Middle Tennessee Newborn Baby Photographer, Children's photography | Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin, Spring Hill | Blog bio picture

  • the blog

    Welcome! This is the place where I share all my thoughts and feelings about my work. Grab a cup of joe, kick up your feet, and stay a while!

    The question I hear most is, "How did you start your photography business?"

    To be honest, I have no idea. I was going along in life, feeling pretty accomplished with my future laid out before me. I had my Associate's Degree in Early childhood Education, and was finishing my Bachelor's in Psychology. I had started a family and had a perfect life here in Nashville, Tennessee.

    Then one day, I fell in a hole. This hole is known as the world of photography. I had been dabbling in it a bit, but nothing serious. Now, I eat, breathe, and dream photography. It runs through my veins and is an extremely important part of my soul.

    Wait. It gets better. In January, 2010, just as I opened up my business for the first time, I discovered two amazing photographers: Tracy Raver and Baby As Art. There was a distinct moment when I discovered exactly what I was meant to do with my life. I was drawn into newborn photography by their incredible images. Seeing newborn photos pulls at me like nothing I have ever felt before. The only times I have ever felt more in love was when I married my husband and met my son.

    So here I am in 2011. Now I only photograph newborns and maternity and life is perfect. I feel truly blessed to be in this position.

    Enjoy the images. Let them make you laugh, bring you to tears, and make your heart sing. For that is what this job does for me.

    Jennie.

Baby Bumps – Awaiting a sweet, sweet boy | Nashville, Tennessee Maternity Photographer

Thursday, May 3, 2012 Posted in Maternity

Since I have been so largely pregnant and have a small window in which to photograph clients each week, I no longer do maternity photography. I had no idea how much I missed it! I may have to see if I can squeeze a few in after baby arrives.

This is my friend, Eileen. I LOVE photographing her – because she is gorgeous and makes my job easy by being a “self poser”.

A photographer’s dream, I tell you! Here is a large peek at her amazing gallery.

Baby Girl, All cheeks! | Nashville, Tennessee’s Premier Newborn Photographer

Tuesday, May 1, 2012 Posted in Middle TN Baby Photographer, Middle TN Newborn Photographer

Everytime I meet a baby, I say “Oh my goodness, he/she is SO cute” – it sounds terrible that I say it everytime. But I MEAN it every.single.time. I LOVE meeting a newborn or two each week and seeing a set of features before my eyes that makes me oooo and ahhhh. I love getting to know each one’s personality for a short while and snuggling them when I get the opportunity.

I love chunky babies, A LOT. They are so squishy for poses:)

See this little gal. Her cheeks rock:)

Thank you, Courtney, for bringing her to see me. I loved every pose and every time I worked on her gallery!

Warmly,

Jennie

Baby Girl Everleigh. 8 days old. | Nashville, Tennessee’s Premier Newborn Photographer

Thursday, April 26, 2012 Posted in Middle TN Baby Photographer, Middle TN Newborn Photographer

Everleigh.

What a beautiful name and equally beautiful child. She has the sweetest face, the most perfect lips, long eyelashes….. The list goes on.

I – of course!- loved working with her. I cannot imagine a baby I would not enjoy posing, but after each session, I think “I loved posing that baby!”

What an amazingly blessed person I am, to be able to pose such little beings into pieces of perfectly posed art.

Jady,

Thank you for bringing her to see me. It was amazing to see you again and I look forward to watching her grow:)

Warmly,

Jennie

Tuesday, April 24, 2012 Posted in Middle TN Baby Photographer, Middle TN Newborn Photographer

This little guy was great especially given he pooped on me after a gassy tummy, had a bad case of clogged tear duct, and jaundice. Despite all that, he still finished in record time and was pretty good for posing:)His momma was fun to get to know and I love how his newborn session turned out. He has the sweetest hair and face!!! Enjoy – but beware, you may get Baby Fever!

Thanks Crystal!

I loved squeezing on him:)

Warmly,

Jennie
