This simple, vegetable soup is sure to be a favorite with your family this fall. It can be thrown together in 15 minutes and tastes even better leftover, what’s not to love?

Getting to photograph The Bell Family was a moment that came full circle for me. I actually had the privilege of mentoring Mallory last year and we became fast friends. Now are kids our pen pals, we’ve gone to a homeschool conference together, and she’s even taken my photos! FRANKLIN TN LIFESTYLE FAMILY SESSION As […]

I loved getting to capture Chelsea’s Brentwood, TN maternity session with her husband and precious little girl. The weather was showing out in the best of ways and you can see just how much joy radiated from Chelsea. “We absolutely love being parents and can’t wait to welcome Baby #2 into our family,” Chelsea noted.
