Hello There!

Two things my clients often tell me:

  1. I can’t even remember how many times I’ve been told by newborn mama’s that they are so relieved they don’t have to go anywhere for their session because I am coming to them!

  2. They love not feeling rushed to have a newborn session within a 2-week window. They are happy they can wait until their newborn baby is a little older and more comfortable.

Hey, I’m Bethany.

I started getting into photography when my second child was one, so that was 17 years ago - wow. We were living overseas at the time and Sony had just released their first dslr! It had me at hello…

Fast forward a few years and another baby, the urge to really try photography as a business persisted. We moved back to America, here in TN, and since then, I’ve experimented with different styles, genres, including brands and flat lays, and I always wanted to go back to families and newborns. There is nothing in life that we love more than our favorite little people and I love photographing that for you.

It’s in the chaos that we have the most laughs and get the best pictures.

So, how do we start?

What To Expect

1

I’m introducing Online Booking this year! You choose your session date, pay your deposit, and sign the contract all in just a few clicks!

2

I will get back to you after you book. Feel free to email any questions you already have, as well. We will go over all your questions and I’ll send you my What to Wear guide and How to Prepare (if we’re doing In-Home).

After the session, I start editing. Your gallery is usually finished in 3 weeks and is emailed to you. My Newborn and Family sessions are all inclusive so that means you don’t have to pick and choose, you get them all.

The bottom right photo shows the baby lying in an orange basket, wearing a white onesie with buttons and a headband, with an older girl looking down at her.
