I heart pregnant women. I just think they are adorable! After putting up Cara’s sneak peek of this session, I told her that I just couldn’t get over how gorgeous she is in these photos! Brook you are a lucky guy, and I am sure y’alls daughter will be just as beautiful. Can’t wait to meet her later this summer!
Congrats y’all! Thanks for letting me document this special time. 🙂 Happy Monday!

I met Mary Clark in college on a FCA trip to New Orleans. Are y’all ready for a blast from the past? Almost 8 years ago exactly we got to serve at a community center in a combined Art-Construction service group. (Can you guess which part of the group we were in? Hint: we did not pick up any shovels or pour any concrete.) 🙂
{Goodness. Remember how when you were 19 and thought you were a grown up and then suddenly you are almost 28 looking at a photo of your 19-year old self and realize you looked like you were 12 (and still probably do)? Yeah….. And no I’m not talking about Mary Clark.} Anyways, I digress. Mary Clark and I headed to Franklin to do a quick photo shoot…we lucked out with a beautiful day, and other than a short run-in with the park ranger (woops!) we had a lot of fun! Enjoy-
Why yes…her eyes really are that color. Its okay, I’m jealous too.
Beautiful day, beautiful friend. Happy Monday! Back in February, Hope happened to see me when I was shooting Stephanie and Nick’s engagement session. Little did I know that Hope and Weston had gotten engaged the night before! She stopped me in the park and asked for a card, and several weeks later we exchanged emails and met for coffee about their upcoming engagement shoot. {Lesson for the day: Always have your business cards with you.} 🙂 Even though Weston and Hope are from the same town in Louisiana, they didn’t meet and start dating until college. Fast forward a few years, switch states, and add some grad school…and here they are in Nashville together. If I had to choose a word to describe Hope, it probably would be sweet. Not a “bless her heart” Southern kind of sweet…but a genuinely kind-hearted sweet. Even from the short amount of time we spent together her kindness was very apparent. I am pretty sure Weston would agree, and several times during their shoot I caught a “I just won the lottery” look on his face as he looked at his gorgeous bride. I think y’all will agree…Hope looks beautiful in these photos. Enjoy!
So these two totally get cool points for hiking up a trail {in heels and nice clothes} to get a few shots by an awesome fireplace in the middle of the woods.
Ladies, check out the detail on this gorgeous antique band. Love. It.

It might just be me…but those baby blues and bangs remind me a little of T. Swift (in a great, beautiful way). Aly, love the photo of the band, so gorgeous. Hanna and I met due to fate {and the promotion of my husband}. He occasionally leaves my business cards in various shops when he grabs coffee or lunch, and Hanna just happened to work in one of those coffee shops. I got an email from her saying that she got a “good vibe” from the look of my card and wanted to meet with me about her wedding. Some things were just meant to be. I had a great time getting to know her and Dakota during their engagement shoot. These two are fun. And funny. We laughed a lot, and wandering through Shelby Park I learned some embarrassing stories and inside jokes that will certainly come in handy when photographing these two at their wedding.
Despite his laid-back appearance, Dakota obviously adores Hanna. Like most guys he probably is ready for the wedding planning to be over, but he told me that he is most looking forward to just doing “normal life” with her. Hanna has a beautiful heart (and looks pretty gorgeous in these photos too!) so its easy to see why he’s ready to do life with her.
We wrapped up the shoot by stopping by one of their favorite coffee shops (just another reason why I like this couple- they share my love of caffeine). Can’t wait to photograph their wedding in a few weeks! Happy Wednesday!

I just loved your website – just fantastic photography – I enjoyed the pictures from the shower – Your Aunt Meg and I were talking about you taking pictures of my daughter who is pregnant when your come back (she is due October 12) or baby pictures at Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to seeing you again at the wedding, such exciting times. I loved the picture of the iron gate from downtown – I would love to see if you have any more, I would love to buy a picture for my mother. Thank you! You are very talented.

How laid back are these two! They look great together and that really comes out in the shots. I can imagine the pictures from the wedding will be just as gorgeous – in a laid back kind of way 🙂 Nice post. “Don’t believe about 90% of what he tells you,” Stephanie told me laughing as we fixed our coffee. I was able to meet these two a few days before their engagement shoot to get to know them a little bit. She was right…Nick definitely was a little bit of a jokester with a very quick wit. These two met at work, and although Nick claimed that Stephanie transferred to his location “after catching one handsome glimpse” of him on a visit, Stephanie quickly clarified that they met after she decided to move here. These two were so much fun to work with this weekend, and although they claim to be “un-photogenic,” I think you will disagree with them right along with me. Stephanie, you are gorgeous. Ridiculously beautiful. Period. The end. So no arguing. And Nick, I still stand by what I told you on the photoshoot…you have a contagious and mischievous smile that looks like you know something funny that no one else does. Not sure what to call that…charm maybe? 🙂 Whatever it is, I had a blast working with y’all and congrats on being engaged!
And this is why we had fun:
Happy Monday!
