CRAFTING A SOULFUL VISUAL STORY OF YOUR FAMILY THAT FEELS AS REAL AND ALIVE AS THE MOMENTS THEMSELVES.

Nashville Tennessee Family Photography Packages

Your family's story is written in spontaneous, imperfect, and utterly real moments.

I love taking a non-staged approach to family photography. I truly believe that to capture fun, happy, and beautiful family photos, you actually have to have fun during the photoshoot!

We will take a few shots of everyone smiling at the camera because they are nice to have but the majority of the session will focus on capturing candid and spontaneous moments that reflect the real emotions and personality of your family.

I want your littles to be able to look back on these pictures and feel their childhood, seeing them not as perfectly polished images, but as something meaningful. I want to capture your child's wild spirit and tell the story of your family exactly as you are. 

My in-home newborn photography is all about capturing your little one’s natural beauty in the comfort of your own home! I find that being in your safe space helps new parents and babies feel the most at ease, leading to the most genuine and authentic photos. 

I love using your family’s unique style and home decor to make your newborn session even more special. I am a master at swaddling and bring along beautiful swaddles, headbands, and blankets to every session. My goal is for you to have as little to worry about as possible, please don’t worry about a perfectly tidy home! I only need a few clean and well-lit areas to make some magic!

We have found THE family photographer in Shannon!

The experience and photos were so magical! She perfectly captured the happiness our family shares. We are on her mailing list for minis and can’t wait to see which location she chooses next! I highly recommend her for her professionalism, timeliness!

Shannon took our best family photos ever!

We have been lucky enough to have Shannon photograph our newborn session & fall family photos. She was so wonderful to work with, captured such special moments, and made our family look gorgeous. The experience was fantastic, she thought of all those little, critical details and the end result was incredible. Can't wait for next year's photos!

Q1: Don't know where to go for your nashville family photo session?

A: I have locations in mind to meet every vibe, just let me know the inspiration for your session and I'll find the perfect setting that will suit you as a family.

A: Your comfort is my priority. We'll discuss your preferences and any specific poses you're comfortable with. Maternity sessions are about celebrating the beauty of this special time in your life, and I'll guide you through poses that feel natural and showcase your radiant glow.

Q4: I'M CONCERNED ABOUT FEELING UNCOMFORTABLE DURING my MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOT.

Q2: OUR KIDS CAN BE A BIT UNPREDICTABLE. HOW DO YOU HANDLE WHEN CHILDREN MIGHT BE FEELING SHY OR ENERGETIC?

A: Kids being kids is part of the charm! I specialize in working with children and thrive on capturing their genuine personalities. I'll engage with them in a playful way, allowing them to be themselves. It's all about creating an enjoyable and stress-free environment.

A: Weather can be unpredictable, and I always have a backup plan. If needed, we can reschedule for a more suitable day or explore indoor locations that still capture the warmth and connection of your family.

Q3: WHAT HAPPENS IF THE WEATHER DOESN'T COOPERATE ON THE DAY OF OUR OUTDOOR SHOOT?

Q5: When is the best time for a maternity photoshoot?

A: The ideal time is usually between 28 to 34 weeks when your belly has a beautiful round shape, and you're still feeling comfortable. However, every pregnancy is unique, and we can schedule the session based on what feels right for you.

A: Absolutely! Including siblings and pets adds a personal touch to the session. I'll work to capture the special bond between family members, creating timeless memories for you to cherish.

Q8: Can siblings and pets be included in the in-home newborn session?

Q6: I'm worried about my home being too cluttered for an in-home newborn session. What should I do to prepare?

A: Don't worry about perfection, your home doesn’t need to be perfect. I always just recommend having a declutter of things laying around in places you think you might want some pictures, but honestly, I'll just work with the natural charm of your home. 

A: Patience is key, and I understand that newborns have their own schedule. I work at a calm pace, allowing breaks as needed for feeding or soothing. The session is designed to be stress-free, ensuring we capture the natural beauty of your newborn.

Q7: How do you handle photographing newborns who might be fussy or unpredictable during the session?
