Spring Hill, TN which is less than an hour south of Nashville. All of my sessions typically take place in or around Franklin, Spring Hill, or Columbia, TN.

How early should I book my session?

I typically book at least 3 weeks in advance to give you time to plan outfits in case anything needs to be ordered.

If you already have outfits planned then I require a week to plan your session which includes preparing your shot list, scouting and booking locations, etc.

Mini sessions are typically booked 4 weeks in advance because they sell out fast. I do have waitlists available in case I am able to open up another date. So be sure to sign up even if nothing is available so that you can get first dibs on the next available mini!

How many pictures will I receive?

To keep it simple I have 3 different session types to fit your needs. Mini sessions include 5 digital photos in the package, with the option to purchase more at $20 per digital photo. I have a half-hour package that includes 10 digital photos. A full hour session typically includes around 20 photos in the gallery. I do include the best from each pose set so the only ones you miss out on are the blurry, closed eyes, bad ones that you don't want anyway.

Creative sessions vary depending on the vision and level of editing required.

What should we wear?

When you book a full hour session with me I can help you plan the outfits for your session. Color and texture choices are very important if you're looking for a specific aesthetic for your photos so I will go over all of that info with you when you book.

Can you help me prepare for a session?

Yes absolutely! I am here to answer any of your questions, help you prepare your outfits, tell you where to go, what to do, all of the things! If you have never had a photo session before then that is okay too and I will let you know as much as I can about what to expect. I hope to make it as easy, stress free and fun as I can!
