In the Moment: Capturing What Time Won’t Return in video + photos
Nashville, TN + Beyond
"I’ve used her for maternity/family photos, birth photos & birth film.
I would hire Jennie a million times over."
~ Joy
Authentic, Real, and meaningful memories for families who refuse to settle for cookie-cutter.
"My husband actually enjoys photo sessions with Jennie because she captures beauty in real life without having to pose or have too much structure - it feels so natural & the photos are truly us."
"She is such a calm presence in all sessions. Her photos & film are works of art."
I'm Jennie.
I'm not "just another photographer"
My work consists of real moments. Real life. Real stories. It celebrates both the joys and the struggles of parenthood.
After my mom's sudden death, my life was forever changed. I believe that our memories .. REAL memories, deserve to be captured. Movement and Sound really bring them to life.
It's hard to see the little moments you experience each day as important.
The moments won't feel important now. To you or your children. Only later will the importance of the moments you lived really show their true meaning.

The best day ever.
You get to slow down and connect.
I will get to know your family.
I will open your gallery filled with photos telling the story of your LIFE! (video too, if you choose a film+photos session). Because films and photos are sacred, clients see them before they are ever posted to social media. Now you get to relive those moments over and over and over...
All you do during our time together, is spend time with your family! This is your chance to disconnect from the outside world and do your favorite things together. Because magic happens when families connect, the session is easy. We simply hang out together and document your everyday life. It takes a lot of trust on your part, but trust me... I truly make every client happy.
By asking questions about your family, your life, your favorite moments right now... I will get to capture the beauty that you live everyday.
You will decide if you want a film + photos session or a documentary photography session.
Book your session today. Life's memories don't have to slip away.
"My birth photos + film blew me away. I have only become more & more thankful we get to relive one of the best days of our lives many times over. I cannot recommend Jennie & her kind, gentle, patient demeanor more. Not to mention, she’s an amazing communicator & she gets photos/film back in a very timely manner."
FAQ
Why are films more expensive than photos?
When is the best time to book a family film?
The subscriptions and equipment involved in making films is far more than one can imagine. Films are an investment and I make sure to always include payment plans. I pour everything I have into every single film. Editing a film can take between 20-30 hours, or more!. I believe in this work and trust me when I say you will never regret booking a session.
NOW! This is YOUR LIFE. It is beautiful as it is RIGHT NOW. Even if it's chaotic, or messy, even if you are planning to move or in the middle of renovating. You will wish that the story you are living right now was told.
What should we do during our session?
Do you travel?
Whatever you normally do! I can help you brainstorm this. And it will be more magical and less boring than you think it will be! Some clients bake together, rough house with dad, reading books, blowing bubbles, riding bikes, playing soccer in the yard, cooking a meal together, and all of the in-between moments that we don't plan on!
Yes, I love traveling for films! I just ask that you pay for traveling expenses along with the cost of the film.
Does it matter if our house is a mess?
Are photos included in the film session?
Please do not run around like a chicken with your head cut off scrubbing everything and throwing all the clutter into closets. If it's representative of your normal life, let it be. I am talented at shooting in a way that does not emphasize the clutter or mess (my house is messy and we homeschool and clutter is everywhere!). So no judgment. What matters most is you connecting with your family and being as low stress as you can!
Yes, photos are included! I tend to capture at least 40 photos for most films.
What should I wear?
Whatever is comfy and feels good. Somewhat close to your daily attire. I leave this up to clients but can offer advice if you need!
