I ran a mini pet photo session giveaway to celebrate National Dog day a few weeks ago and the sweet Brown family was the winner! They brought their three beautiful daughters and sweet puppy for some fun family pictures at Dunbar Cave. As a dog mom (and cat mom and horse mom) myself, I love […]

I have been dying to shoot at a sunflower field and finally had the opportunity to when Boyd’s Pumpkin Patch announced they had a large sunflower field ready for photos! Even better, it was in Clarksville, so there was no crazy hike down to Nashville for photos. The Boyds are a super sweet, family owned […]

Is there anything more cliche to summertime than running through fields barefoot, munching on juicy watermelon and cooling off in the creek?? I mean…I can’t think of anything if there is! Which is why this fun kids photo shoot was such a blast! It was right around July 4th, so we combined Americana with watermelon […]

Let’s be honest for a second. Most inquiries I get come from moms who have to force, bribe or beg their spouse and kids for family photos. It’s the nature of the beast. But every so often, I get the pleasure of hanging out with a single parent and their kiddos. As a parent to […]

As a photographer, we are blessed to be part of some of life’s greatest moments-births, senior year, engagements and weddings, but sometimes, we are asked to document the closing of a chapter- a funeral of a loved one, or the last days of a pet’s life. That was what my sweet friend Jennifer asked, to […]

Each year, I like to enter a photography contest called Shoot & Share. The Shoot & Share Photo Contest is the world’s only free & fair photo contest. You can enter up to 50 photos in 25 different categories. The Shoot & Share Photo Contest is unique because it’s all about the photos. It’s not about one […]

Sometimes, you put a lot of time and planning into your session, and then the kiddos just aren’t on board. It happens, and that’s totally ok! I will never rush our time together, and if the kids don’t come around, we reschedule, because at the end of the day, a little extra patience is ok […]

During a long weekend trip from Clarksville, TN to Hope Mills, NC, I had several family photo sessions lined up. It was just my fortune that I got to start my weekend with the beautiful K family at Mp Sporthorses Farm. This joyful family was full of sweet smiles, despite the early morning hours! Big […]

The sweet H kids were such a joy to have in front of my camera! They were so easy to work with, all smiles and giggles, a rare treat for any photographer. It was a joy getting to know them. Their Mama is going to have her hands full in the coming years! This year’s […]

As an older sister and photographer, I understand both sides of the track when Mom says she wants photos of the kids together! For the kids, it normally means eye rolls and stiff smiles, but I like to keep things as pain-free as possible, while giving Mom those memories to treasure! The sweet C boys […]
