I can’t even lie, I hoped for months I’d get an email from these two to do their maternity session 🤣. We had such a sweet evening walking the gardens and talking about all things baby 💕.

I’ve missed these spring golden hours sooo much! There’s nothing like it 🤍.

Drummmm rollllll for post 3/4 of my little series sharing the most common question I get from expecting mamas 🤍.

“Will you keep our secret?”

I’m always honored to 🤍. Pregnancy announcements are not my news to share but I do get so excited to be a small part of something so special! Once you share, I share. It will be our little secret until then 🤍.

Today, I’m going to continue on with post 2/4 of my little series on the top questions I get from expecting mamas🤰.

Newborn photos! I get asked “How do I go about booking newborn photos when we dont know exactly when our baby will arrive? What if there are no sessions available when they arrive?”

For Newborn photos there are 2 options.

1.) A Fresh 48 Session. These are images captured within the first 48 hours of life. They are typically captured at the hospital and document some of your first moments together.

2.) Traditional Newborn Session. These are images captured within the first 2 weeks of life to document all the squishy sweetness while giving you more time to adjust, recover and settle in. I offer these at your home or in studio.

For booking a fresh 48 or newborn session, I recommend booking an undated spot for their birth month so you’re in my calendar/a spot is held for you. Then once your sweet baby arrives, we can discuss the specifics on day/time that fits your newborns routine best.

The best way to chat with me about snagging your spot for a fresh 48/newborn session is through my website on the contact tab:

Expecting in 2026? Congratulations to you, mama! What a blessing 🤍.

Tonight, I’m kicking off a 4 post series on my top photography related questions from expecting mothers. The #1 question being:

“How long should I wait to do my maternity photos?”

When it comes to a timeline for maternity photos, I always recommend trying for around 32-35 weeks. My reasoning for this is pretty simple……your bump will be adorable but you won’t be completely waddling like a penguin yet 🤣. I don’t want any soon-to-be mamas completely miserable for a session they’ve dreamt about for years. Also, it takes me 2-3 weeks to finish your photos and send your gallery. I want to make sure you get to enjoy the experience all around before your little bundle of joy arrives.

My 2026 books are now open 🤍. The best way to chat with me about snagging your spot for a maternity session is through my website on the contact tab:

Now, it’s storytime about this session…

Oooooo this session. This was the first session in yearsssss that came close to making me have a heart attack. I was driving to the location and it got so gloomy, rainy, dark and gross that the street lights came on at 4:00. Panic. I was driving in pure panic. Shooting in moody light is one thing……a personal favorite honestly……but shooting in the dark is another thing all together 😅. After about 5 minutes, this beautiful sunset popped through the clouds. Dreamy evening light and a touch of pink, fitting for a soon-to-be baby girl 😍. I’d never been so happy to see that golden hour goodness!

It’s my favorite week of the year, Thanksgiving week! 🦃 I hope everyone has a wonderful week with their family & friends 🤍.

“When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your blessings, see what God hath done;
Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.

Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, ev'ry doubt will fly,
And you will be singing as the days go by.

Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your blessings, see what God hath done;
Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.

When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings, money cannot buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.

Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your blessings, see what God hath done;
Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.

So, amid the conflict, whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey's end.

Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your blessings, see what God hath done;
Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.”

Count Your Blessings (Baptist Hymnal, 1991)

I’m happy to bring more of our lovely East Tennessee fall to your feed this morning.

Storytime…..

I won’t be forgetting about the Terry family anytime soon 🤍. They took the brunt of the rain that came across the parkway on fall mini day. I kept checking the radar in between families and could tell it was coming….and coming right for their time slot. I gave Danielle a call to see what she thought and of course they were all dressed, ready, and in the car. I couldn’t imagine getting all those sweet babies ready and then not being able to do your session. So we decided to go for it! And I’m so glad they did. We made some unforgettable rainy day memories in the mountains! 🤍🫶🏻
