Sometimes, God gives us what we didn’t know we needed. That’s exactly what sweet Samuel has been to his family for the past year. I adore Nashville family photography sessions and was ecstatic for his first birthday photo session to celebrate! This boy is every little bit of tractor loving boy but has the absolute sweetest personality! He’s a total mama’s boy, loves his daddy, and has four of the best big siblings I know!
We met at the old Versailles Grocery Store in Rockvale, Tennessee, and his mom had some fantastic props for us to use during his session (do you see the most amazing red tractor?!) Not only does Samuel LOVE his tractor, he has the sound a tractor makes down pat.

Can you hardly stand the jeans and suspenders? Allllll the heart eyes! And I should also mention how much he LOVED the balloons…but who could blame the little fella?
Happy first birthday, Samuel! You are so loved, so sweet, and absolutely precious!
Love this session? Check out more from Samuel’s big brother’s Murfreesboro Senior Photo Session here!

October engagement photos at Cheekwood Estate & Gardens — Nashville, Tennessee There’s something about October at Cheekwood that feels almost cinematic. The light goes golden earlier, the gardens shift into their rich autumn palette, and the whole estate takes on this quiet, unhurried magic — which made it the absolute perfect backdrop for Jon and […]

There are venues that feel like backdrops, and then there are venues that feel like characters in the story. The Estate at Cherokee Dock is the latter — a place so layered with beauty that every turn of the grounds offered something new, something unexpected, something made entirely for photographs. — Rachael Knaak, Harp & […]

It’s one of those rare Nashville venues that effortlessly blends luxury, history, and warmth in a way that never feels overdone. As a wedding photographer, I’m […]

Some places hold more than memories — they hold the beginning of everything. For Ethan and Veronica, that place was Vanderbilt University. Where It All Began Long before the moment his mom called for me to photograph their Vanderbilt proposal, their story started on campus — woven together through shared experiences, late nights, and the […]
