Nashville Professional Birth Photographer, Videographer, and Documentary Family Photographer
Your family’s story…filmed… photographed… remembered.
Overly posed photos don’t show who your family really is.
I film and photograph families in their ordinary (but magical!)
lives so they can relive the moments forever.
BEAUTIFULLY CANDID FAMILY PHOTO & VIDEO
As a parent, your home (and life) are more than a little chaotic.
You’re crazy tired, you're busy, maybe you’re even postpartum or expecting again. You can’t remember the last time you tidied up or picked up your toddler’s toys off the floor. The last thing you want is to force your kids and husband into matching outfits and take a stuffy family photo that ends up in the cloud, never to be looked at again.
Where you live now, what your days look like, and how you feel in this season of life is all part of your history. The days may feel like forever while your babies are little, but believe me, these days are more numbered than you can imagine.
You and your children both deserve to have your real memories, like witnessing a day of your life, but filmed and photographed like a work of art you’ll always cherish. You’ll hear the sound of your children’s little voices, remember the sweet things they say, experience the whimsy, joy, and innocence of childhood.
As they grow up, you can watch your family video and flip through your photos together. When they’re older, it will be a gift you give them. A memory of who your family is at this moment in time, and who they’re growing to be.

I'm Jennie.
Over the last 16 years, I’ve photographed hundreds of births, family moments, newborn babies, and expecting mothers.
I'm here because I genuinely believe your story deserves to be told with care, and I take that seriously every single time.
I last saw my mother at my wedding. Just three weeks later, she passed away. I don’t have any audio of her voice, or any video of that day. If I could play those memories back, it would be priceless.
One day, you’ll feel the same about your memories. This fragile moment in time while the kids are little, you’re expecting, or even before your family is complete, you’ll wish you had these memories to hold. You’ll think back to the time you lived in the rental house with the cracked tile and dishes in the sink, of the days your babies learned how to walk and said their first words, and wish you could see it exactly as you lived it.
As a mom of teenage children, I know how fast those days go. How busy your schedule is, how fragile and fleeting those moments are as they grow up from tiny squishy newborns into little people you fall in love with more every day.
Life isn’t perfect. Most homes are messy and chaotic, filled with your toddler’s toys or this week’s laundry. Being perfect or curated doesn’t make you more worthy of photos. The point isn’t how you or your home looks. It’s not about wearing the perfect outfit. It’s the real moments as you’re living them with your babies.
Instead of feeling photographed, you’ll feel seen. I ask questions before we ever meet. I think about your family between sessions. I cheer you on (sometimes literally) during your birth.
You get to be fully present with your family. I’ll tell the story you can pass down to your children to relive for years to come.
Besides being a family, maternity, and birth photographer for the past 16 years (since my own children were babies!), I’m also…

Testimonials
“She captures real emotions, people as they exist, unfiltered, yet somehow makes everyone look their best. It was amazing to relive the birth experience via the video she delivered– her cinematic style is beautiful! Can’t believe we captured those precious and fleeting moments and get to look back on them forever.”
Piyali Flugstad
“Jennie photographed our newborn photos in our home, and I truly can’t say enough good things about her! Even without perfect lighting in our space, she captured the most gorgeous, intimate images... photos that feel so real and full of emotion. She made the entire experience feel calm and natural, and the end result is something we will cherish for a lifetime. I’m so grateful we trusted her with such a special season of our lives!
Therese Schultz
“It’s beautiful for us to go back and watch the birth. Jennie captured everything without us really even realizing she was there. My wife was intensely focused on birthing our baby girl naturally, and I was hyper-focused on making sure her needs were met through it all, so there are moments we would have missed afterwards if it weren’t for the pictures and video Jennie provided. I highly recommend her services!
Daniel Allen
“Working with Jennie was everything we hoped it would be! She took some of the most beautiful, candid pictures of our entire family (including the pup!) We loved the way that she captured everyone in their element and we will cherish our photos for years to come! Our family video was also better than we ever could have dreamed and it captured some precious moments for this stage of our family's life.”
