Cozy Boudoir| Boudoir Photographer

Here is another gorgeous woman breaking out of her comfort zone and doing a boudoir session. She is full of laughter and beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. When a client asks me what they should wear to a boudoir shoot, I always reply with anything that you feel comfortable in. You don’t have to be in lingerie to feel sexy. A coxy, oversized sweater can make you feel just as sexy as a lingerie piece. Don’t overthink your outfits for your boudoir session, wear what makes you feel sexy and comfortable.

No Makeup Beauty| Boudoir Photography|Portrait Photography

This woman is gorgeous just as much on the inside as she is the outside. I have to point out how she isn’t wearing a bit of makeup. Don’t we all wish we can look this gorgeous without makeup?!?!?!?

Another fun fact about this session is she is wearing her grandmothers jacket in her portrait photos. I love it when sentimental aspects are represented in photographs. It provides true meaning and a story behind the photo.

From Inside the Belly to Outside the Belly|Maternity Photography|Newborn Photography

This Mom right here is one gorgeous lady. Pre-pregnancy, during pregnancy, and post pregnancy. Motherhood especially looks good on her. These two parents slayed their engagement session and slayed their maternity session. I have a feeling Slade will be the best big brother. Storm is already a very loved little girl. She will be spoiled by her Mommy and always protected by her Dad and Big Brother Slade!

Sisters Forever| McMinnville, Tennessee Photographer

Even though Christmas was 3 months ago, I had to make a blog post about this session. These sisters wanted to do a session of the three of them for their parents. When we are adults we forget that our parents would love updated pictures of their children. After all, you will always be your parents babies. No matter what age you are, make sure to update those pictures.

Fresh 48 Photography| Cookeville, Tennessee Photographer

I will admit it, I use to say I DID NOT like doing newborn sessions. They are probably the most stressful session a studio newborn photographer can shoot. I would refer people to other newborn photographers because I wasn't confident in myself. However, fresh 48 photography and in-home newborn photography are sessions I'm starting to really love. I love the raw and real moments that you get during both of these sessions.

Couples Photography| Sparta, Tennessee Photographer

These pictures truly glisten of this couple. The golden hour sunset made every picture glow and all the colors pop, which is what I love. They only booked a mini session, and that is really all they needed. They photographed so well that they didn't need an entire hour and that is something I do offer to my clients. If you only want to book a mini session that is an option.

Ambiance Nail Salon| Cookeville, Tennessee Photographer

Can you say Squad Goals!?!?!? I loved doing this business shoot. These ladies were nothing but fun and genuine to themselves. Even when you own your own business, you have to stay true to yourself. Let your business portraits represent who you are and make them fun. People and clients look for authenticity and someone they can relate to when booking you for the service you provide.

If you haven’t checked out Ambiance Nail Salon, you are missing out. These boss babes keep growing and, in my opinion, are the best nail salon. I loved collaborating with these fellow boss babes because these girls work hard to provide quality service. As a fellow boss babe, I respect and admire that.

Couples Photography| Sparta, Tennessee Photographer

Golden hour for this session was absolutely perfect. It provided so much mood and brought out all the colors. These two were a blast to shoot and you can see the genuine love between the two in every photograph. I love meeting couples that have fun during their session, even if having their pictures made isn’t their favorite thing to do.

Engagement Photography| Shelbyville Engagement Photographer

I hope everyone else is cheering their way into this New Year. This couple was an absolute blast during their engagement shoot. They let themselves enjoy each other and had lots of laughs, genuine laughs. People tend to overthink their session and what they should do during their shoot. My advice is genuinely to be yourself and let yourself have fun with your photos. You want to look back on your engagement photos and remember your session being a fun time. Bring a beer and have some fun.

Fall Photography| Sparta, Tennessee Photographer

Fall mini’s are always some of my favorite sessions to shoot. Most of my fall mini clients are recurring clients, so I love seeing how families change between sessions. Fall photos turn out to be some of the best photos for clients. I think the golden sunshine, fall wardrobe, and the fact it’s not 90 degrees outside helps with that. If you only choose one time of the year to have portraits made, definitely pick the fall. The colors always pop.

Reality of Picture Day| Middle, TN Children's Photographer

I know we all love looking at the Pinterest perfect pictures of kids photos, but let's be honest kids have off days. They could be perfect little angels and do everything just how you want them to or they could cry the entire time. This family session turned out to be a good session, but there was a lot of crying and very few smiles. That's the reality of kids though, their true reality. They cry, smile, throw fits, have off days, etc. I know when you get to finally have family photos taken, you want them at their best, but having a photograph of them smiling or having one with them also being themselves throwing a fit, is a good photo as well. Embrace the perfection, but also embrace the other side of it. Remember that's reality for the rest of our lives!

Agee Wedding Photography| Sparta, TN Photographer

Even though this Mr.and Mrs. got married in Gatlinburg, they wanted to have a session at home with the kids involved. If you decide to elope, you can still get dressed up and have pictures taken at home or after-the-fact. Sometimes when you book a venue out-of-town, you don’t get much say so on who your photographer is. I mean, I know the groom won’t want to get dressed up twice, but what bride doesn’t want to get dressed up in their wedding gown again.

Sports Photography| White County High School

Sports pictures don’t have to be generic. Especially when your kiddos play multiple sports. Get them dressed up and have their photos taken so you can truly look back and remember their personalities when they played sports. These two always do good for their pictures and these are some of my favorites of them!

Family Photography| Sparta, Tennessee Photographer

When you have a family, this big, getting everyone to be on the same page can be tricky. Thankfully I was able to capture pictures with everyone looking. I did have to work for it, but it was worth the work. I love it when prominent families get everyone together for pictures. Plus, grandparents do love it when they have pictures of their grandbabies.
