Sophie & Piper: Nashville Photographer

Today was the second time Sophie and Piper visited me at the studio. Sophie was putting on a show for me, but poor Piper was having a rough day and not a big fan of mine. You'd never be able to guess, right?  ;)

Jeremy & Dana: Nashville/Murfreesboro Engagement Photographer

I spent the afternoon with Dana and Jeremy and I can safely say that I am pretty excited about their April wedding! I had photographed their little girl, Zoe, awhile back, but today was all about these two lovebirds. I felt like I was just hanging out with friends and that always makes for a great shoot.

We started out at their wedding venue and went with a sexy vibe, then ended outside for a little more relaxed and fun look...



What is one word people would use to describe you as a couple?
Crazy has been used numerous times!


Back story: Originally from Boston, I was in Nashville for business. My co-worker and I went out for dinner/drinks (BB kings) after a long day and Jeremy was our waiter. We exchanged numbers and randomly texted back and forth for weeks. Texts turned into LONG phone calls and before long a plane ticket was booked for me to come visit. Jeremy has a little girl, Zoe, who was 3 months old at the time we met. Everyone thought we were insane. Who's laughing now?


Where was your first date? What did you do?
Our first date lasted an entire weekend, beginning at the airport when he picked me up :)






What are your favorite "together" activities?
They say you know you truly love someone when you want to do boring  things with them (ha!).
We are on a mission to try EVERY Zagat rated restaurant in Nashville, sippin' some fancy beer or a good (strong) cup of coffee. Boring? I think not!






Where did your proposal take place?
At the airport. We love it there, can you tell?
After spending Christmas apart, Jeremy offered to pick me up from the airport so I didn't have to take a cab home. Such a gentleman, huh? I planned on meeting him outside to make things easier and hurried off the plane to beat the crowds. As I was running through the waiting area I caught him out of the corner of my eye. The first words out of my mouth were, "wow, you look so happy to see me!" as he stood there like a deer in headlights. The next few minutes were a blur. He was down on one knee, there was a ring and I said yes!






What makes him/her sexy to you?
Dana: Where to begin? I love all of him. At the top of my list would have to be the kind of father he is, never get in the way of a daddy and his little girl. Oh, and his ODD sense of humor that only a wife-to-be could love.




Jeremy: I love everything about her. Through our relationship (due to the distance and circumstances) we have developed the ability to communicate in the toughest of times, something that most couples spend years working on. One thing though that no phone call or email can convey is what I feel every time I look at her and once I'm trapped in her eye, I'm hers. I love the way she looks at me with those beautiful eyes. Her smile makes me happy even on the worst of days and we share a certain sense of humor that no one else in the world would understand.






What is something crazy you have done together?
BROOKE I'M TOO EXHAUSTED TO ANSWER THIS...LOL.



What do you both do for a living?
Dana: Clinical Drug Research
Jeremy: Master Luthier




How would you describe your style?
I wish I had some awesome sounding answer, but since we are being honest here...jeans, t-shirt and a beat up pair of toms. If Jeremy is lucky I remember to brush my hair. Nice things and a 2.5 year old don't mix :)




I hope you love your preview, Jeremy and Dana!!

Georgia, 6 months: Nashville Baby Photographer

To say that Melissa shows up prepared for her daughters' shoots would be an understatement. Ha ha ha ha. Today was Georgia's 6 month session, but we had to include both girls in most of the setups. I was loving all of the props they brought and was surprised at how well the girls did. Who knew that two kiddos under 2 could be so easy?











Lexie, 6 months: Nashville Baby Photographer

Poor Lexie has been so sick and we've had to reschedule her shoot several times over the past few weeks. After being in the hospital with pneumonia and then getting a virus, I'm glad she is finally starting to feel better! This sweet girl had the shoot all to herself today (big sis was at daycare) and I about died over her sweet smiles. Love that crinkled little nose!!

Sadie, 6 months: Nashville Baby Photographer

Sadie was in a much better mood today than her last session. I actually got her to smile! She was rocking a onesie from her dad's old band and also the sequined hat he used to wear on stage (it's true, I witnessed many shows in that awful hat). Ha ha ha. She did so great today!

Good to see you, Andy and Sam.  :)






Adyson, 6 months: Nashville Baby Photographer

I haven't seen Adyson since her newborn session and she has gotten so big! She and big brother Landon were perfect today and made the shoot so easy. They are both such happy and sweet kiddos! I could have picked out tons of favorites, but here's just a few sneak peeks...

Finleigh, 8 days: Nashville Newborn Photographer {Middle TN Newborn Photographer}

I wasn't expecting to meet Miss Finleigh for a few more weeks, but she had other plans. She was the sweetest, most laid back model today. She only protested with the tiniest little squeaks and them settled down so quickly. Loved meeting her!!







This was her Mommy's doll bed when she was a little girl. Her grandfather made the bed and her great, great aunt made the bedding & rug. ♥







Harper, 10 months: Nashville Baby Photographer

Harper had to be woken up to start her shoot today, but she was such a trooper. We had about 37 seconds of sad faces, then she was all smiles for me. I told her parents I had high expectations since she was so good the last time I saw her and Miss Harper definitely lived up that...






Ben, 3 months: Nashville Baby photographer

Ben brought his great big personality back today! He was giving me all kinds of attitude for his shoot and I was loving all of his serious expressions. He is just the cutest little man and I went nuts for him all over again.  :)







Then he was done...ha ha.
