Family portraits are more than just photos — they're memories you'll treasure for generations. Whether it's a young family with little ones, a multi-generational gathering, or just the two of you, I'll capture the love, laughter, and connection that makes your family uniquely yours. Sessions are relaxed, fun, and stress-free!

Senior year is one of the most exciting milestones of your life. Your portraits should reflect that! I specialize in senior portraits that are authentic, fun, and totally YOU. Whether you want something classic, adventurous, or a mix of both, we'll create pictures you'll look back on with joy for years to come.

FAQs

What areas do you serve?

I'm based in Gallatin, TN. I also take photos in Hendersonville, White House, Hartsville, Lebanon, Portland and the greater Nashville area. Live farther out? Just ask. I'm happy to travel.

How do I book a session?

Call me at 615-362-3156 or fill out my booking form. I usually reply within 1 to 2 hours. We'll talk about what you want, pick your package and set a date. You'll get an invoice or receipt for your session.

What kinds of photos do you take?

Family portraits, senior photos, and personal branding and headshots. I also do maternity, engagement and couples sessions. Clients have also had me capture a surprise proposal, an anniversary and a first birthday.

Where do sessions take place?

Most of my sessions are outdoors, and golden hour is my favorite light. In Gallatin, I love Triple Creek Park and a few local farms. In Hendersonville, I love the arboretum off Walton Ferry Road. I can also come to your home. One family had me come to their house for last-minute Christmas card photos.

Do you edit or Photoshop the photos?

Yes, I edit every photo. I touch up things like bruises, cuts and scrapes, and I can remove distractions in the background, like cars. I keep skin tones and colors natural. I don't use Photoshop to make big changes to how people look.

What do I get after my session?

You get professionally edited, high-resolution digital photos in an online gallery. It's easy to download them and share with family. One client said every gallery I've delivered has been stunning.

I'm not good at posing. Is that okay?

Yes! I guide you the whole time. Families say I give clear direction and make everyone feel relaxed. One client said the candid, unposed shots turned out to be their favorites.

Are you good with kids?

Yes. Parents say I'm patient and kind with their kids and get the best out of them. One parent said I captured all the fun sides of their 3-year-old, got lots of smiles, and it never felt stressful.

My teen is camera-shy. Can you help?

Yes. One parent said their 18-year-old son didn't even want senior pictures. I helped him feel comfortable, and the family loved how they turned out. I take my time so teens feel at ease and can just be themselves.

Can you handle a big family group?

Yes. I've photographed a family of 13, even in hot summer weather. I'll help you plan the session and find a spot that works for everyone.

Can we bring our dog?

Yes! Lots of my sessions include family dogs. One family said I got the humans, the baby and their wild child fur baby to all smile. I have dogs of my own, so I love it.

What if we need to change the location?

I'm flexible and quick to answer messages. One family had to change locations a few times to work around their baby, and that was no problem. Just reach out and we'll figure it out together.

What are branding photos for?

Your website, LinkedIn, social media and marketing. They help you and your business look polished and real. One local florist said I capture their flowers exactly the way they picture them.

Do you offer discounts?

Yes. I offer discounts for active duty military, veterans and first responders. Thank you for your service.
