I Captured a Family Right After Waking Up … and It Was Everything | Nashville Family Videographer + Photographer
Some of the best moments I've ever filmed happen before 9am… before the coffee is finished, before anyone has checked their phone, before the day has a plan.
New parents snuggling their baby in their bed early in the morning.
A few weeks ago, I arrived at a client's home just as the house was waking up. It was her first family film and photos session, and she'd been nervous leading up to it. She wasn't sure what to capture … what would even be worth filming in their everyday life?
Then it hit her.
Her favorite thing right now is waking up with their baby in bed with them. The slow, golden first hour of the day when her baby talks and talks, nurses, wants to read, wants to snuggle. The whole family together, unhurried. She told me it's just the most precious season they're in.
So that's what we captured.
No posing. No prompts. Just that …. exactly as it happens every morning … preserved.
This is why I love what I do. I get to come into your home and document whatever it is you love right now. Not a curated version of your life. The real thing.
Because here's what I know: seasons change. The morning nursing sessions, the way your toddler says certain words, the baby who wants to be held every single minute … it's all fleeting. A family film lets you press pause on this season and replay it for the rest of your life. Hand it down, so your kids can one day see themselves the way you see them now.
If there's something you love about this season of life … something that makes you think I never want to forget this … let's talk. That's exactly what I'm here for.
