Where do I begin!? These pics speak for themselves. First of all, the locations of Anna's shoot were absolutely perfect. Mix of both city/rustic/urban/natural! What more could you want in a session?

Check out her BEAUTIFUL MOVING PICTURE VIDEO RIGHT HERE BELOW! WATCH IN HD! :) 

Using Baskin Robbins ice cream was definitely the BEST idea!! But then again, you can never go wrong with ice cream, can you? 

Anna's sweet personality really shines through these images and just WOW when the sun through the trees illuminates her from the behind! :) Anna is graduating this year from Battle Ground Academy and couldn't be more excited her and her future! Not only is she stunning on the outside but she is one of the kindest people you will ever meet and her smile immediately lights up a room. 

Talk about a classic beauty. Black & white truly never fails. When she's not slaying it on camera, you can find her killin' it on the volleyball courts or volunteering her time at Young Life. 

Just walking down the streets of Downtown Franklin like she owns the town. The bouquet of flowers was a perfect touch. 

Heading down to the creek for a swim, are we? :) 

How cool is this background? The twinkling lights + cobblestone pathway are amazing! 

Is she a BGA senior graduate or a Baskin Robbins model? Haha I can't quite tell! 

The location of this pic reminds of some places you would find in Zurich Switzerland or the streets of Ascona/Roma Italy! 

In the heat of summer, the ice cream was a fantastic prop idea... that was until it melted haha! 

I absolutely LOVE this quote! 

““Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.””

— Henry David Thoreau

“Follow your passion, stay true to yourself, never follow someone else’s path unless you’re in the woods and you’re lost and you see a path. Then, by all means, you should follow that. ”

— Ellen Degeneres

A little humor for today! In all seriousness, Anna, I am so excited to see how your future unfolds!! <3

Tianna is one of the most authentic, delightful people to be around. Just an honor to be able to photograph Ms. Fisk University commemorating such a joyous occasion. 

"The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today. "

- Jackson Brown Jr. 

She's just so stylish we just laughed the whole time and had a blast!! 

This lovely lady is a Fisk University graduate and is SUCH a doll. She graduated with a Bachelors in Businessand how she juggled rigorous academics with pageants, shows, and banquets, I have no idea!!

These two are simply the best!!! So enjoyed their romantic shoot on this cloudy, yet dramatic day. :) Such a treat to have them in from London!! 

Aren't these two simply amazing!? It was so special to find these streets which very much reminded me of the romantic cobblestone streets of Rome, Italy. I told them next time they have a destination anniversary trip to definitely take me with them. ;)   

They have been married for 4 years and still act like newly weds. :) It's so sweet!!! 

Couples that laugh and dance together... stay together. :) 

I have to confess, I have a thing for fall weddings... the colors, the beauty, the almost perfect weather.... just SO delightful. Ah, where do I begin!? Austin and Jozi's wedding was absolutely GORGEOUS, shot in Leiper's Fork at Garrett Farms, one of the most beautiful parts in Tennessee in my favorite month of the year... November :) 

Isn't this beautiful couple absolutely adorable!? We were so delighted to service both as the photographer and videographer team of this rustic wedding. I LOVE capturing love. <3 I once heard a quote, "the greatest gift in life is to love and be loved in return." 

Alan Anders brilliantly stated, "love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses." 

“You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”
– Dr. Seuss

Watch their super moving highlights video with one of the sweetest first looks I've ever seen! <3 

I just think rustic fall weddings are the greatest things, with old barns, wooden chairs, candles in mason jars, stringed lights... I love capturing it all through my lens and preserving memories that will be forever cherished!

Congrats Austin & Jozi! I'm SO excited for your lives together & all the future holds for you two. :)  

Gorgeous golden sunsets, dreamy rustic fields? This shoot with Sydni for her graduation senior portraits was an absolute dream! She looked like a model straight out of a magazine. 

This Franklin High School Class of 2017 Graduate made my job the easiest. Sydni is so easygoing and was so fun to work with!! 

These photos were shot in an open field in Franklin, TN, about 25 minutes south of downtown Nashville. 

Eleanor Roosevelt once elegantly said these moving words that truly resonate with Sydni's passion to follow her dreams in her desires after high school graduation. 

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”

— Eleanor Roosevelt

What a delight it was capturing Ms. Emily Suttle's senior portraits. She is truly radiant inside and out. So proud of her accomplishment in achieving the status of Ms. Teen Tennessee USA. 

To me, senior portraits are so much more than a few pictures before graduation. Senior portraits are about capturing the beauty and essence of each person, and reminiscing on the beautiful accomplishments as well as the exciting possibilities the future holds. 

Mary Kay the founder of Mary Kay cosmetics once stated it beautifully, "When you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner, or you can allow it to overcome you and be a loser. the choice is yours and yours along. Refuse to throw in the towel." That is exactly what Emily chooses to do. She did not give up in anyway on pursuing her dreams and accomplishments and is watching the future unfold for her. I can hardly wait to see what Emily has yet to accomplish! 

Want to see a beautiful shoot of a stunning senior in High School?? Meet Marcella... Class of 2017 Top at Nashville School of the Arts. 

We shot at Watkins Park in Nashville as well as on Clinton St. near Provision International's Foundry and the Fortress on the corner of 16th. 

Marcella is passionate about music and theater arts and is a talented actress in the Nashville area herself! Look out... you may see her one day on Broadway. She's the best!! :) 

This family so dear to my heart, and I am absolutely thrilled with how theses photos came out. Shot on a beautifully cloudy day in Biel (Bienne) Switzerland near Lac Bienne. 

The Swiss landscape never ceases to amaze me. The gorgeous lakes rippling the reflections of the magisterial Swiss Alps in the background are breathtaking. However, nothing fills me with more joy than capturing love and the people that make the scenery all the more beautiful. 

This sweet little one month old baby girl is absolutely gorgeous. Although, my dream is to shoot Swiss weddings... or a romantic dreamy wedding in the Swiss Alps one day, I am completely satisfied capturing newborn life.

Would you just look at those beautiful eyes. She's absolutely adorable!!

Love is one of the greatest gifts we can give to our children. Love and nurturing... there's no bond as special and as unique as a love of a mother for her daughter or son. What an absolute blessing it was to freeze in time these special family moments. 

Traveling is one of my greatest joys in life, so this trip to Switzerland was absolutely over the top! I love when my work brings me to different nations. 

Misty was an absolute delight to work with. This beautiful woman is an inspiration to me in more ways than one. We created this photoshoot to commemorate her 9 extensive month fitness journey culminating with a fitness model competition. 

Paleo eating, gluten free, dairy free, clean eats and working out 2 times a day 6 days a week. That takes motivation strength in more ways than one.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson professional wrestler and actor, couldn't have said it better himself, "If something stand between you and your success, move it. Never be denied." That's precisely what Misty did. I am privileged to capture Misty in this beautiful way, with sunshine, ethereal dresses, and with bohemian floral headbands. 

I am privileged to capture Misty in this beautiful way, with sunshine, ethereal dresses, and a bohemian floral headbands. What a dreamy, magical portrait photoshoot this was shot in Franklin, Tennessee at the wonderful Harlinsdale Farm.
